A fix for people with small hands struggling to play ukulele chords

[chrissiewalker]

I think you have changed my life, increased my options and presented me with future success. My ukulele will now never be covered by dust. I thank you. ;-) x

Omg tha k you so much! I'm a beginner and I've been struggling with finger placement/movement and I think this may be the reason why

[emootaku]

I literally can not thank you enough for teaching me this!! I literally was about to just give up learning!!

[leirawhitehart]

I just started my journey of learning, and I realized my hands were too small, and it was really hurting to play (my fingers started cramping), and so I figured there must be a better way to do it for people with smaller hands, so thank you so much, this is a great tip that will greatly improve my learning! ^^

OMG! This was exactly the video I needed! I was really struggling with B and G chords and I was getting so discouraged. I moved my thumb and the problem was solved! Thank you!❤

I have a disability that makes my hands very weak, so I have to hold the uke the “wrong” way in order to be able to press the strings hard enough. Luckily, I have very long fingers. 🤪😂

Thank you so much, this has allowed me to progress so well practicing from home

[elmhmd]

[homebase]

That is great Bernadette!! ... Many people don't realize this fact!!❤️

U can use your thumb to bar the 3 strings from the top and middle finger on the first strng of second fret

[ChiaraOdessa]

thank you Bernadette! the best uke teacher ever. I also want you to know that you inspire me to keep going forward with your shorts and long lessons especially when I am seating in my bathroom during the air raid alert. I am from Ukraine, and there is a war here... so thank you once again. p.s. I always wonder 'how does she know it's time to say look look look'?!? 😂 p.p.s. you are increadably beautiful, god bless you and your family.

I give up on guitar because my fingers is small, didn't know this simple thing exist

[hubtubby]

Yes! I couldn't believe it when someone told me the ukulele was too much of a stretch.

[lucysnowe]

OMG. Genius. Adult female with small hands here! I was in despair over that E chord. I will give this a try!

[ferhatplus]

The problem is not that my hand cant reach, my fingers are too fat to fit those tiny bars. Great video tho :)

[JonyMarcelo-yoes]

When i first time do F chord in acoustic i can't reach the Strings like💀 but now i got used to it and i can do bar chords 👌🏾

[EliThePigeon]

It kinda sucks how even after watching this there are still some chords I can't do cause my hands are so small

[Tonknado]

How do you keep the uke stable when your thumb is at the back? The cradle supports the uke and stops it moving when changing chords. I'm really struggling with this. Please help?

Thank you so much for that tip. I appreciate you!😻💓
