Chords for Best Friend - Rex Orange County (ukulele TUTORIAL)

Hey guys, it's Jen and today I'm going to be [Db] showing you guys how to play [Ab] Best Friend by Rex Orange County
A lot of you requested that I do a tutorial for this song
It's pretty [Cm] easy.
It's pretty straightforward.
So
[Abm] Let's get to it
To begin with [C] make sure that your ukulele is in tune [Ab] standard tuning is good.
This is a concert ukulele, by the way
so
[C] _ [Am] GCA _ _ [N] and
For this song I did use a capo.
I put it on the third fret
So right here
[Eb] one two three
[Cm] _ [Ebm] All right.
So [D] this song is fairly easy [Db] to play
It only uses five chords and I'll make sure to put pictures in this area to help you guys
so
_ [Bbm] There's G
_ [Gb] Then there's [Db] G7
[Eb] then there's C
_ [Ebm] C minor and And
[F] Those are pretty easy chords to play so so far so good
Alright, so next I'll talk about the strumming.
So the strumming isn't too bad
It's pretty easy once you get the hang of it.
So with the first line of the song I should have stayed at home
so I in the cover I did I just
Strummed the first chord G which I'll have over here and I sing it
I sing the words so it went like I
_ [Bb] Should have stayed at home
[B]
So that's how I did that first line.
So that's an that's the exception
so I'll make sure to put the strumming pattern over here and it's [Bb] just
down up down Chuck down
[Db] so if you don't remember or if you don't know what it down what a Chuck is a
Chuck is when you just mute it when you strum and you mute it with the palm of your hand and
If you [Bb] are new at ukulele, it might be a little bit difficult just keep practicing
I promise you'll find you'll eventually get it.
If not, then you can you can just skip the chucking.
That's totally fine
So but the way I did it was so let's do that again.
So down up down Chuck down
_ down up down Chuck down
_ [Ab] All right.
So for example, let me show you guys how I started off the song.
So I
Should have [F] stayed at home
[Eb]
Because right [Db] now I see all these [F] people that love me but I still [Eb]
feel
Alone can't [Ebm] help but check
[F] my phone
So [N] let's do the sequence of chords.
So there's G
G7 C C minor and D.
So with the strumming pattern, [Db] so
_ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ Down up down Chuck down
[Eb] Down up down Chuck down
_ [Ebm] Down up [Ab] down Chuck [F] and then D you strum by itself
So let's go over that again.
So
[Bb] G up down Chuck down
[Bb] G 7 up down Chuck down
[Eb]
C up down Chuck down
C [Ebm] minor up down Chuck [F] D
[E] _ _ [N] so I
Okay, I hope this is making sense so far I'll make sure to put all the chords right here and the
strumming pattern so you guys can understand
but
Let's see
That's there.
So that's pretty much it.
So for the chords use the same course at the whole song.
So
Let's just do like the first part of the song together.
So I
_ [Bb] Should have [C] stayed at [F] home
Cuz right now I see [C] all these people that love me [Eb] but I still feel
Alone can't help [Ebm] but check
[F] my phone
[Bb] I could have made you mine
But no, it wasn't meant to be and see you were there something something [Eb] you were made me
_ [C] _ _
[F] And _ [N] _ that's because
[Bb] _ _ _
_ _ I
So [E] as you can see same five chords at the whole song
[C] The only thing that can be a little bit confusing [Ab] is the strumming pattern
but once you get the hang of it, it's not even that difficult so I
Think that's all for this [N] tutorial.
It was
It's not a difficult song.
I'm sorry for this weird.
This is like this buzzing sound and I don't know what it is
Might be construction that they're doing outside.
I don't know what the city you never know.
I know.
Yeah, I hope this was helpful
Please let me know if you guys want me to cut not cover
But if you want me to make another tutorial of maybe one of the songs that I played in a cover
I'm totally happy to do that.
And yeah all the
In the description, you'll find the chords the strumming pattern
