Since there is no ukulele in the original recording, you can play anything that works for you!

Park Jihyo it’s DDUUDU

@@amia3476 You can use anything, all uke patterns aren't the same...

Amia Heath no it’s DDUUDU

Thanks for the suggestion! I always place my suggestions in a separate tutorial which is linked in the description.

Thanks for the strumming suggestion for others, and the positive comments. I'm glad the video was helpful!

Thanks for sharing a strumming pattern!

This really helps, thank you! 🥰❤️

Amazing, I loved it though it hurts my fingers at first hihi but thanks for sharing😍😍😍😍😍

I'm glad you are finding it helpful!

You are welcome! I'm glad it is working for you as a tool to memorize and perform music that you want to learn!

Thanks, and congrats on all your progress!

That sounds fun-mandolin and ukulele! We have family in Georgia-both in Columbus and Toccoa. We visit somewhat frequently!

You are welcome.

Thank you!

Do you mean the Island strum? If so, that strum does work for a lot of songs.

Thanks! It sounds good and I'll be using it for this song

somewhere over the rainbow sounds like

Yeah i used that lol

Did you do it twice for each chord? I'm trying to learn this song for school

I'm very glad to hear that! Thanks for using the videos!

Thanks for the note and best wishes as you continue to play!

Thanks for your suggestion. I’ve been making tutorials that include strumming patterns for new songs for about the past three years, always linked in the description. I’m not sure if this video was before or after that time, but just so you know.

Tell your teacher "thank you" for me. I appreciate that the materials are being used!

@@ukeplayalongs I did and she started laughing bec I told her I would comment on this video and she didn’t think I would actually do it 😂😂

I’m glad it is helpful! Thanks for using the videos!

You have it now! :)

@@ukeplayalongs hahaha lmao

I'm 5th grade and learning this

You are very welcome, and congratulations on the new ukulele.

You're so welcome!

You are very welcome. Thanks for using the videos!

Awesome! I hope it brings you a lifetime of music!

@@ukeplayalongs Thank you! Playing the ukelele is something that can calm me!

Thanks. You are very welcome!

Happy to help!

Jonathan Monaghan - Lol not for me! I can’t do super deep or high. And this song is kinda deep for me 😂 And if I try to bump it up to a little higher pitch, it either sounds weird or I can’t get to the pitch Lol

That's the danger of changing keys with a recording...you can go about three half steps before things sound really strange.

@@katie-lp3yd Try these chords instead: G, D, Em, C (and replace Dm with Am), and when you sing, your starting note is now D#. I hope someone finds this useful.

It's all about doing what works.

You are very welcome!

You are very welcome!

Thanks for using the videos, and for adding a strumming pattern suggestion!

Welcome to the world of ukuleles! I posted a video on my sister channel (RU-vid.com/ukestuff) for beginners, if you want to take a look.

ukeplayalongs thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks for breaking out that ukulele and playing along. May it give you years of happiness!

Thanks!

Thank you!

Thanks for the strumming pattern.

Thank you!

Hi Alex! Thanks for your note. There is a Tricider link in the description of the video, and you can add the request to the Tricider. This channel is 100% volunteer work (ad revenue goes to Google and the copyright holder, not to the video creator), so I have to be very careful about how I approach play along videos as each takes about 6 hours to make (including the different versions and tutorial on the other channel). After songs are requested, I have to make sure they are appropriate for public use (e.g. in schools or community groups) and then balance requests with other songs I want to make, or those that I need to make (songs in the Top 40). What's hard is that people always want play alongs of their favorite songs, but there's not time to make them all, and everyone thinks their song is the best. But...get the request in the Tricider, and we'll see what happens!

Alex...did you notice I published Cowboys and Angels for you last week? I don't normally try to fulfill requests like that...but that one was specially made for you. I hope it helps!

You are welcome!

Glad you like it!

You are very welcome.

Thanks for your post!

It is whatever works for you. I include suggestions for people that can’t determine their own strumming pattern in the tutorial that is linked in the description.

Thanks!

You are welcome.

I have a tutorial linked in the description that should help (I've lost a lot of weight since then!). ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Y8Wdenl8bD8.html

I make some suggestions in the tutorial (linked in the description). I’m NOT going to say it is the right way or only way, but it works and works well!

same!

This is going to come off, I am afraid, as a rude response, but I have to be as straightforward as possible. 1) While you mention what you need as a learner, these videos are actually created to be used by school teachers in classroom settings, giving the teacher the right to cover whatever they want to cover without the video mandating it. You are absolutely welcome to use these, but the purpose was never focused on the individual player/learner on their own. It is wonderful that they can be used that way. 2) Most of the ukulele resources I know of, other than those by music publishers, such as the Daily Ukulele by Jim Beloff, do not mention time signatures; nor do any of the play alongs that I know of. It’s information that would have to be presented at the start of a video when there is already a more pressing matter, such as what chords you need to know to play the song, and as the majority of the songs are in 4/4 time, there isn’t much to say. 3) I do know a few creators that include a strumming pattern in their videos, but I choose not to for a few reasons. First, there is no singular “right” answer. People get caught up in having a “right” strumming pattern, but really, any pattern that fits the music and is at the right tempo is correct. Additionally, as with point #1, this also gives the classroom teacher the right to teach a pattern (or not). I almost never teach.a strumming pattern for a song. 4) For those people who cannot figure out a strumming pattern on their own, I include a tutorial for each new video. I’ve been doing this for a few years now, and this video does have one. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Y8Wdenl8bD8.html It is linked in the description. Granted, this was an early tutorial and I have lost over 140 pounds (!) since I recorded it. But the material itself is accurate to the video.’ So, with all of those aspects, the one request that remains would be offering a starting time signature, which, if you needed it, you could discern from the strumming pattern that is suggested in the tutorial video…so it probably isn’t needed. I do appreciate the feedback, and I read every comment. I make mistakes from time to time; and some people don’t agree with the chords that chords I hear on some songs (I trust my training in music theory including my doctorate and experience in music). Nonetheless, these videos are a free resource, and they generate no income, as the music is copyrighted and remains in the domain of the copyright holder (as well as all ad revenue is shared by RU-vid and the copyright holder). I do make a very small amount ($30 a month) on my tutorial & review channel…but this is all a hobby, and each video (with a tutorial) takes about 6 hours to create, upload, and tag for release. It is one of the lowest paying jobs in the USA. While it would be nice if the copyright holders shared some part of the revenue, I take pride in providing quality educational material for other teachers and their students, and to the ukulele world as a whole. With over 600 different songs created, and having taught well over 1000 students how to play the ukulele, I’m pretty comfortable in the product I create and how it can be used. So, hopefully that all helps you to know more about the process, as well as where to find more information if you need it on any video that was created over the past few years. Thank you again for taking the time to send in a suggestion!

Thanks for the suggestion. I placed my suggestions in the tutorial which is linked in the description: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Y8Wdenl8bD8.html
