Ukulele Lesson for Seniors - Basics for Beginners 

I am not a senior, I'm 18 years old, but this is the best tutorial I have found yet. The material is presented in an easily digestible way, and the tutorial goes slower than most I've found, which makes it much simpler to follow along. Thank you!

I'm 67 and learning ukulele for the first time and I LOVED your tutorial. You went at my pace and explained in the most simple terms from the parts of the ukulele, the placement of fingers on the fretboard and how to strum. Thank you so very much.

My son is 10 he has been trying to learn how to play ukulele by watching online videos. He is a lefty and has trouble following along to other videos. He loved this video so much. Your calm demeanor and the way you teach is perfect. My son and I wish you had more lessons to follow up

I'm a 54yo woodworker, and I just finished building my first musical instrument, a concert ukulele. I've been looking for a good beginner tutorial and I think I've found the one that works for me. This lesson was so simple I know I can remember it. Easy practice and it'll stick. Thanks so very much for doing this.

Thank you so very much, Rob!! I'm 64 and just learning to play the ukulele. So fun! And, you make it easy. I appreciate your deliberateness. That way we can learn by finger memory. Love that! Looking forward to the second lesson. :)

Thank you Rob…….love is the answer…..totally

I commented under another post (oops) but want to say a bit more. Rob I am 62 years old and always wanted to play a musical instrument. I bought a couple Ukuleles so am using the concert size since I have arthritis pretty bad but really want to play. I found you today and did my first lesson today. I am excited because I do believe I can learn to play the Ukulele after your lesson. Thanks so much! You do not know how encouraging this was to me! I look forward to your posting more lessons.

Thank you so much for posting this video. I appreciate the easy slow rate the material is presented. The video takes the frustration out of following along.

Lovely calm and grounded approach………I’m gonna go check out some more of your videos and lessons 🙏

Can’t wait to learn how to practice on my new ukulele!

Thank you so much ! Very patient tutor ! God bless you for sharing your knowledge ! Best regards, Serge Uppiah from Mauritius, small island in the Indian Ocean !!!

GREAT video. Helped a kid, who has been discouraged by other instruments, get started on the Ukulele and he LOVES it! Really appreciate that the video covers how you hold the Uke, proper finger position, and strumming technique.

Thank you for your lesson. I'll be practicing and keep watching.

PLEASE do a lesson on Here Comes The Sun! And PICKING! And Arpeggios! PLEASE!

I loved this lesson! I'm a senior-beginner and the way you did this first lesson was perfect - from how to hold the instrument to first chord practices showing positioning on frets. It seems the action needs to be at the wrist while strumming. Can't wait for more, thank you! 😊🎶

Thank you sooooo much! My mom who is very musically talented now has dimentia and she is playing along with you. You have an incredible teaching method, at a perfect pace for her (and me too!).👏👏👏👏👏👏

Thanks Rob 👍 it was a pleasure learing my 1st lesson from you, can't wait for more, thanks once again 😊

Great attitude and good patience:)

Hi Rob: Thank you for the lesson. I’m 68, and this is my second attempt at playing my Kala uke. Hope this will help my fingers from hitting other strings. Will definitely check out your videos. 😎🇺🇸

Thank you for this first lesson. I am just starting out and it was extremely helpful. I look forward to your next video. Best wishes to you.

Very helpful! Thank you

My dog has fleas is how I learned as a child!

Thank you for that lesson, I am a complete beginner with my Ukulele arriving in about a week. Your lesson has given me confidence that i will succeed in my endeavour to learn to play a stringed instument at aged 80.

Thanks for making lesson easy to folloe

Hi Rob …I can’t seem to find any more lessons and I’m hoping you’re considering doing some more…..I really enjoyed this video…🙂

Thank you LITA, I just discover your video, you are the Best Tutor of beginner Ukulele. Please please when will the 2nd tutorial be ready. Blessings, and much appreciation.

I'm thinking real hard about getting a ukulele! A concertina was way tooooo hard!!

Well, that was fun. I should grab my Tenor but gearing up for cello lessons, if I remain ultra brave. ... A new sub tho. Musicality, or not. Looking more for Jazz, Blue Bossa, etc.

Great video, thank you for posting. Can you show us the cords for Bob Dylans Lay Lady Lay?

Wow, Thanks.

Thank you so much for this.already subsribed your channel.

My grandkids call me G. I'm gonna use the string memorization phrase of G Can Equal Awesome. :)

How interesting! Where is Moran?? State? I run a senior learning uke class outside of Seattle. This semester our theme is LOVE, and we have a different category each week. I arranged an ensemble piece to play….and added words….AND decided that a little Here Comes the Sun riff at the start and end would be cool…..soooooooo, your intro caught my attention! I will send the several beginners I have your way.

Very good explanation we use G good Children E eat A apples.

Great stuff!! any more vids to come?

Hello from the UK Rob. Thank you for this video which I will share with newcomers to our volunteer ukulele band. We are all retired and eager to learn more UKE skills. We entertain residents in local Nursing Homes which is a joy. How do we access your other videos on u tube please? Thanks, Caroline.

Hey, Rob. Are you a Todd Rundgren fan, by any chance? Love is the Answer is what made me ask that question....

Is there a chapter two for uke learning also? I'm on a roll! Thank you

Hi Rob... I loved this as a first lesson.... just don't know how to find #2...??

You should of covered how to tune the Ukulele, type of strings, and how to change strings. Otherwise pretty good lesson, I think I'll go out and buy one.

I know you all must be having a great time

Was this the only video? I love his style of teaching and actually learned the two chords (this was my sixth video and I could actually follow this one) I don’t see any further lessons 😢 maybe I just don’t see them

Your Ukulele looks nice and country if you don’t ask me asking where did you buy it from thanks

when is the next lesson going to be and how will we know

❤❤❤

Thank you for the lesson. I'm 68 and playing now at care homes. I like your uke. What is that please and thank you

This is just what I need, but I don’t see a lesson two?

Hi I want to learn Ukulele but can please advise what is the type of instrument for beginner & not expensive. 🙏Thank you.

Hey thanks for the lesson I'm a beginner and I love it👍😁🙏SUB 😁

i see that you are using a 'kala'? it is gorgeous. is that a design on either side or do they have a function? i can't find one like that.

Can a baritone uke be tuned to the same tuning as the smaller models?

This really works for me lesson 2??

Can u show the Cmajor scales

Where do I find lesson 2 love lesson 1

when will lesson 2 be available please ?

Rob must have won Lottery and gone to the moon, never to be heard of again.

I found this video to be very helpful….where do I find your 2nd lesson?

Plese tell me Rob, what notes did you play after "dream" at the end of row your boat?

How do I get to lesson 2? Can’t seem to find it

How do I find your second and subsequent ukulele lessons, Rob, please?

Or Gotta Catch ‘Em All is easier for me

Isn't that a G cord on a baritone uke?

Aren't baritone ukes tuned DGBE?

What type is that uke?

Is there other lessons?
