"Using Music as a vehicle for awareness", that's so great Stew ! Blessings from eastern France !
Quite lovely ! Wish the sound wasn’t so (hall) boomy . I experience the same in uploading my performances. Excellent interpretation as well ! Made my morning .! 🌹
Tasty, now I am hooked ❤🎉😂
Fantastic! Thank you so much for teaching this beautiful song! This was always one of my favorite Beatles songs but hearing you play it, the notes really pop! You are so talented! I am practicing this with you every night and am really making great progress! I was wondering are you playing a baritone, concert or tenor? Your sound is amazing! ❤❤❤❤
Bet this dude is a blast to have a drink with. 👍
Just started learning ukulele and fingerstyle, so learning the different patterns has been a fun struggle. I think that sums up music in general: a fun struggle.
Thank you so much for the tutorials. Could you do a tutorial on taping harmonics? ❤❤❤
Amaaazing thnx
I enjoy your tutorials!! Thank you so much. I’ve learned a lot from you. Could you please do a tutorial Feel like making love by Roberta Flake??🙏❤️🙂
CHUR..!
That was awesome
Great lesson
Awesome lesson!! Made it all the way to the end! I love the variability of playing 3/4 with these nuances such as the muting... Adds a whole new dimension... Thanks Stu!
I’m a guitar guy but bought a Ukulele for my granddaughter (4 Years old) so naturally had to get one for myself to teach her with. Haven’t picked up my guitar lately! Learning pretty quickly and this is a great one! Thanks. Question is she is leaning left handed but I want her to learn right handed since there’s so many more options. Thoughts?
Very good!
i am hooked to this, Love how you are enjoying this, really Zen moments.
Muchas gracias! Genial tu video! Saludos desde Buenos Aires!
Here I am again. I can't believe I'm doing this, Stu. My 1st gig is the 17th. ~ Mary 🌺

What a nice song for ukulele. Thank you for all you do for newer ukulele lovers. PS the genius of Dylan songs never ceases to amaze me. Simple, beautiful and meaningful.
My pleasure! And I agreenwith you about Dylan 100%!
Caught up with this on Monday. Really good, you are such a good teacher. Many thanks. I couldn’t play this if not for you!
Very nice! Thanks for joining in! I wouldn't be here if not for you! :-D
Outstanding
Stu - A quick question: will you go into this song in more detail for the $5 and $10 Patreon members this month like you did for "My Favorite Things" in July? Thanks for the wonderful lesson. To those who are not Patreon members - I am glad I am a member (worth every penny and more!)
Yes, absolutely Vincent. Very often the bonus content will support the "first Sunday livestream" to create a monthly theme. What aspects of this song would you like to expand upon?
@@UkuleleZen Stu - You did a masterful job of developing the melody line of "My Favorite Things", then tied that to the harmony/chords. Perhaps follow that same format with "If Not For You"; and, also work through the chord melody? That is asking a lot for the bonus content classes. Wish I could give more input for you, perhaps other viewers could add to this? Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.
Can you go back to your old undyed and unpermed hair it looked so much better
LOL! You think my hair is colored and permed? Nah, I just have curly hair :-) it will take a LONG time for it to grow back to where it was Thanks for watching....happy jamming :-)
Stu, very classy arrangement on Ukulele. Hats off to you even you wanted to teach us how to slide with a kazoo.
LOL Thanks Maria! More extra musical effects to come :-D
Love it! Thanks so much!
You are so welcome! Thanks for joining in!
not clear which of your fingers are fretting, hovering, or muting.
Great lesson!! Thanks so much!
Thanks so much!

OMG. It's meant to be. Hi Stu! It's Mary, Ukulele Butterfly 🦋 I just got my 1st paying Ukulele gig at The Hilton. I'm part of a reggae trio. Of course I turn to you to study. And this is the song on your homepage! Reggae is not my usual. With God's help and your teaching, I expect great things! You'll be seeing me around!!! ✌️❤️ ~ Mary 🌺
Wow, congrats on your first paid gig!! AWESOME!! Blessing and love to you Mary!
@UkuleleZen Thanks, Stu! 😊 It's pretty exciting! ~ Mary 🌺
This is brilliant thanks so much 😊
You’re SO welcome 😊
Waltz in 3/4 time
Yes indeed!
Thanks Stu, for this lesson, its really fun to play this. Also that D chord improvization is great to know. Now the songs can sound much better.
You're very welcome! Thanks for watching and joining in with your music making!!
Nice👍🏻
Thank you!
Ciao,mi dai le note? Grazie
Check the link in the description :-)
I really love your teaching style, so my only frustration is: I am on a baritone uke, so translating fingering, especially with techniques not on bar chords, can be a real wringer. But I still get a lot out of your lessons. ❤
You can do it! I do hear you on the confusion with different tunings…
