By coincidence I found my missing tuner today, I put it on my dogs tail and found out he barks in Bflat 🐕 Don't try this at home because when he wagged his tail the tuner flew off and broke !

Tuning is always the hardest thing to figure out right away 😂🙈

Hi, I have been following your ukulele lessons and have decided to take up the 30 day challenge. My hubby bought me my first ukulele for my 50th so here goes. I like your calm, gentle manner so thank you for sharing your skills and knowledge.

'Hartelijk dank' (cor-di-al thanks!) dear Bernadette! Both you and your teachings bring a Big Smile to both my instrument ;) and I. Bless your kind heart for doing this with such professionalism and enthusiasm - you are dearly loved.

Ah. a tuning video.
Quite a tricky one to teach, but you did a great job :)

This helps SO much! Mine went out of tune really badly, but know its back into tune! So many thanks, God bless!

This helped my son tune his new ukulele that he just got as a gift. You really made it east to understand in a way that the other videos we tried, did not. Thank you so much!

Thank you SO SO much for making this video! I just got my ukulele yesterday and am using the same tuner that you are. I kept tuning the strings until it hit the green light, but whenever I began to practice certain notes, I noticed that the ukulele still sounded like it was out of tune. I thought, “I just tuned it. Maybe it’s supposed to sound like this”. I then went on youtube to find a song that I have been wanting to practice and noticed that my ukulele sounded much different than the person teaching the song. Luckily, I stumbled across this video and realized that my F# string wasn’t actually supposed to sound like that, and instead, be tuned to a G note. Thank you again for making this video. Now my ukulele is ready to play with the correct notes!

I’m in Poland for a year so I decided to buy a ukulele and learn today. You’re my first video and Mahalos for teaching me how to tune with success. Bringing shakas to Poland!

Good morning from Southern California! I just got a ukulele a few days ago and stumbled upon your channel the day before. Let me tell you, I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU! I'm a 3rd grade teacher and your videos are clear, precise, and easy to follow! You don't go off tangent when explaining your lessons and I appreciate that. I am on Day 7 now and I can't wait to finish my 30 day challenge. Also, YOU ARE GORGEOUS and I love listening to your voice.

I should probably really get a clip-on tuner 🤔

The fact that you started the "musical alphabet" with A was so counter-intuitive for me (even though it clearly made the most sense here) because I always only learned it through piano keys starting at C 😅
Also, did you know that the note B is called H in German? It was very confusing when I started learning music in English because in German B-flat is called B. So this alphabet wouldn't even work in German 😱

This is the go-to video for first time stringed instrument players.
Right on Ms.B. I just got a clip on tuner awhile back and it helps so much over the phone app. This is a great step by step tutorial. Yeah I've done that~turning the C tuner wondering why the G didn't change sound. Ahh, the press, stretch, pull technique. When I make my first ever string change this is the Ms.B method I shall use, Thanks. Seeing the subtitles was helpful. When you said reviewing helps plant the knowledge, it did. May sound weird yet I'm looking forward to changing strings to try this technique. Glad I got the notification to "tune" into this nugget of knowledge. Happy day Ms.B.
