Imma learn uke. Just bought one. Just signed up for a local class. You are appreciated. Your video is filling me with energy as I begin my Ukelele Journey! Yay medley!!!
Thank you Cory for making these videos for us newbies! Having just 2 or 3 cords to learn chord transitioning is really helpful.
Can we just appreciate that she probably learnt all those songs just for us !!!💖💗💓💖☺️🥰😊
Your tutorials are the best❤️💕
Love your explanations. Thanks for helping us all. ☺️
Thank you so much! As a beginner ukulele player, this was very helpful 😊😊
Thanks for the medley! It gives me a nice place to start!
Thank you Cory for making your tutorial video to help us newbies. Thank you again
Yo, I’m revisiting ukulele cuz I’m lowkey starting to fall for someone... and got dang your tutorials are reallly good. I’m still an amateur (literally), but I’ve been playing around with the Uke for say.... 7yrs, and have been exposed to many YT tuts. Your tutorial is on fire sis. Keep at it!
Thanks so much! (I love the capo on your tuning head)
It was so helpful, thank you so much!!!!!!!!!
Love your videos!!! Thanks for helping me learn ukelele as we spend lots of time in the house this year!!

Thank you so much......you sang very nicely and the songs were very easy :)
You are a fantastic teacher!
Love this! I just subscribed and am so excited about your site! My Uke just arrived and will be getting started so soon! Happy to see your site!! YEAH Thank you for doing this....so much fun just viewing the first 10 songs
Very nice :) I will let you know when i can play a song :) Greetings from Norway
Thank you, Miss Corey! The happy birthday one is perfect cause its almost my birthday, so i can play Happy Birthday at my own birthday at my class! :D
I really appreciate your videos, they have been so helpful. I wish I learnt an instrument in my teens when it was easier to learn new things, but you take your time and explain things in a way where it makes it so much simpler to understand. I don't get so overwhelmed or confused like I do most other tutorials for ukulele. Brilliant teacher 👏
Fun to sing and play along. You have a lovely voice. Good transitioning.
Omg thank you soooooo much this helped me alottttttt
Thank you very much from Japan

Good job Cory! thanks
Hello! The videos where you play songs and you show the chords on the screen and we can play alongside with you are very helpful. We learn easier when you play with the voice and the Ukulele and we can see the chords and lines of the songs and we play together with you. You can play longer parts from a song maybe create separate videos just for us to practice with your help. Thank you very much!
Cory you have a beautiful voice!! Thanks for this video- it's making ukulele so much fun to learn 🙂
Very good thanks for your lovely video
Wow, great tutorial !!! ❤❤❤ I was even able to follow along. 😂
Great video, thanks for making awesome content! That said, even more impressive than the tutorial, is the fact you dropped Happy B-Day without getting hit with a C&D from the big D company. Truly amazing! 😆
I love the video so much !!!
Thank you 👍👍👍
Thank YOU. You are adorable!
Your singing is great!
Love this all you ❤ this music
I think I'll try Let It Be first. I could never really get it on piano when I took lessons, I hope it's easier on ukulele! :)
That was fun
Somewhere over the rainbow by Izzy, the classic Wayfaring Stranger, and Make you feel my love by Adele are a few I want to learn.
Tool!!! , Dankeschön!
Your awesome
thank you ;)
Thanks, it's helping me alot, My mom wanted me to play "summer over the rainbow" I'm not Forcing you but can you make a tutorial for summer over the rainbow?

Your voice is amazing! From Minh Nguyen’s daughter
Cool
"Lava" has simple chords. I'm teaching myself ukulele and starting with that song.
New subscriber on your channel. I love your tutorials especially the easy fingerpicking. May I request if you can do a tutorial for the song 'Fast Car' by Tracy Chapman with easy fingerpicking? Thank you.
❤️

I’ve been playing consistently for about 2.5 years. I am a general music teacher and started playing to teach my students in my class and started making these videos to encourage myself to play more and figured I’d help more people along the way.

ohhh More, give me a strumming pattern as well
It seems to me that your voice does the melody because I don’t think I would know what song you were playing unless you sang along. Is that right?

Yes. The singing is doing the melody and the ukulele is the accompaniment.

Click on the video. Now click on the gear symbol in the corner. Click on playback speed. It will give you several options to slow down or speed up the video. Good luck!
Is there a specific order you need to strum for paying these songs?

I like to tell people how to play the needed chords in the intro and give information at the end. Your welcome to skip those parts if they are not helpful to you. Have a great day.
