Hello everybody and welcome back to my channel
In today's video I will do for the first time a tutorial
He's my cute ukulele
And actually the video will be devided in two different parts:
In the first one I'll do an easier tutorial
and in the second I'll explain exactly how I did the cover of the song
*then I decided to do two different videos
If you're watching this video is because you're interested in the more difficult tutorial
So I'll start again from the chords of the song
Because here we won't use the basic positions
The song has the following chords:
C, D, Em, Am and G
We will play the C in the following way
with the index on the 7th fret of the 1st string
and the middle finger on the 8th fret of the 2nd string
We won't play the 3rd string when doing this chord
so this is how it should sound
Then we have the D
that we do by playing the 5th fret of the 1st string
the 6th fret of the 3rd string
and the 7th fret of the 2nd string
Then there is the Em
that we do playing the 3rd fret of the 2nd string
the 4th fret of the 3rd string
and the 7th fret of the 1st string
Going on with the Am, we have to play
the 4th fret of the 3rd string
and the 5th fret of the 4th string
and lastly for the G chord we have to play
the 5th fret of the 1st string
and the 7th fret of the 2nd string
again, we shouldn't play the 3rd string at all
so the chord sounds this way
These are all the chords of the song
I decided to devide it in three sections:
Intro and verse, Chorus and Instrumental part
So now we can start learning them one at a time
Intro and verse
*music*
This is the first part of the song
And the chords here are in the following sequence
C, D, Em, D
The fingerpicking of the C chord is
4th, 2nd, 1st, 2nd 4th string
and we do this twice
For the D chord we play
3rd, 2nd, 1st, 2nd, 3rd string
again twice
Then we play the Em
again with the strings 3rd, 2nd 1st, 2nd, 3rd
and then we end the sequence playing the D again
This is the intro
and the verse follows the same structure
for four times
So we do this a first time for the intro
and the four times singing
Let's play this slowly
Now a little bit faster
Chorus
*music* 
(I forgot to sing lol)
This is the chorus
and its chords are Am D
and then in the following order Em D Em, Em D
I actually just noticed that
sometimes I play Em and D with the normal positions
So let's just go step by step
We start by playing the Am the way I showed you before
strumming twice and the stopping the strings
then we play the D in the same way as in the verse
playing the following strings: 3rd 2nd 1st 2nd 3rd
twice
Now we start using the basic positinon of the chords
the D and the Em
and we pluck the strings playing the chords in this order:
Em D Em, Em D
and we play this all thing that we saw, twice
Let's do it slowly
and again
Em
D, Em
Em
D
At this point of the chorus
when we go low with the voice
verly low
begins the instrumental part
that we will see now
Instumental
*music*
This is the instrumental part
and it starts when we play the low note in the chorus
That's just too low fo rmy voice
you'll probably sing it better then me
and at that point we start playing the following chords
C, G, D
We play the C like in the verse
With the strings 4th, 2nd,1st, 2nd, 4th
twice
Then we do the G chord
and we play it using the same strings as we've just done
with the C, 4th 2nd 1st 2nd 4th
but we do this just once
and we immediately switch to the D chord
that's easy to do now
because you just have to add the middle finger to the G chord
and we play the 3rd, 2nd, 1st, 2nd 3rd string
again, only once
We play these chords twice after the first chorus
and the four times after the other two choruses
So here is how it sounds slowly
And this is how it sounds faster
That's basically it for this song
I just want to add two small things
First of all, to give some dynamics to the song
when you play the third verse you can just strum the chords
instead of doing the fingerpicking
And also another useful thing
could be the way to switch between chords
When going from the C to the D
you can keep your index finger on the uke
slide it two frets down and then add the other fingers
And ina similar way between D and Em
you keep this time the middle finger
you slide it down again of two frets
and the you add the rest of the chord
The same of course when you go back to the D
This may be useful to be faster in the transitions
You can also do this between the C and the G
in the instrumental
You slide down again the index of two frets
and then add the ring finger
and also between G and D it's very easy
you only have to add the middle finger
on the 3rd string
So I would say that we can end this video here
I hope it is clear enough
I'll try to add some info if I notice that I missed something
so that everything is understandable
Let me know in the comments if you liked the tutorial
if you found it useful, if you'll follow it
and also let me know if you want more tutorials
so that I can try to film more stuff like this
With exercise I'll also probably get better at explaining
because I really have no idea how this turned out
If I didn't mention something
and you still have doubts ask me in the comments
ask whatever you want
and now I'd say that I'll see you in the next video
Tschüss
