Thank You Abigail for this Easy Version!

this is an amazing tutorial, thank you so much!!! The other ones I watched were really hard to play, yours was so helpful I'm already playing half of the song!

So glad I found you...I was trying to learn this song with my ukelele and yours is simply perfect.I will keep trying an intermediate level tutorial for this song but this made it possible to just enjoy and sing along ...got a new suscriber then.

Love it! Thank you for this easier version. 😊

You have a lovely voice & way of teaching. Love that song. Thanks

Thanks for this version!

I love the way you teach! You teach the way I learn. You break it down into parts and pieces at an excellent pace. The chord picture matching what you’re doing is helpful. The length of your videos are spot on. You have a natural teaching talent. I’ve subscribed and have checked off the ‘receive all notifications’ button which is a first for me. Thank you so much! Fortunate to have found you on the ‘information superhighway’.

Subscribed. Love this song. Thank you

I’m really happy that I found this tutorial. I have been trying to learn this song but the version I was using had bar chords which I can’t play yet I’ve always loved this song sung by the mamas and papas so it’s perfect for me. Thanks so much for this beautiful tutorial.. I’m a new subscriber and I will definitely check out your other tutorials.

Thank you so much! Lovely voice, great tutorial pacing, beautiful chord choices, and I appreciate the nerd talk at the end! New sub!

Thank you for this very structured easy to follow tutorial. Your voice is amaazing! You should consider playing the full song in the end :)

Thank you! This was always a difficult song to play but you’ve made me so much easier. Really appreciate it.

You’re so welcome! The Ab7 is totally a challenge, but I love that you used the word “committing”’! With a little bit of practice every day (or most days), I am confident you can learn that chord and so many others. Don’t get discouraged if it takes longer than you think it should-that’s totally normal! Just take a break, play something that is easy and fun for you, and then come back to your practice the next day.

I found your chord list in the description, took a screenshot and edited it until the lettering was larger (aging eyeballs) and took a whack at it. got the progression down right away but can’t sing it in that key (too high for my croaky frog voice). but no worries. I have a tenor guitar in “Chicago tuning,” (essentially baritone ukulele tuning.) so I just played the shapes y’all are using and voilá, it’s in G, which my voice gets along nicely with. also I’ve had my tenor guitar for about a decade and haven’t played it in front of an audience. I’ll be fixing that situation in the next couple weeks. thanks!

Fabulous! Yes I often struggle with choosing keys because my voice is higher than most women (and certainly higher than most men hah!), but the switch between baritone (which is actually my main instrument) and concert can be very helpful, as you described. Same with a capo-sometimes you just gotta slap one on and find the key that works lol! I hope to get a tenor guitar one day.

@howlinhobbit

9 ай бұрын

my curiosity is pinged. are you going to tune in standard tenor guitar tuning and learn the new shapes? I can see pros and cons with that, which is why I opted to treat mine like an oversized, steel stringed, baritone ukulele. don’t have room in the old brain to stuff a bunch of new chord shapes. 😟

@AbigailFlowersMusic

9 ай бұрын

@howlinhobbit oh I would definitely need to tune like baritone! I have a toddler now and my brain also doesn’t have room for anything new 😂 it’ll probably be a few years before I get my hands on one but I’d definitely like to be able to switch seamlessly between guitar and baritone when I do!

Thanks so much Abigail. So glad I found you. I'm a beginner who started at beginning of Lockdown. This version is great for me and has it challenges. Is it just a simple down down strum? Best wishes.

Thank you so much! So glad you’ve found your way to Uke-ive found it to be therapeutic through all the isolation! As far as strums, I tend to say “play whatever feels natural” as I think that’s what will sound best. But I think what I used in this version was D Du uDu... I have a play along video of this song (the link is in the description I think?) where it may be easier to hear what I’m talking about!

@AbigailFlowersMusic

4 жыл бұрын

Thank you so much for watching! I use my right pointer finger to strum, but some people prefer thumb or a pick! As for the actual rhythm, I always recommend starting really simple! That may mean one strum per beat, or it may mean one strum per chord! Then add a little bit as you get more comfortable, until eventually it feels natural. But that can take a long time to develop, so just keep practicing songs you love!

@AbigailFlowersMusic

Oh also the pattern itself is D DU D DU with a “swing” feel, so it’s bouncy/the DU strums aren’t perfectly evenly divided. If it’s helpful, you can watch the video slowed down by clicking the gear icon and adjusting playback speed!
