Cynthia, I am impressed at how detailed your tutorials are. You go above and beyond describing the possible ways to do the chord transitions, and never opt for the bare minimum needed. There is a lot of effort in these videos, and it shows. Thank you.

Excellent! I love how you have the chord diagrams on the screen the whole time in your initial run through..super helpful! I've been playing uke for about 6 months and am in love! I've played guitar since I was 11 (over two and a half decades!) and the transition to the ukulele has been easier than I thought! I appreciate your teaching style for sure! THANK YOU!!!!

You are amazing ! You are the reason I started to play. I didn't have much resources and even though I wanted to play, I never thought I would be able too, but then I found your tutorials and they are so easy to understand and you are so wonderful that I actually believed I could learn with you, and I did ! Thank you so much !

Till now I always experienced the ukulele as a kind of happy instrument which you can play happy and cheering songs with it. Here I experienced that an ukulele also can be dark and 'depressive' . I really got goose bumps by linstening to that. You got my like!!

This is my first time learning an actual song on a ukulele and this is honestly so helpful! Really the only things I have problems with is the strumming patterns and the chord finger placements, but of course that comes with practice and playing along with you really helps. I look forward to learning more!
