I'm Yours

Dang, it's been a while since I've posted a video...

Anyhow, my friend asked me to accompany her on ukulele/backup vocals to record Jason Mraz's 'I'm Yours' for some sort of additional college application requirement.

Anyhow, here's the end result after a few thousand takes (with another of our friends doing some amazingful backup dancing...).

That was fun.

I wish I had gone to ukulele college.

Hah! That was great, I'm smiling too.

Thanks for the post!

Haha... thanks, all, and you're welcome!

And apparently she could submit an example of another talent which she has on an application, so she went with singing.

I don't think if heard this song before....any help?

Deach?

Basically, it's the chords B,F#, G#m, and E repeated over and over again, with one change to C#7 (I believe... not positive... whatever:
2
1
1
1

is.

As for the 'riff', it's basically A and E strings barred at the second fret, slid up to the fourth fret like so

A---2~~~4
E---2~~~4
C----------
G----------

before the 'B' and between the B and F#.

Then a slide on the C string from the second to fourth fret when changing from F# to G#m.

And then you play 3rd fret on C string before switching over to 'E'.

Hope that helps!

I'm Yours
