you prolly dont give a shit but does anybody know of a trick to log back into an instagram account..? I stupidly forgot the login password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me.

More of these!!! This is just what I'm needing, as a NOVICE, past beginner, but not intermediate at all. 1. A warm-up routine where I can see progress over time; 2. practice with strums, chucks, 2 finger-picking, and some novice chords. Really, there is a big missing space for NOVICE ukulele tutorials on youtube... Thank you...

Kitkat singing along is the cutest thing haha :)

Hi B! I’ve been watching your videos and yes, I’m still a beginner beginner (picked up an uke for the very first time). I’ve been going to uke lessons for over a month now and still working on some challenges with switching chords in the middle of strumming. Learning new chords and adding them to the routine are also something I’m trying to improve. I found your total beginner video is the best for a beginner beginner like me. My daily practice isn’t as extensive as this warm-up. I wish I had found this video sooner. Though I truly appreciate this video as I’m going to watch it everyday and incorporate it to my practice. Mahalo nui 🙏🏼

Greetings From Australia,Love Your Stuff.Many Thanks.

I’ve added this to my daily practice and it’s really helping me improve in all those areas: picking, strumming, chucking and chord changes. Thank you!

These warm up techniques came so natural for me! So I spend 5 minutes of my daily practice doing these before launching into songs. Im making my way through the 30 day Uke challenge and I bought a concert Alvarez Ukulele! Learning the Uke has been a professional and personal development for me, as I teach preschool and it’s been therapy for me! Thank you Bernadette! You’re a fabulous teacher!

From now on i will my practice watching this video before playing anything!

@@BernadetteTeachesMusic Hi Bernadette, It's now been over a month since I added the blues progression to my daily practice. Wow! what a difference in my playing, especially with chord changes with more complicated strumming patterns. I recently completed your 30-day Uke Challenge (I started it on June 9, 2019) and am I now playing independently, working on barre chords and have learned 3 songs: Imagine, Have you ever seen the rain, and Stand by me. When I started playing in June 2019, I never thought I would be able to play as well as I am at this point. I still have a long way to go but I love playing and learning. It's one of the highlights of my day, everyday! Thank you Bernadette! I couldn't have done it without you!

Hey Bernadette. Great work !!!

Thanks I really like the way you teach

I'm struggling with fingerpicking because I don't think fast enough…..But I am practicing Here Comes the Sun which is such an awesome song. And easy, but I'm not doing the right fingerpicking style......arg. But Bernadette sez, do this for a week and you'll get better.....I believe it!

You're very good at what you do and are very quick. This can be difficult for a new learner like myself to embrace and follow along with. While the information is great, I wasn't inclined to continue watching once I wasn't able to keep up with you. It may be helpful if you showed the processes at a slower pace. Again, great reference videos!
