2020: the year I start thinking about using the E chord 😂(maybe) 😁

I love how she always says “look up” and I actually look up like she’s my teacher right in front of me and then I’m like oh wait I’m watching a YouTube video

[rickwilmot]

Magic, thank you! My arthritic fingers are a real nuisance, but I'm persevering. I'm only 80 years old! :-))

The very first time I ever strummed a D chord it changed my life. I loved how sweet and inviting it sounded, it felt like it was giving me a sonic hug. I love all 20 of these chords. Thanks for empowering so many people with music!

The fact that you told me to look up exactly when I would look down baffles me 😭😂

[tinytuzi]

I love how to tell us to look up. It’s really helpful.

‘Look up’ makes me laugh every time! Great instruction as always. I’ve been playing uke for 2.5 years and avoided Bb with all my might lol. I finally conquered it out of necessity but it took hours of practice to do so.

[maltanikolic]

I like how she knows when I'm looking down then goes "look up" it happended multiple times and also you give me the best vibes. I would like you to be my teacher rather then someone else who makes ukulele tutorials on youtube

[junevang-sitcler]

I got my ukulele two days ago, and have learned almost all of the cords in this video from watching. Thank you so much.

I just started playing Uke at Christmas when I bought it. I am 58 years old, it's hard on my hands but I love it and love your videos. Love the "look up" also :)

[maybeeeeeeeeeeev]

I love how she teaches and encourages her viewers at hard chords

[KieranGullon]

I swapped to ukulele after a skateboarding injury limited my motion a lot and I almost quit because even after a few years it still feels like a lot of strain. Seeing the struggle you go through makes me realize maybe its not as much of a limit as ive been thinking. It helped me heal this far maybe its time to push it i can get all these chords if i push through the pain and maybe ill gain some movementback. Keep up the positivity

[ushmaasher]

"Look up" is soooo helpful!
I get caught up trying to figure things out on my own & its really nice to be reminded that there's a teacher in front of you!

[isabellachemim]

the way she says look up is so helpful and it feels like I'm not watching her through a screen. Something about her makes me feel so comfortable the ways she waits it so weird but cool at the same time, Thank youu

[jaredvanderberg]

Your teaching skills are amazing. I really do feel involved even through a video. When you said "look up" I was like 😳

[Shuborno]

This is one of the most useful videos ever! I just came home from a jam with a bunch of guitarists, and I wish I had done this lesson first. Year 2 for me, it's about time to memorize these.

[randompersn]

16 years old, just got back from a camping trip where I
learned that 5 people in my friend group know or are learning ukulele so I was inspired 😅

[MakerOfChase]

You are the most incredible teacher I've found online. your style is so immersive, I'm sure you really can see me hardcore concentrating when you say 'look up' because I'm clearly sitting across from you on the couch 😂😂

[tinynhhouse]

Thank you so much for this video, Bernadette. I am retiring at the end of January (14 working days left!) and my goals are to improve my beginner uke skills by playing for 30 - 40 minutes every day, learn Spanish, studying 45 - 60 minutes each day, and walk for 1 hour each day. My retirement resolutions!!! God bless! - Dave
