I'm going to do a tutorial on how to play the guitar for about 10 years.
And I played the piano before that and I really enjoyed learning the guitar
because it was kind of easy to immediately start playing songs
because you can just play the chords.
And I started learning the ukulele in August, so that's about five months ago.
I really like the ukulele, it's so portable.
It's quite a fun instrument, it makes things quite fun.
So I'm going to do a tutorial on You Are My Sunshine.
The chords are [C] D [Db] [F]
and [G] G.
[N] And I'm going to do a slightly more complicated version of You Are My Sunshine.
And the chord structure is [C] D, [F]
[C] [F]
[C] G, [N] and then it's [G] C, [Am] [N] D, C, and then F,
and then right around to have a G.
And the strumming pattern [C] [N] is
And the way that I would play that would [C]
be
Because [N] I always like to start the line on the down.
[C] Down, down, up, down, up, down, down, up, down, up.
[N] You could also, if you find it easier, do the same thing.
You could [C] go up.
So you're starting [Eb] on the up, so that means you don't [N] have to start on the first one.
You have to [E] keep changing it from the up and then [C] the down.
[Ab] So do either thing, but the important thing is to have [A] [N] the
So now I'll show you the chorus of the song, which is actually the same as all the verses.
So it's quite easy, I think.
[C] C, C, C, C, C, E, C, C, C, C, C, C.
C, [F] C, C, F, F, F, [C] F, C.
C, C, [F] C, F, F, F, [C] F, F, C, C, C.
C, [G] C, D, [C] E, D, C.
[N] So if you're thinking in terms of beats, you do about, you do 8 beats on the C, 4 on the F, 4 on the C, 4 on the F, and then 4 on the C, and then you do another 2 on the C, 2 on the G, and then back to C again.
So the change between the C and the G is slightly quicker than the rest of the song.
So I'll do that counting.
[C]
[F]
[C] [F]
[C] [Em]
[C] [N] So I'll just do the chorus, I'll play the chorus once, which is fortunately the same as all the verses, so it's quite easy.
[C] You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you [F] make me happy when [C] skies are grey, you'll [F] never know dear [C] how much I love you, don't [Em] take my sunshine [C] away.
