Why does the strumming pattern sound so different once he starts playing with the lyrics? 🤯 Would help to break down the strumming pattern along with lyrics (I'm guessing some downstrums need to be emphasized a lot more than the others)
A slow D-D-D-DU with an emphasis on the fourth down strum (twice through for each chord) sounds really nice too, and is a lot less confusing. Haha. My brain could not keep up with the more complicated pattern. Awesome tutorial though!
Love this song, it would have been great to have been shown how to strum faster before including the lyrics. Seems like an entirely different pattern all sped up and a pretty big jump for beginners.
Absolutely... I know you commented this a year ago... and here we are a year later lol suddenly it's a completely different song cause the temp is sped up to the lyrics.
I really wanted to now, how to play this song like you did. And I was SO SO sure that the strumming pattern in the song is not the same as in the practice. It needed much time but now I have it! It is D-d-D DU UDUD DU and the third and ninth (both downstrumms) are emphasized and the second one less or only two strings. Right? For a beginner like me your videos are gold! Thanks and keep it up!
the strumming pattern DdDdu - Udu - DdU This is the closest I can get to the strumming sound when he started playing. D - Full down strum d - half down strum
My 10 year old daughter got a ukulele for xmas and would really love to learn The Apology song from Book Of Life. Also over the rainbow by Israel. Also thank you so much taking the time to do the pdf’s they are so helpful. Is it possible to plunk the starting note of a song as well or how to find your starting note?
Another head hangs lowly Child is slowly taken And the violence caused such silence Who are we mistaken But you see it's not me, It's not my family In your head, in your head they are fighting With their tanks and their bombs And their bombs and their guns In your head In your head they are cryin' In your head Zombie, zombie, zombie What's in your head, in your head? Zombie, zombie, zombie Another mother's breakin' Heart is taking over When the violence causes silence We must be mistaken It's the same old theme since 1916 In your head In your head they're still fightin' With their tanks and their bombs And their bombs and their guns In your head In your head they are dyin' In your head, in your head Zombie, zombie, zombie What's in your head, in your head? Zombie, zombie, zombie
Hey I was just wondering which type of ukulele this is? It does not sound like my soprano ukulele and I thought tenor or concert but I don't know. Thanks for the awesome tutorial!
Love your videos. Thank you. Only issue is that the links are often missing to the chord charts. Where can we go to get all of your posted chord charts?
How are you starting this song with the strumming. I can't keep up with you and out of sink. Can't sing to the start of the song as it doesn't sound right.. thanks please help x
Learned a Lot of Songs from ur Channel, thx alot :) I would be so glad If u could do a Cover from Alec Benjamin, Something Like "let me down slowly" or my absolute favourite "outrunning Karma". There are actually No UKE Covers online... Btw ur voice ist awesome keep going :D
No matter how long I practice I cant seem to get the strumming pattern right. so frustrating. My rhythmn on ukulele is complete ass. So frustrating that i stopped learning this song now before I throw my Uke against a wall
Same here. I think in the latter part of the video, he's not actually strumming the exact pattern he explained in the beginning. Some strokes are either de-emphasized, or are shorter, or completely removed - can't make it out - but they are definitely not whatever was explained in the beginning. That U D U D part is sticking out as a sore thumb.
pretty potato You can learn that! Just start with one strum per chord and if you can do that really well after a few hours or days, just do two strums, then four and then a pattern❤️
