Good job, id only say you picked it way too fast. The song should go for around 5minutes. It feels kind of rushed. Technique is great just neeeds to slow down
Somewhere over the Rainbow is such a gorgeous jazz standard, originally composed by Harold Arlen for the 1939 film "The Wizard of Oz." We hope you enjoy this solo ukulele arrangement! Go here to watch the full video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vV-9dFttO1E.html
I just found this piece in your Graded Repertoire for Uke book this morning, and have been playing it all day! ❤ Beautiful arrangement! I found this video because I googled the title and composer, hoping that this was part of a longer piece. (Because I'd love to learn more if there is more to it somewhere?). I'm in your Uke school, just finished the first unit. (But am one of those who hasn't yet been able to post a video... Cant tape anything until its perfect! Haha) Love this so much! ❤ (Jill D)

Wonderful lesson and well presented as are all your lessons at Ukulele Corner Academy. I am thoroughly enjoying your excellent Hawaiian Graded Repertoire book. There’s nothing like it out there. Since joining UCA, I have progressed with fingerstyle ukulele and am now enjoying your Hawaiian Ukulele Course. Mahalo, Jeff!
This was a great lesson, not only because you gave us something to play but also showed off different aspects of Hawaiian Instrumentals. The groundwork for all the embellishments and swing rhythm was well explained and now can be explored by the player who is interested. Thanks :)
Awesome lesson, thank you for sharing the Queen's music and keeping it alive and thriving! I'm excited to practice and share this one! Just a heads up, there might be an issue with your link to the tab. At the time of my writing, I get a 404 error from the link. Thank you again!
In this video, Jeff plays his arrangement for fingerstyle ukulele of the famous shaker song Simple Gifts.

Thank you for that. I had my index fused so I don’t want to pick with it and strumming is easier. Nice if you could throw in strumming techniques a few times a year.
