Uke Minutes 100 - How to Play the Ukulele in 5 min 

why am I even here? It's three AM. And im going to Stockholm tomorrow. I don't even have an ukulele

I just love the way he says ookalehleh

I love my Uke. I just started learning how I can play three songs and I am taking lessons online from some of these sites. I really don't care if I ever get good enough to play in public, but it sure takes up a lot of my idle time. I'm 74 I lost my partner three years ago so this was a blessing for me.

*Practices at two AM without actually owning a ukulele*

comments: -i don’t have a ukelele and its midnights -im not tyler joseph -i got a ukelele as a gift i relate on such a high scale

okay so now i can finally become tyler joseph thanks man

I don't understand why no one has ever made an instructional video as though the learner is looking from the same angle as the teacher, thus looking at the fretboard the same way, instead of (essentially ) backwards. The camera would be shooting down, slightly out, but over the teacher's, in this case right, shoulder, so as to be looking at the fretboard exactly the same as the teacher. It would make it SO much easier.

I'm 70 and just got my first ukulele. My favourite piece of music is Classical Gas by Mason Williams. I would love to learn to play that and suprise my daughter's in November on my birthday. 🙏🇬🇧

It's been OVER 5 minutes and I'm still not Tyler Joseph

Just found this sight. Quarantined in Missouri and I have an amazing instrument 17 months old to me and I want to play.

Right now, in January 2020, a full *nine years* after this video was posted, it _really_ helped this 56 year old brand new Ukulele owner (just bought it earlier today, along with a little chromatic tuner!) tune and strum for the very first time. I'm grinning from ear to ear, which I'm told is kind of a side effect to playing this happy instrument. Just subscribed too. Thank you for posting these tutorials! ♥

here bc my mum just surprised me with a uke today and i really want to be Dodie Clark

We have to work together to get this man on akinator

i play guitar and i want to get a ukulele just because and this looks ridiculously easy

am i the only one who came here because I genuinely want to learn how to play, not because of a celebrity😂

I've been subscribed to you for 2 or 3 years, and I finally bought a brand-new ukulele for my birthday. I'm both so excited to have it, and so frustrated because my fingers don't seem to want to do what they're supposed to do. It's ok, though...every new thing feels weird and impossible at first. I've decided to accept that I suck for now, and that is totally ok. when else am I expected to be awful at something? I won't worry about how much I suck until at least next week. 😊 Thanks for putting up videos to help me learn to make pretty music! Maybe one day I'll record a thank you video!

I WISH i had a ukulele English isn’t my first language so when i told my mom about wanting a ukulele she just laughed cuz of the name of it , and ignored me like .. why u gotta do me like that Update: i got one 😂

I'm watching these kind of VIDEOS because in 2 days I'm getting a ukelele and this is the best video I've seen so far!!! thank you!!! P.S. plz pray for me so I can get the ukelele because I'm not sure that I'm getting it but I hope!!! #prayforukelele

I recently received a ukelele for Christmas, thanks this really helped :D

Just ordered my Ukulele, haven't received it yet but I'm here watching this and shake my head like if understand what he is talking about.

I don't have a real ukulele yet so I just put four lines (strings) going up and down and three lines (frets) going side to side to practice

Of all these ukulele tutorials this one is the most helpful. I finally learnt G chord

My dominant hand makes a cracking noise every time I twist it. So the up to down thing is crack crack crack

Yes l've just started to learn how to play the Ukulele and l'm really enjoying learning my very first string instrument. 🙂

Thank you. I’m about to get a ukulele soon and this helped me with the chords. I’m bored in quarantine so I’m thinking to try using ukulele. Recommended!!

This is the best ukulele beginner video I've found and I've looked at a bunch. Great job my man!

Sick! Now I can play the Stressed Out Ukelele Version! in 2 years when I'm done with practicing!

Good teaching thank you

i'm soooo close to be tyler joseph now. heck yes.

THANK YOU!!!! My music teacher does not know how to play the Ukulele. So this Helped me so much!!!!!

One step further to be Tyler Joseph

Best video ever

This was really well done, well explained, and now I MUST get a uke. You made me see I could do it! Thanks! Aloha, Annie

My kids are trying hard to play like you. They like your way of playing very much.

I just want to be Tyler Joseph and Josh dun Once I have mastered them both I have become my own panic! At the disco

Just got an ukulele for an early Christmas present! I can finally show my inner Tyler Joseph!

I am totally getting a ukelele now.

thank you so much this helped me learn very fast. when i first stared getting lessons from my teacher she taught me so slow so i stopped taking lessons and started watching videos on youtube on how to play but they all were really slow aswell so thank thank you thank you very very much

Wow! So many tøp fans! Stay alive |-/

I decided to take up the Uke a couple years ago. Problem is, I'm left handed. I decided to just turn it around and learn the chords upside down. Problem is, I couldn't find any books on upside down Uke chords. Apparently most left handers just restring the instrument. I took it one chord at a time and here's what I discovered. Most Uke chords are easier to play upside down, especially the ones that give beginning right handers problems. Like E, D. Bb for example. Those chords are very EASY upside down, and for left handers wanting to learn, I recommend trying the chords upside down. Now as you would expect there are some exceptions. I can not play some chords upside down in their normal position, like F#, Ab, Gb, F7 for example. For those chords I move to the next position up. F#, F7, F#7, turn super easy. E7 is a common chord I thought I couldn't play in the normal spot upside down, it's a little difficult, but I can do it now,. If you can't play in the regular spot, investigate the next one up. Also I found moving from chords in the regular spot to position #2, adds more voices to the song, IMO. It sounds more interesting, and it's more fun, and less boring to move around the fret board.

Amazing man! Thanks for sharing all that knowledge! I specially liked the tuning part at 0:43!

Oh my goodness, you are the Only person that has helped me. Trust me when I say I am truly a beginner. Ive been a vocalist for years, but never played an instrument. Showing how to hold the hands really helped a lot

I don't even own a ukulele what am I doing here

WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN U SNAP A STRING

Mahalo nui! I'm ready to rock n roll with my grandson. C, F & G7 are the exect chords I need for Old McDonald had a farm.

brb getting ukulele

This is awesome - getting one for my daughter so she's confident before studying it at school when she's 6.

@Jake Rabbets Guitar and Ukulele players have long nails on their right hand for strumming purposes, especially classical players. Sorry, your comment was so aggressive that I just have to add: DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am getting a ukulele so I think this is a great learning experience for me

maybe one day ill be tyler joseph

Just got a ukulele to practice with my son! We are both beginners. Looking forward to it, when I find the time? We will though. Thanks for my first lesson.

I'm getting a ukulele this Friday for my birthday and I'm excited to learn

I'll be back here in 4 months (geting a ukulele for my birthday)

Best video available, especially the ideas how to play the ukulele for beginners. Another resource I also found helpful for anxiety about how do you play the ukulele was Panlarko amazing uke planner - it should be on Google if you need it

I'm very scared to to tune it, I scared I might break it

Thank you!!! Helped me learn enough to help start my friend on some uke in an actual 5 mins.

When I strum my finger up and down it get stuck in between the strings does this happen to anybody else? Any tips?

Yaaas! I strummed my banjo uke with you and it sounded awesome!

For a minute, I thought he was tuning it super fast. I was really confused😂

Thanks for this simple and practical video 👍

DEAR LORD RESOLVE THE G7 😱

I play guitar and when you said we're learning the C cord I felt some dread remembering how hard that was to learn on guitar (now it's second nature) but then I saw it was just one string and thought "wait that's it? That's so easy" now I can't wait to get a ukulele

Hey, is it possible to strum with a pick?

I'm in love with how you say ukulele

uhukelaylee

wow, thank you , I just started with the ukulele and in this video, I have learned so much, much appreciated

Can you please tell me what tuner that is, thank you
