Please, Please, Please, has been everywhere since its release on 6/6/24, debuting at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100. The music video has been a big hit too, featuring Carpenter’s real-life boyfriend Barry Keoghan (of Saltburn fame), with 30 million views as of this writing. I first became aware of Sabrina Carpenter when Olivia Rodrigo released Driver’s License in 2021, and the public speculated that the song alluded to her off-screen relationship with Carpenter and co-star Joshua Bassett. Carpenter was a fellow Disney star and despite being only 25, has released 5 studio albums to date, as well as opening for Taylor Swift as part of the European leg of her Eras tour.
This video is filmed on a tenor ukulele, though you could also play this arrangement on a concert or soprano ukulele. I developed this fingerstyle arrangement using different inversions, or voicings, which I use to move the melody up the neck. This way I can still maintain chord shapes, giving the tune a chord-melody feel. If you’ve been looking to get started playing acoustic arrangements or popular tunes on your ukulele, give my channel a follow! I offer both cover videos and tutorials at different levels.
