“First Day of My Life” by Bright Eyes for GCEA and Baritone Ukulele

Stephy

I was a senior in high school when I first heard this song (2005) and it still makes me bawl when it hits just in the right way. My video play-along includes chords for standard and baritone ukulele tunings.

This song features the C, E, am, F, G, D7, G7, dm and fm chords, which are diagrammed on my corresponding song sheets.

Play-along for both tunings

“In the Aeroplane Over the Sea” in C for Ukulele (including Baritone)

Stephy

In this post we have a video and ukulele chord charts for “In the Aeroplane Over the Sea” by Neutral Milk Hotel. This version is in the key of C, as opposed to its original key of G. I recommend trying both keys to see which one fits your voice the best! Even though I can sing in a low range, I felt like I could project a bit better in this higher key.

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.

Play along with me here –

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.

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.
