I bought a ukulele yesterday in as attempt to beat the coronavirus lockdown boredom. I've been on youtube all day trying different 'beginner' tutorials and yours is by far the best. No complicated language, very clear and concise direction, and your voice is super gentle and patient somehow! Thanks so much. I watched and played along three times and by the third I was able to go through without any mistakes.

I am such an amateur and have seen so many videos but could not play anything decently until now, your whole lesson just brings everything together full circle. You're an amazing teacher - Thank you!!

Thank you so much! My mum just bought a ukulele today and this was the best tutorial yet, good steps, no “big ukulele” words and i love the way you sing the song. All I need to learn now is “F”. Again thank you for this tutorial.

I just got a ukelele I rushed home and I found this tutorial I learned it quickly! you have ab amazing teaching method

I hope you're teaching kids somewhere. Perfect lesson young lady. I'm retire music teacher of 35 years. PK-12 and SpE. After retirement, I went into using my same skills with adult mental heath patients. Same song- second verse. 😊😊😊 They love it. I used you as the fun introduction. I'm the grumpy old drill master. You made this old music teacher long fir my good old days. Thank You for your sunshine.❤😊

Great to see a professional music teacher teaching ukulele. You KNOW how to teach in a slow, very understandable way so that I can teach it myself. Thank you. Please teach some more familiar songs for elementary students.

This is my parents favorite song ever since. So I’m trying to show them to make them so happy! Thumbs up!!!!!!

You encouraged my wife and got her excited about learning ukulele. She never had a background in music whereas my daughter and I did. Well, my daughter gave us a ukulele, and I bought our son a trumpet. So while we were in the music store picking up valve oil for my son and trombone slide cream for myself, she asked Charlie Daniels about trumpet lessons while I talked with a tech about doing a better setup for my old 12 string guitars, a martin I had been using as a 6 string and a Goya. I missed music and pulled out my trombone and today I found your tutorials and showed them to my wife. After she started picking up four very basic chords, I grabbed my Martin and slowly and quietly played along with her to encourage her and she loved it. We still have my mom’s piano and violin and my brother’s and my synths. So we’re getting encouraged. I was once a musician but was afraid going professional would be hard on family life, so professionally I ended up a math/computer/IT/AI professional and some friends were disappointed and a little mad at me, and many continued to see me as a trombone player. At church, I backed away preferring to sing with the guitar and for a bit I led the choir until a close friend and singer, my prayer partner suddenly passed away. We took care of my little brother, Mom, and Dad during their last days and lost another close friend to Covid and studied AI intensely for a few years. We need to enjoy life and do a little music again. Thank you for the tutorial.

Dear Stephanie, thank you so much. I just got my Ukelele a week back and your videos is helping me so so much to learn songs so easily!!!... Thank you. Finding your channel is what brought me and my Ukelele closer!

This world would be a much better place if we had more angels like you. Thank you for posting :)

OMG!!! You covered everything a begginers needs to know to start on ukelele! BLESSINGS you are the ideal music professor

THANK YOU! Finally the first ukulele tutorial that actually makes sense and breaks everything down far enough for me as a beginner. All the other ones I looked at were so confusing and complicated, even though they were labeled "beginner," it was so discouraging I nearly gave up.

I have been learning to play this for my son with the uke I got him for his birthday last month and we've been watching and playing along with your video every night this week. thank you for being so helpful and adorable!

Why does it feels like mom is teaching me? I miss her

Oh, wow, I'm watching this a few days before I get my ukulele so I can find something good and this looks fairly simple! I think my s/o will appreciate this since this is one of his favorite songs I sing for him :)

You are my sunshine is a fav of mine, my siblings (7 of them) sang this song to our precious father 16 years ago when he was leaving his earthly body and entering Heaven! Thank you for your smile too! God bless you and your students everywhere!😊

That was so much fun. I've been just going from this chord to that cord never really doing a song. This gave me a much needed boost. Thanks.

love your positivity!! AND this song was in a songbook that I already had, but with different (and more difficult)chords, now I can plaY AND sing in this key!! thanks so much!!

It's really hard to replace the G7 chord. The other option would be G, which I think is harder. I'd suggest just taking it super slow. If I'm going too fast in the video you can actually slow down the speed. It's normal to find this challenging, but it will get easier. Just do it very slowly for a few minutes, every day.
