4 Chords 15 Songs! TUTORIAL | Lindsey's Uke

*** The use of the word "Beats" is used incorrectly in this video. Please substitute my use of beats for "Measure". *** All of these songs contain 4 beats per measure, but some songs change chords every one to two measures. In other words, one measure would be one complete strumming pattern (down down up up down up). I apologize for the mix up and any inconvenience

The point of this video is to show you how many songs you play with just a few chords (in the same pattern) mix it up a little an you have many more!

You hear a song that you liked? Most of the songs continue with the same chord progression for if you wanted to learn the whole song!

Hope you enjoy this Ukulele Tutorial! It uses only 4 easy chords and shows the many songs you can play!

[danielskender]

How the hell can u dislike this... its soo clear and easy for (what seems like it would be all) beginners. I't probably a lot easier 4 me bc I play guitar but I still cant imagine anything as good that is clear and easy to learn.

[Lucyandcaroline]

Who else is here In 2020 trying to learn uke

[eclipsesleeps]

When I heard your voice I fell out of my chair because it was so

[hendrixybeethoven]

This was such a day brightener. My dads a classical guitar teacher at a local university, and ive always followed his very strict instruction. The light heartedness of this and your smile while playing reminds me of why i love playing music. Its just meant to fun.

[knitonepugtwo]

I've watched dozens of ukulele tutorials but this one taught me more about music than anything I've ever seen.

[privateislandice]

Picked up my uke today and went looking for some help to play it and yours was the first video I tried. It was a great start! A four year old video, amd you are still helping people begin their journey.

[emilysierra]

I’m the only one struggling to strum and change cords...


Ok...
Edit: thanks guys for the likes I’m happy to see I’m not alone 😌

Lindsey,
I am a music teacher and I have my students play along to this video when they are finally introduced to a minor. It is wonderfully done and I thank you very much. I chose your video because your vocal model (singing voice) is outstanding.
However, you use some music terminology incorrectly, I would love it if you would re-record it use the right terms. In this video you use the word "beats" when you mean "measures" or "bars."
A measure is a group of accented and unaccented beats. These songs are all in 4, so there are four beats in each group or measure/bar. Think of the bar/measure as one complete strumming pattern (down, down up, up down up). Some of these songs change only every two bars, or two complete strumming patterns. Note that bar is different than barre (fretting multiple strings at once).
Beat means the steady pulse in music. These songs are typically about 136-144 beats per minute. Most of these songs change chords every four beats, or every one bar.
