I searched high and low to find how to play this song the original way and for someone to explain it so I could get it. Thank you for being that person! Loved this tutorial!

@lorrainestern8160 8 жыл бұрын

I have watched many ukulele tutorials and yours are with out doubt the most comprehensive and easy to understand, that I have seen.......thank you

@banethaliafiord7886 8 жыл бұрын

remember to be realistic - you'll have to do a bit of work whichever method you use for learning to play the uke I've been researching into teaching yourself uke and found an awesome resource at Arthurs Uke Blog (check it out on google)

Of all the tutorial channel I watched on KZfaq, yours is the most easy to follow; and not only do I love your lessons, I am big on your voice too. It's so calming and soothing. Thank you Cynthia for doing what you are doing

Cynthia you so marvelously break down your tutorials and give me -a total beginner- hope that one day I may be able to play this beautiful song. Thank you for your tips and step by step guides and for sharing aloha with the world =)

@joshuagreen5010 7 жыл бұрын

I agree with everyone that you are a gifted teacher who makes difficult and complex playing accessible even to relative beginners. I have loved this song ever since of course watching Breakfast at Tiffany's. Never thought I would be able to play it one day. Wonder if you could do a tutorial one day on how you extract the chords and strum patterns from a song. It's so hard to imagine myself saying, "yeah that was an Em6 and that other one was C# dim."

This is such a good example of an effective tutoring style! Good on you. Am enjoying your approach.

I love your version, I love how you've laid it all out, I love that you provide a lead sheet WITH THE TABS, you are doing a great GREAT thing for ALL uke players. Thank you. I live overseas and some local friends actually don't know this song!!! So i've made a goal to have this as my new cover song for the summer. Your tutorial made it a breeze....no thinking or chord transposing or hard musical work.
