Remember: my song tutorials are not meant to be mastered in one sitting. They are meant to be practiced every day until you see progress. Every song you learn makes you better at ukuleles.

Special thanks to Yisha Liu for requesting an easy tutorial for Twinkle, Twinkle Litte Star. I thought it was a fantastic idea!

I have only had my ukulele 3 days. Can’t tell you how many times I have watched this video. Love how you explain fingering. My only experience is I play a dulcimer. I’m 71 years old. Never too old to learn. Thanks!

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

I'm very new to the ukulele and I find your teaching style very easy to follow. I love that you repeat the chord progressions. You teach without making me feel like a doofus. Thank you! (I'm 63 and am just learning)

[lisaramos]

This just made my day! I sing this song to my kids every night. I’m still very new to learning and these are the few chords I know. I can’t wait to master it and play it for them 😊 thank you!

[brucythercd]

Thank you so much! My mother gave me a ukulele for Christmas. This is the #1 song I want to learn. I used to sing it to my beautiful doberman, Andy, who passed away in 2015. On that same fateful day, my current dog, Persey, a miniature a bull terrier, was born. Therefore, August 13th is a very bittersweet day. I plan to sing this to my Mother and Persey, because they are my current sunshine, and also in memory of Andy 🌈 🐾, who will always be my sunshine. What a beautiful person you are, inside and out. Thank you for your for sharing your wonderful talent. You have a lovely voice. 💜 🤗 🎶

My grandma has wanted me to play this song for 2 years but, I just never wanted to try because I thought it was going to be too hard. I showed her and her face let up with tears of joy and a bright face. I love how easy you make this seem.

This is one of the few songs that my son (19 mos old) loves for me to sing... it calms him down no matter what. I can't wait to learn this and then sing it to him!! Great tutorial, I appreciate it!
