First off, woah. Secondly, I just bought my ukulele and you so far have been the best Uke teacher on KZfaq

Hello Bernadette. I'm a 72 year old geezer who acquired my only ukulele on February 8th. I've been working diligently since then and your tutorials are a massive help. But when I came across this "Hallelujah" video about two weeks ago I added it to my daily regimen. I have watched Celtic Woman perform it for a long time. I want to become proficient at it and am pretty good except for the F to G transition. I haven't seen a video specifically on the move but I have slowed that part of the song down, as you recommend in several of your videos, and will get it. Any help you can provide is appreciated. I did subscribe and enjoy your presentations. And Kit Kat, of course. Thank you.

Okay, simply the best Ukelele teacher and video ever. Let's go over why. The video is smartly done. There's no annoying background it's sparse which lets you concentrate on the teacher. One annoying thing about most tutorials is that they don't work out what they want to say so you're flooded with a lot of " uhh" and "uhhh" and " umm" and worst of all repeating what they just said five different ways. Bernadette explains everything like a knowledgeable teacher without blithering her way through it. Her teaching method is fantastic. She doesn't just show you what chords to play but HOW to play them! She shows you what finger to use on each chord explaining WHY(which is invaluable to any person wanting to properly play an instrument) you should use that finger. Her teaching style is great in that she breaks down every sequence of the song, shows the chords, plays through it and then you can play along with her as well. She breaks down each part and goes over it. No part of the video is wasted by stupid meandering where you say to yourself, " GET ON WITH IT!!!" The next part is the blocking of the video. To the right she shows finger tablature of each chord and continues it throughout the video. Forgot how to finger that chord? No problem it's right there!! What chord to play at what point? No problem it's on the bottom of the screen! These are two important tools to help you learn to play better and she has them on the screen! Other videos will have somebody explain the chord and put their fingers on the neck as that's all you need to see. They will also go through what chords to use once and that's it. Can't remember what chords to use or how to play them? Better get a pen and paper and write it down cause you won't see it again in the video. Sadly the style of the video that she does shouldn't be groundbreaking but she knows it and incorporates it all in a way that makes learning much easier than about any tutorial out there. It's obvious that she DOES teach btw. The level of expertise in teaching is there to see. I also like the bit of whimsy in the video with the blue crepe on the head of the Duke. She doesn't explain it nor does she need to( I have a plastic pink pig wedged in between the strings at the head of my bass(I'm a Pink Floyd fan). She just leaves that there as a person that has fun teaching music. Sorry I wrote a book for a comment but it is so very rare to find good, well thought out tutorials on KZfaq on ANY subject and such quality should be noted...and praised. I haven't watched any of her other tutorials yet but I have high hopes( please dont disappoint me Bernadette!!) For anybody out there wanting to make a tutorial about ANYYHING AT ALL this makes for an excellent tutorial on how to make an excellent tutorial. Okay my fingers are hurting from typing so much so I gotta go...peace.

Been playing guitar a long time. Just started with the uke. You are a wonderful teacher. You're making this easy. Thanks.

C(x2) Am(x2) I heard there was a secret chord C(x2) Am(x2) that David played and it pleased the Lord F(x2) G(x2) but you don't really care for music C(x2) G(x2) do you? C(x2) F(x1) G(x1) it goes like this: the fourth, the fifth Am(x2) F(x2) the minor fall, the major lift G(x2) E7(x2) Am(x4) the baffled king composing hallelujah F(x4) Am(x4) hallelujah, hallelujah F(x4) C(x2) G(x2) C(x1) hallelujah, hallelu - u - jah

Je suis du Québec et je parle français et comprends bien l’anglais. Je suis à la retraite à l’adolescence j’ai jouer du piano et du saxophone ténor. J’ai cessé en me disant que je reprendrais la musique à ma retraite. Je vous ai entendu sur KZfaq et vous êtes de loin la meilleure prof. J’ai acheté un UKU il y a 2 jours et grâce à vous j’ai hâte que mes doigts de la main gauche durcissent vite afin que je puisse jouer plus longtemps dans ma journée merci je continue mes leçons

Your “ready go” stole my heart

I followed your tutorial and can’t believe I can play this after 8 days from scratch! Thank you so much. I am still on 30 day uku challenge as a total beginner.

That "reaaADY go" gives me tingles for some reason

I am determined to play that song, Hallelujah ( The Gospel version, LOL ) At Church Christmas. I should be able to go back to Church by then. I will be a lot stronger, & my immune system will be back to where it should be by then. My Son got a treadmill for me, & my Husband got an exercise bike for me. OH BOY! This is going to be fun. I won't be able to move. My muscles will be sore. So I will probably be in bed 2 or 3 days. The perfect time to work at it all day. I'm excited. I have never had someone teach like you do. I guess I must be on your kids level. I Appreciate that. Thank you.

BEST true BEGINNER teaching VIDEO I've seen so far. Breaking it all down and going nice and SLOW, THANKS!!!

100/10 would recommend to anyone. I just learned this super easy to follow guide, under 1hr or so. Love the way chords are shown on-screen, as well!!

I'm a professional musician learning ukulele just for fun. This is a great series of videos. Thank you so much!

I just want to say: thank you! My family will always thanks God for your videos !

SUCH A GREAT TEACHER! Your pace, tone, how you went over each step, kept it simple was awesome!

Finger style with this song is so simple yet so pretty. The blue accessory looks gorgeous with that uke!

The Best Ukelele Teacher in my opinion! Love your lessons. ❤🇬🇧

I've watched hundreds of ukelele tutorials over the years and not one has explained the finger placement, wrist twist and basics this clearly. bravo.

Good to see you stressing the importance of using the correct fingering. It's a point I emphasise with my students.

You're such a wonderful teacher with such a cheery personality! I'm a beginner and I'm learning so much from you! Thanks!

Você é uma ótima professora, pois eu consegui aprender sem nem ao menos falar inglês. Parabéns ❤❤❤❤

I can finally play “My L’manburg” thank you so much :)

For a beginner like me, I find your tutorials very easy to follow. Keep up the good work. Thank you for this, Teacher B! 😘

It has been several years since I was in a classroom but you may very well be my favorite teacher, patient and concerned for her students. Your video design is great with the chords on the right and lyrics or glossary below. It may take several attempts but I think the finger style is worth a try.

I picked up my daughter's ukulele tonight and just decided I wanted to learn to play! You are such an incredible instructor! I tried playing the guitar when I was 10 years old and just couldn't get it. I have thought about it all these years..I am 53..and wished I would have learned. I think the ukulele is better for me! Thank you so much! My first night playing ever and you sure made me feel like I can actually do this!

I wish I watched this video before. The simplest and working tutorial. I can play Ukulele now. Thx a lot.

If I hadn’t found your channel I may never have wanted to play the ukulele. Working my way through the 30 day challenge at the moment but can’t help watching your other lessons. You are a wonderful teacher 😊

Sweetheart...Thank you. I'm a bit disabled and you've enabled me to be both creative and unfortunately still mostly tone deaf. but still having fun. Keep doing what you do.

Thanks a lot from Brazil and from 2024! Love it!

I had given up hope learning to play, until I saw your tutorials. Thank you!

I'm just about to hit my one year mark on playing ukulele. Thank you so much for your tutorials. They've helped me stay motivated to learn more music theory!

This is the best tutorial ever. This was so fun and easy. Thank you so much.

Your fabulous at teaching, I love the way you pronounce ukulele, there is a million things i loves watching you, stay safe, bright and smiling 🧞‍♂️

You are absolutely amazing. 8 months ago I was learning from your newer videos then I got busy with work, now I'm back again and getting same vibes from 8 months ago. Wish we were friends.

Thank you! I got this in two days. Didn’t print your notes but I wrote all the chords down on a piece of paper. It helps me ‘prepare’ for the next chord. Scored points with my Catholic mother-in-law to be playing this on Easter Sunday. Happy Easter, Bernadette! Love from Malaysia (in lockdown) 😘

Love your teaching . I find your videos easy to follow and I really appreciate that you explain it so well .

I love it when you say.. "One two ready go"

THANK YOU COACH!!! (Just flew in from Texas) - Before i left i wanted to show my sister how to play this BEAUTIFUL SONG finger style. I showed her the basic - but referred her to your channel. Struggled with playing this on my guitar. YOU simplified it - and i FINALLY got to play & sing this on my Uke! THANK YOU, thank you, thank you!!! EXCELLENT TUTORIAL❤️❤️❤️. (Wow, just noticed this Hallelujah has over 300,000 views)🎉🎉🎉

I have had this song in my book for months, and this version is soooo much easier and so much less intimidating! THANK YOU 💖💖💖 You r the best! 💖

One of the best ukelele tutorials I’ve watched. 👏🏻

I've played bass for many years but know nothing about chords. I got my daughter got a guitar for Christmas so I signed up for Fender play for her to learn. They had Ukulele lessons included in Fender play so I bought one. After trying the Fender lessons and checking out videos on youtube I find your videos the easiest for learning ukulele.

What a beautiful teacher I can watch and watch this gorgeous girl playing the ukulele and she made everything so ease , thank you very much.

Soy mexicana Gracias a tu bello canal eh aprendido muchísimo Apenas empecé con mi ukelele y eh avanzado muchísimo gracias a ti 💖🙌🏻 Saludos desde Mexico 🇲🇽

I love how differentiated your lessons are! You give choices for people depending on their level - for my experience, I found the chords easy but I'm really new to finger picking. I learned something new about assigning one finger per string! I had to switch to my baritone about halfway through because the soprano is just soooo small for my arm to comfortably position itself to fingerpick. Someday my tenor will come...💙💙💙

If I had to define a good teacher, it's you ...it's not about the subject . . But there are some qualifications other than degree one wants in a teacher ....you've got them all!!! I admire you so much

I am just getting started on the ukulele and by far you are the best teacher on here so thank you so much for your gift of teaching! ❤

Im been honest when i say you got me intrest in the ukelele to the point that I bought one .You have such a comprehensive way to teach. I sincerely love your videos.

Happy Trails, Miss B! This is my MOSTEST favorite piece & one i'll be doing on video for Ukelandia... Newbies, this gal is the VERY BEST online teacher you will find. Her quality is uncomparable; personality compassionate; and very VERY patient. Check out her channel for more indept classes & tutorials. I've been studying under Miss Bernadette for 4 months & I am now an intermediate beginner with a passion for ukulele and our joyful musical community....

You are so right about finger positioning, it really does help with changing chords!! You teach us what to think about while we are playing, as well as how to play better. 💖

You're so gentle and calm, excellent teacher!

Thank you for this amazing tutorial ❤️can you please do one as full finger style for the whole song? I love the way you did the intro in the very beginning of the video 💕you’re such a great teacher!

I had to watch a few hallelujah tutorials before I came across this one and this by far was the easiest to follow along to and understand especially since I just got my first ukulele yesterday!!

So thankful that I stumbled across your channel! This is by far the most clear ukulele tutorial I have seen and you explain things so well! Thank you❤

I want to thank you I got my ukelele on Christmas and you and your video has helped me Learn my first song. Thank you

Very good tutorial!i love how you tell us how to finger the chords and why we need to do it correctly. I’m very new so I want to get good habit patterns. Thank you!

Hi!! I love this tutorial and just wanted to say that a strum pattern I love to use for this song is DDUU with an emphasis on the middle two so it sounds more like D DU U when you play it. Such a great tutorial 💕💕

Ich mag deine Art und weise Griffe und Anschlagtechnik vorzuführen. Du bist eine gute Lehrerin. God Bless you and your Work.

An excellent tutorial, thank you so much. I've just bought a ukulele at 70 years old and am looking forward to learning this. 🙏🙏🤔🙄🇬🇧

Thank you, thank you! I am 72 years young, got my first ukulele 2 days ago and am slowly playing it. What kind of ukulele are you playing, it’s so clear sounding.

This was a well-focused tutorial. Thank you.

I learned very quickly with your illustration, thank you

I love your tutorials and it's even better that you are so pretty.

I love the flowers on the headstock of your uke soooooo beautiful! Just like you 😜😍😘xxxx

Beautiful tutorials Bernadette ❤️ I am giving my niece a ukulele for her 7th year birthday, showing her some songs, as we are in a band together ´Poison in a Bottle´ she picked the name, I love it :) Your tutorial will help her and me to find our ukulele wings. Much love and thanks to you.

I learned in half a hour thank you so much I love music

You're an excellent teacher. And beautiful.

Wow you are an amazing teacher!

The fingerstyle really does sound beautiful :)

Your way is the better to learn this pretty song! Thanks ber!

The Voice, just oh my God. Shes an angel

"pivot the hand inwards" PIVOT! PIVOT! PIVOOOOOOT!

I love this song so much! It makes me cry every time I hear it. Thank you for doing a tutorial on it ❤️ And your angelic voice is very fit for the song! I couldn't practice along rightaway now but I definitely sang along the whole time (although an octave lower 😅)

2 years ago wow 😲 nice tutorial remember that one

I would just like to Thank You, for your online classes. I love the way you teach. I have only been playing the Ukulele for the past 3 weeks, and I love it so very much. I had a serious life changing riding accident in 2003, which has left me disabled, but not unable. Here in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 we are still having massive issues with the COVID-19 virus, with the lockdown and all the restrictions, I can not find a better time to learn to play an instrument, and I have chosen the Ukulele. I am having a few problems with the one beat notes and changing so quickly, like when you go from E7 to F then G, I might of got that order of notes wrong there, but you know what I mean. I practice and practice everyday, like everything with me, I am slow in getting there, but I will not give up until I get it right. I think you are an amazing teacher and I am going to stick with your lessons. I see this Hallelujah was posted a couple of years ago. Are you still posting new stuff here on KZfaq? I do hope so, if not, do you have your own website? Once again, Thank You. Kindest of Regards Sarah E Bowker😊

i met dear Leonard back late 70s, just bought my tootsie daughter a concert uke and by the lord above guess what her 1st attempt will be ? XXXXXXXXXXXX John.

Hi guys, found the answer in another video 😉 For the F/G "the 4th, the 5th"... You play GCE on the F, and AEC on the G. Hard to do at first but after practice, it's really nice 😁

You are so good teaching.Thank you it's the best tutorial

Thanks Bernadette. I was having real trouble going from C to G. Your vids have sorted me out. I am a teacher too, and trying to show my students what it is like to be in the Learning Pit, so am learning to play the uke - something I have stayed away from for years.

ハレルヤ！ありがとうございます すてきな　歌ですね

ahh i loved this! i’m very new to ukulele (i play viola though) and this was so helpful. well done!

Where have you been all my life? You are such an easy teacher to learn from.

Great tutorial, very helpful break up of the different parts. Thank you!

Graaacias:') tu manera de enseñar es súper sencilla, Saludos desde Perú!! Eres bonitaaaaaaaa >w

Much easier version than the previous one I learned in the key of G using Em and B 😁 thanks Bernadette!

Thank you , love your teaching , you are so pretty and sang well too ,

I only started playing the ukulele and your tutorials for are the best

I love your videos♥ You really help me♥ thank you 💖

I have about 30 songs in my to do list ( songs need to record & cover) and this song is on my to do list 😃😃😃. I love Jeff Buckley’s version of this. Bon Jovi also did a cover of this. Whenever I do covers, I mostly wait for the right time or day that I really feel doing that song, so that I can perform it with emotions😊.Again, thank you for this tutorial Ms. B👌. I promise you will see me cover this 😁. By the way , I always play this in my Low g uke, it also sounds great 👍.✌🏻&❤️

Thank u. You look like a nice person. No condescension in your lesson... Just kindness and sweet goodwill. It just feels good.

Great ukulele teacher! Honestly, I'd watch her do a tutorial on folding socks though. Gorgeous!

I'd love to see a version of the finger picking style! I can't seem to get the sound right

Thank you Ms.B. This is a beautiful song. So simple and sweet yet so deep. Can play this for hours.(now I know how) Sounds great on the ukulele. Wow, you are a dedicated teacher, flying home to produce a ten minute video between tea a cakes with Kevin. Ha ha. Will you be making a duet video with Kevin wearing your lovely Sari? Such a thoughtful gift! Happy trails.

You are a wonderful teacher. Thanks a lot!

I'm from the Czech Republic and thank you very much for your video. I'm learning the ukulele and I need videos like that. Thank you.

So beautiful, and a clear tutorial that makes me want to play this. 💗Added it to my list. Thanks!👍

I love this... you really inspire me to keep going, and practice harder, even if my Uke is not a very good one. much love!! ❤❤

Love this no matter how many times I play

This was extremely useful and easy to follow along with, even if i cheated and just used my thumb for part of the fingerpicking
