I'll play this flawlessly one day, not today but one day.

Yes!!! This is exactly what I was looking for!!! The chords, timing, lyrics and vocals all together!!! The little "next" chord is very helpful also.

Y'all - for those of you who are struggling to "keep up"... Set your playback speed to a slower pace and work on keeping up with it that way. Once you can keep up, set it to the next higher speed. Keep going till you're at "normal". (See the wheel on the lower right of the video, next to the CC box.) This little idea has saved my life and I have learned soooo many more songs this way - not to mention, I've learned how to play so much faster as a whole because I set the playback speed to a level I can handle and then I move up as I get better.

I learned the cords pretty easily and when I started playing it I was playing over the music. My grandma walked in and started singing and I was smiling so I kept going. That was cool 🙂

This song has such a calming, hopeful feel to it. You can’t help but imagine the world he describes and yearn to go there. I’ll be forever grateful to be able to play this and share such a wonderful song. 🫶🌈

This was my grandpas favorite song I miss you so much can’t believe it’s been almost 2 years love you with all my heart ❤️

IZ is the reason I decided I needed to learn to play the Ukulele. I fell in love with his voice the first time I heard it, which is the first time I heard him sing this song. I cried and felt a great loss learning he was gone, especially having just found him. Thank you IZ. Thank you Ukulaliens for sharing this with the world.

I have had my uke for about a week and a half. I've never truly sat down and learned any instruments before. So far I've learned "you are my sunshine" and now I'm learning this 😂 kind of a jump but I'm just taking my time and focusing a different parts of the song each day, I've gotten the hang of the cord switches and now I'm trying to add in the strumming .... emphasis on trying. Lol. In a few years from now, when I start having kids, I want to sing them to sleep and grow up with music in the house. My uke is just the beginning of the collection!

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="20">0:20</a> This is the stamp for the introduction so we can replay it fast

Scream crying listening to it, peace of a million saints learning to play it

Always wanted to be able to play this, and now after just a couple of weeks of having a ukelele, I've almost nailed this song, even the strumming today, now I just have to add the words in. I'll be so happy when I've got this

I love this song.....and this man's voice and his version of this song.........I cried real man rears after hearing this.......God bless him,...and everyone...... thanks.

This tutorial format is the best on you tube, I started playing one yr ago and my drive to learn to play ukulele is this song ,nobody has taken the time to due it like you guys have all I can say is thank you from all that are trying to learn to play a ukulele ,keep up the great job you are doing 👍🏼. 🌴🌺Mr. Dave from Florida 🌺🌴. 1/23/20

My parents played this at there wedding so I’m learning it to surprise them since they love this song

I tried this song a month ago, I couldn’t even begin to do it, but now I can do it almost flawlessly :) thank you so much ukulaliens! My music teacher loves you

This song makes me cry because it makes me think of my old school and I miss my old school. It reminds me of my old school bc the 4th, 5th, and 6th graders performed this song. 😢😢

Such a beautiful rendition of a classic song and melody, it soothes my soul, puts my heart and mind in a time long gone but, how I love to go there and rest.

He's not dead yet He in somewhere over the rainbow :')

BEST play along I've found for this song so far... the chord chart is everything!! THANK YOU soooo much!!

This is probably the most beautiful song ever composed

For those who want the hard/real strum pattern its pluck the C string DU damp D. It can also be Pluck the C string DU damp uDu

I have to play this song for my 5th grade graduation, so this is SUPER helpful. Best. Video. EVER!!!!!!!!!!

Well, just got my first ukulele today. Was searching for a cool first song to learn and found this. I just wanted to say that this video was amazing. It was extremely easy to follow along. Being able to see all the chords and the lyrics, with a good timing was amazing. Took me about about 20 minutes but I can say that I’ve fully learnt my first song on ukulele :)

Izzy is a great Talent. Grateful to have his music! 💕

I have to perform this on October and this is helping me so much omg

I love the song and his voice.

for music class we have to present a song in ukulele's and i chose this song, and i'm so glad! it's so fun to play!!!

Exellent man with a Beatiful voice, even he is not here with us 🙏

When I was young this song inspired me to get an ukulele

Finally bought a ukelele for the sole purpose of playing this song over and over

Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh Somewhere over the rainbow Way up high And the dreams that you dream of Once in a lullaby Somewhere over the rainbow Bluebirds fly And the dreams that you dream of Dreams really do come true Someday, I wish upon a star Wake up where the clouds are far behind me Where trouble melts like lemon drops High above the chimney top That's where you'll find me Somewhere over the rainbow Bluebirds fly And the dreams that you dare to Oh why, oh why can't I? Well, I see trees of green and red roses too I'll watch them bloom for me and you And I think to myself What a wonderful world Well, I see skies of blue and I see clouds of white And the brightness of day I like the dark And I think to myself what a wonderful world The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky And also on the faces of people passing by I see friends shaking hands saying How do you do? They're really saying I, I love you I hear babies cry and I watch them grow They'll learn much more then we'll know And I think to myself what a wonderful world World Someday I wish upon a star Wake up where the clouds are far behind me Where trouble melts like lemon drops High above the chimney top That's where you'll find me Oh, somewhere over the rainbow Way up high And the dreams that you dare to Why oh, why can't I? Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh

Love This Song, R.I.P. Israel and All My Loved One's 😇 😊🎉❤

After two weeks of getting my Uke in the post - proud to say that I can now play this as this song was my motivation! Love it to bits.. but just cant get the proper strum down! I can do the island strum but not in this tempo.. amazed at how hard it is to just copy a strum beat!

This is the reason I bought a Uk. :)

Me too! It’s on my bucket list for 2024

This is the ABSOLUTELY BEST rainbow learning video I've seen on RU-vid. I'm learning it to play at our next family reunion. Thank you SO MUCH!!

Oh.... yeah.. that's da music I'm talking about!

I need to practice this one for my husband surprise birthday😍. It’s help me a lot .

ill play this right in the next two years

the best video all over YT about how to play this song! Thank you!!!!

Took me one day to learn this! (While following along with tabs of course) I used to dabble on the guitar so I picked up the ukulele pretty quick. 2 weeks and I learned my fav ukulele song, now I have to master singing along👌🏻

am i the only one who can't get the strum right? like when i do the pattern it just.. doesn't come out like that?

I’m playing this with my Orff class on who knows when? This helps me practice because I have a Ukulele at home too!

I love playing along to this! It’s such a helpful play along! This song is lovely to play on the ukulele.

Best uke play along Practice like 3 hrs a day literally

An exquisite rendition of an American classic.

Wonderful!! I'm using this to teach middle/high school students.Thank you!

Just found this - have picked up an Uke after not playing the guitar in years. This was a fun play along - then I realized there was a tutorial so will go to that. Was great playing along with you virtually. Thank you!

This is amazing, perfect, excellent logic to show it this way, forty years ago when I strummed we didn't have this technology, makes it to learn this a childplay this way. Wow. I think I'm too old. I have to sub. Thank you, again.

In the beginning this was really hard to play, but it just takes practice. I used to do it on .5 or sometimes .75 speed, but now I can do it on normal speed. Just practice switching between the chords, and practice strumming, and eventually I gets really easy, and you don't even have to think about it.

Nicely put together Uke Club ! Bravo ! THX ! Yuma,AZ.

Thank you for putting more these songs up I really like playing them I don’t care of my thumb hurts from drumming no strumming too much I still love to play the songs in the notes are so easy it’s the best thank you 😃

this is the best tutorial ive seen on this thank you so much

One of the best channels I found that actually can explain the full song and I can understand thank you sooo much

Wow! Wow! Thank you!!! What a huge gift! This is the easiest follow along on earth! So grateful! This is a real service to beginners who want to share in this beautiful art!

July 31st 2021 Been practicing this song for a month every single day for 5-6 hours, anywhere, anytime in anyway and I finally did it! Full speed no sound !YAYAYAYAYAAY.

This is a truly amazing guide, most videos out on RU-vid have the cords but not the strumming you have it all! Great video!

this is phenomenal! I think the very second chord of the intro is just moving that 3rd fret to the second, instead of the whole G chord, but that is only how I hear it. That little added "next" is pure genius!

Perfect! Just what I needed. So easy to follow. Thank you so much for this!

well i got a ukulele for christmas its my first time and i have to learn this because my parents married with this song ❤ Thank you so much

My fingers are dying after playing this whole thing seriouslyyy quick update these was a comment of mine as a beginner, practice is the keyyy guys good luck 💕 thanks for the likes 🤓

Once I learn the E7 and EM chords, I can start learning this song! Can't wait :D

you guys helped me a lot with the ukulele and i only got mine 3 days ago! Thanks

It goes straight to my heart. That is the most moving song ever.

thanks for these, ive been playing uke for 2 days and can already play this thanks to you and a few of the other great tutorials on youtube!

This is an entire mood. And I love it.

OMG, thank you🧡 I can play this song so good with this video ( love, that I can see on which chord I am now!!🔥) Best Video I've ever seen

I was gifted a ukulele on Christmas 2022. I have learned a few songs but this morning my granddaughter and DIL asked if I could play Somewhere…Rainbow. At 9am I could not. At 6pm I can, not great but close. Thx so much!

I finally did it even though i was a little quick and my strum pattern was off but i did it and it sounded like wonderful, im self thought and I got my ukulele four years ago

Thanks, I'm trying to learn the Ukulele this is realy helping me

THIS IS SO FREAKING COOL!!!!!!😃😃😃😃 What a great way to learn my new instrument! Thank you!

Got a uke today, and this is surprisingly easy with a background in guitar lol

My dad is learning to play the ukulele. This helped him a lot. 😆

For the begginers: just Loop C,G,Am,F but in the intro u need to switch chords fast then in the singing part is where u just a bit slow switch chords

I practiced for my dad and he thought it was so cute

Wish i can play this also one day, thank you for sharing this

I’ve been trying to learn this song watching so many different videos, this is definetly the best!!! Thank you💖💖

Israel was so good.

if its too fast for you, reduce the playback speed to 1.75. it helps 👍🏻

Omg this is amazing. I could learn the chords but struggled so hard to match the words and timing together. Ty for helping me and my sister. You saved us!

Really good! My high school is practicing this song. Your channel is really cool. :D

This video is awesome! I just got my uke today and had no idea what I was doing, but an hour and 30 minutes later and I can actually play the song decently! Albeit slowly of course. 10/10 recommend for beginners!

I like this song OMG I am going to put a like 1 trillion It is easy to play when I was in ukulele class

Wow what a voice. This always makes me happy. Thank you for the lyrics.

i'm learning the lyrics and learning to use a ukulele

My fingers hurt from moving around the strings to much and maybe because I haven’t stopped playing since yesterday when I started playing ukulele. I am very happy that I can play this.

Excelente video. Hace tiempo venía tratando de sacar este tema y con tu vídeo lo logré en minutos. Gracias. Espero más videos así

I just enjoyed your Tutorial, with the chords and singing. Brillant! I just picked up the ukulele and have to unlearn the guitar chords. Thank you so much for teaching me this song. I sang it differently as a child, the other version. I am so happy to know you ! Congratulations on Winning!!!!!

0.75 playback speed is perfect!

I love it is so beautiful and I love this song. I just watched the movie it is so wonderful.

Grandios! Danke, hab viel gelernt.

that was the fastest i have ever learned a song, so easy!!

Haha I remember when Em was hard for me! Practice makes better! (There’s nothing called perfect, or it would be boring!)

I love this song its beautiful, but it makes me sad. My brother is leaving vancouver after 4 years here. He sent me this song. I probably won't see him for 6 years or maybe ever. This makes me cry.
