bunnyf,

I edited your thread title to include the name of the song you're looking for. Hopefully this will help your thread catch the eye of someone who can help.

Good luck!

Congratulations!

Thread closed per original poster's request.

That's a common concern, but it's really no different than playing your guitar further up the neck. If you can comfortably play near, say, the 12th fret, then you shouldn't have much trouble with a...

That's awesome!

Just a note that previous thread was closed not because of the topic but because of the tone of some of the replies.

This thread is now closed.

A bit late to this thread, but here are some thoughts, FWIW...

John Legend actually does the tune a half-step higher. So his chords during those verses are Fm, Db, Ab, and Eb. Sometimes he'll add...

Except in those debates "back in the day", there was quite a bit of stubborn arguing on both sides. Thing got pretty heated.

This thread is actually pretty tame, and it seems like most people are...

Welcome Bazron. Congrats on your uke purchase!

Welcome, JD! I was just in OK for Thanksgiving (relatives in the Shawnee area).

I wouldn't worry too much about finding a felt pick--I'm a big advocate of just using "nature's picks", i.e., your...

Sounds like this to me:


D d u d U d u

1 2 & 3 & 4 &

With the capital D (on beat one) and capital U (on the "and" of beat three) being accented a bit more strongly than the others.

I'd like to call everyone's attention to the Ukulele Underground rules. They're listed on a sticky post, but the post can be easy to overlook:

Awesome! Congrats!

The thing about the song is that it's very, very loosely structured. You've got that opening riff and a similar closing riff, and that's it! The "middle" part is just improvised soloing over the...

Harmonic analysis is a bit subjective, but here's my take on those chords:

The verse chords are mostly all in Db major. No problem there. You do have the Db7 at the end, which doesn't so much...

Welcome! And congrats for proving your music teacher wrong! :-)

I've always wanted to visit Scotland (I'm a whisky buff).

Don't fall into the trap of thinking that there's only one answer to this question. Most people are good at several things and have a passion for several things. It's true that you should ideally do...

Your timing is good on this post. I just recently re-watched the excellent "32 Short Films About Glenn Gould".

And yeah, he was the quintessential interpreter of Bach on the piano.

Nice job!

Anyone with enough experience and/or talent to have a "good ear" will know that there's no such thing as the wrong key. :-)

Firstly, many tuners will not only tell you the note, but also the octave you're in. So they might read "C4" or "C5" to distinguish between the two, for example.

Second, from a practical...

Another one voting for just simple downstrums on the beat: D D D D.

You can get fancier, but you don't need to. Certainly not yet when you're still starting out.

Great song, by the way. Good...
