Thanks for posting this Cynthia! I just had just added this to my "songs to learn" list a couple of days ago and then I see this video pop up today! So much more fun to play with you and your class. Keep up the great work!

Oh man what I wouldn't give for a video breaking down how to go from the split cord to the island strum and back.

When I first started this January I couldn't do the island strum and sing at the same time. Now I can

Love it!!! This is one of the greatest island songs of all time.

Wow, this seems long ago! Cynthia used this song in this class to teach vocal harmonies.
Our ukulele group is still working on Island Style having just recently added a picking intro and an instrumental chorus -- the fun never ends! Aloha everyone!
