Stephy

In this easy, beginner-friendly ukulele tutorial we’ll be learning “We’re Going to Be Friends” by The White Stripes. This song is perfect for celebrating friendship, returning to school, singing with kids, singing with grown-ups, enjoying things…

This song is a great one for introducing the general blues form, and perhaps the music theory behind the Cadd9 chord.

“Can’t Help Falling In Love” for Ukulele

Stephy

This was a request – sometimes I get requests for songs that are done by soooo many people, but if you’re particularly drawn to my teaching style, and want to practice your fingerpicking and faster chord changes, this would be a good choice!

The video covers just chords for GCEA tuning, but I have song sheets for both GCEA and Baritone tunings. Both tunings use the C, em, am, F, G, B7, and dm chords.

“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.

Jingle Bells – Ukulele Chord Chart and Video

Stephy

Who’s feeling festive? Oh yeah!

Did you know that Jingle Bells was written as a Thanksgiving song? Did you know that, living in coastal California, my students had no idea what a one-horse open sleigh even is?

This is either my best thumbnail ever or my worst! Haha.

Happy Birthday in FIVE Keys! Ukulele Chart

Stephy

You know when you’re at a birthday party and someone starts singing “Happy Birthday,” but they started too high and you have to change keys in the middle of the song?

Don’t do that. Start low. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk ;D

Anyway, I procrastinated making this chord chart, but now that it’s made I’m going to probably use it forever. My brain really wanted the chart to be the other way with the keys on the left and the I/V7/IV as columns, but it just didn’t work out if we wanted to be efficient with our space. Which we do – save the trees and all that.

“Mary Ann” – Chord Chart and Video

Stephy

This is my favorite song to teach with only 2 chords!

Why did I chose to teach it C-G7 for this video? I seriously have no idea, because when I was teaching this to young kids it was much easier to teach this song using F and C7. Ah well. Maybe I’ll make an F-C7 version if there is demand.

Also included: Two strumming patterns!
