A Special Valentine’s Day Bundle! (Baritone Ukulele Tuning)

Stephy

In honor of Valentine’s Day, I’m offering a sweet little bundle of five songs of love and friendship for the baritone ukulele tuning!

These songs span beginner and intermediate levels and include Me and Bobby McGee (just G, G7, C and D7), We’re Going to Be Friends (G, C, D and a couple extra), First Day of My Life, Can’t Help Falling in Love, and Lean on Me (each with lotsa fun chords to chew on!).

Also included in this post are accompanying videos to help get you started and practicing these songs of love and friendship!

This video is for standard tuning, but you can skip to the fingerpicking section to get an idea of how to spice it up!

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.

Certain PDFs include explanations of techniques utilized in the corresponding video.

It takes a lot of time for me to create these resources, and I hope that your support can help me to keep creating more helpful tools for learning music!

Happy practicing!

Beginning Ukulele Classes

Stephy

Hello!

If you’ve been following my posts for a minute you might know that I teach the ukulele. I’m excited to share that I’ll be running two beginning ukulele courses through Lessonface – One for kids and one for adults 13+. They will be live on Tuesday afternoons (PST) starting March 15th.

These are designed for complete beginners, so if you’ve had an ukulele sitting around for a bit and haven’t been sure about how to start it, this would be a great starting place! I plan to share this through my YouTube channel (almost 30k subscribers now!) – so grab a spot while it’s available. 🙂

Check the links below for specifics on class content, times, and please feel free to ask if you have any questions. I also am available for 1:1 lessons through Lessonface.

“Otherside” by Red Hot Chili Peppers for Baritone Ukulele

Stephy

Enjoy this blast into my middle school past! “Otherside” is actually quite approachable on the baritone ukulele, using only the G, C, am, em, and F chords. Stylistically, there are some techniques I will show in this video that can help you get this song ready to rock!

“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.
