Hi all
I've been playing about a year and a half, and I'm learning California Here I Come, but am totally stuck on one line where the last note just doesn't seem to match and draws me out of tune every time.
It's the 'hard' version from Jim's Ukulele songbook, first verse, 5th line 'California I've been blue' which goes [F]I've been [C]blue.
The way Jolson sang it, 'blue' is lower, but when I play [C] I find myself singing blue (higher) in C instead and is doesn't sound right.
Is this just something I need to pratcice more and learn to do? At the moment for me it's a bit like the Stroop test, where you have to say the name of a colour that's written in a different colour - it throws me!
Any suggestions?
