“In the Aeroplane Over the Sea” in G for Baritone Ukulele

Stephy

Emo millennials rejoice! Our anthem is here! We can now fully feel our sadness toward the state of the world today by channeling it through “In the Aeroplane Over the Sea” by Neutral Milk Hotel.

In this post, I have a play-along video for both GCEA and DGBE ukulele tunings. As of right now, I only have a printable download for baritone ukulele. This version is in G, which is the original key. I will also have a version in C coming out, which is easier for my female vocal chords and may be easier for those playing a GCEA tuning.

I recorded this a bit fast, feel free to slow down the playback speed when you’re learning.

As you invest your valuable time making music with me in my videos, consider enriching your learning experience with my supplemental song sheet.

I ask a small price for my custom song sheet PDFs. The PDFs contain all of the information I show in my videos, in an easy-to-digest visual format. They are formatted to print and place in your music binder, or display on your tablet. In addition to showing which chords to play and song lyrics, these sheets also show chord diagrams to support players who are still learning.

Downloadable PDFs include full song lyrics and chord diagrams for your specified tuning.

Helplessness Blues – Ukulele Song Sheet and Play-along

Stephy

This arrangement is in G, which worked better for baritone ukulele and for my female singing voice. Chords included are G, C, D, and a special little Csus4. I have song sheets for both GCEA and Baritone tunings available to download.

This song has been speaking to me a lot lately. I think this project, this content I create, the things I share so more people can partake in music making – that may be the “great machinery serving something beyond me.” Maybe this work is my orchard.

“Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” for Baritone Ukulele

Stephy

I was like, “I’ll just make those two Christmas tutorials and call it good.” Right.

This song is challenging, not just because of the chords used, but the sheer number of chords that we don’t see terribly often in the simpler songs. Hopefully in the video it helps when I break it down, it definitely took a lot of time for me to learn this. Don’t give up! Use my supplemental PDF to help with your practice.

“Leatherwing Bat” for Baritone Ukulele

Stephy

This song is so much fun to sing because of its modal character. The chords move quickly, but it’s okay because they’re easy chords and there are only 3 of them (G, D7, em).

In the past, I have used this song as a basis for teaching improvisation on the recorder. You can start with B-A-G, then add the lower E as the student(s) get comfortable.

Baritone Ukulele Chord Chart – I Got Rhythm

Stephy

I love this song for teaching AABA form, its fun chord progression, and just generally having fun while singing. One activity I used to do with elementary students was to have them list things that made them feel good or happy, and have them make their own versions of the song using those things. I love giving students opportunities to be creative and share what they love in their lives!

Baritone Ukulele Chart – “Edelweiss”

Stephy

This classic from “The Sound of Music” was actually one of the first non-original songs I learned on the baritone ukulele! (which is my “home” ukulele – I learned bari before I learned GCEA)

This song contains the G, D7, em7, am7, A7, and cm chords. It’s a great study in music theory and an opportunity to try some fingerpicking. Plus, it’s just a gorgeous song.

“Lean On Me” Chords for Baritone Ukulele

Stephy

This incredible classic by Bill Withers is great for learning fast chord switching. Like in the original piano part, my arrangement goes through each triad (C-dm-em-F) to support the simple and effective melody. My accompanying song sheet includes tips on how to count through the chord switches in the verse and the chuck patterns in the chorus.

10 Kids’ Songs Using 2 Chords – Ukulele and Baritone Ukulele

Stephy

This is my collection of 10 kids’ songs that only use 2 chords on the ukulele. Songs include the Itsy Bitsy Spider, Make New Friends, Baby Bumblebee, My Darling Clementine, Did You Ever See a Lassie, This Old Man, Six Little Ducks, The Wheels on the Bus, The Farmer in the Dell, and the Hokey Pokey. In this resource, all of the songs use the C and G7 chords.

To supplement the video, I have created song sheet downloads for each ukulele tuning – GCEA and DGBE. It’s always tricky to find good kids’ songs with only 2 chords, so I hope you find this convenient! I always display chord diagrams on the pages for the ease of people still learning.

Play along with me here – The video displays chords for both GCEA and DGBE tunings.
