Up until recently my repertoire has been sixties, seventies, and some eighties rock and folk songs. Some old timeless songs like Clementine, Hey Good Lookin', stuff like that. But this summer my neighbors have had an Italian exchange student who happened to show up with a ukulele. So we have been playing a lot, and she has her own songs that she is playing, so I'm expanding my horizons a little.
One song of her's in particular is House of Gold by Twenty-One Pilots. If you watch the video, which may be disturbing to some, they are accompanying it with a ukulele. It works great, and it is a pretty song to sing. It is not particularly hard to play.
One thing of note, the entire first verse of the song is played with just a C chord, but all the strings except for the C are muted by barring them. That really sounds good, especially when you un-mute that C chord and start playing the song. Anyway, it is nice to learn some songs that maybe a younger audience can connect with. House of Gold, Twenty-one Pilots, give it a try.
