i had trouble learning the song "friend like me" from Aladdin on ukulele cuz i couldn't find accurate chord charts online or on youtube, after a couple months of trying to play by ear i eventually gave up. im a beginner ukulele player who basically just watched tons of youtube tutorials and played along, so i have no idea how to capture chords out of thin air. (unless the song has lots of Cannon D chords, then it's doable lol) after finding this teacher, she recommended her husband, who is also an accomplished musician, to help me out. initially i expected the process to take maybe 3 sessions to complete, but he easily picked out all the correct chords within an hour. (he said actually he can do it in 20 mins if there was no distraction lol) and he also helped me correct my thumb positioning and patiently answered all of my questions even though we went way past the session time limit. won't happen again, gonna set an alarm for next the lesson. :-P so after trying for months and giving up, i can now play and sing the entire 'friend like me' in just over 2 days of practice, i even managed to slip in a little of will smith's 2019 version additions. but unfortunately, the ending climax of 'never....hada....friiiiiiend liiiiike meeeeeee' proved to be way too high for my vocal range, so now i will be booking singing lessons with this teacher. whatever it takes, im gonna master this song even if it kills me lol anyways, sorry for the long review, highly recommend this pro musician teacher duo, very much looking forward to the singing lessons, can't wait to hit that high note. i can tell she is a gifted teacher by the way she described her teaching philosophy and process.
