Chords for House Of The Rising Sun - The Animals EASY Ukulele Tutorial

[F#m] Hello and welcome.
In this video we will learn how [F#] to play House of the Rising Sun by The Animals.
Make sure that your [G#] ukulele is tuned and let's get [C#] started.
If you'd like to have something printed in front of you, [D#] I have a PDF for you to download.
Just check the link in the description box below.
Alrighty, we are on line 1, A [B] minor.
This is the intro.
1, 2, play along or listen.
[Am] _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ A little tip here.
Play A minor with your middle [D#] finger.
And have the other fingers kind of close and ready so that when you do that slide down and play E,
you're kind of already in a ready position.
Okay, let's try the intro together.
1, 2, [E] ready, go.
[Am] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bm] Okay, if you were [D#] able to do that, you can do the rest of the song
because honestly that E chord is the most challenging part.
Now let's do the verses.
Okay, so we are starting on A minor.
Play along or listen the first time, up to you.
_ _ 1, 2, [C] ready, go. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#] Okay, so there.
The one tip I really want you to stick [G] to is playing D chord [C] this way with these three fingers.
So that when you switch to F, your index finger is already ready to go and you just have to lift.
[A] So let me do that again.
D and then lift.
[B] Press down for F chord.
This way you have to jump a little bit more.
I mean it's possible but you can get much quicker if you do this. _ _ _
[B] Okay, let's try it right there at the [Dm] verse.
1, 2, at the [Am] verse, go. _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Am] It's me _ [C]
and the friends [B] of the [D] _
[F] beautiful.
_ _ _ [Am] _ And I [E] _ know.
_ [Am] _ _ _
So _ _ [C#] this next part, if you have the PDF, you see it says link.
If you don't have it, that's okay.
So the part where that says link, it's kind of like the intro
and it's a series of chords that will lead us [B] back to the beginning or well back to the [F#] verse.
So it kind of like glues it together.
So let's start at the link starting on [G#] A minor. _
_ _ 1, 2, at the link, go.
[Am] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ _ [E] And the repeat sign takes us back to the verse.
[F#] So at this point you could do several things.
We're going to play through the whole song but you can add a little finger style pattern.
[D#] You can add a more flared strumming style [Am] or you can continue strumming the way that we were doing it now.
[Bm] So let me show you the other [F] option.
So if you listen to the song, you might hear that _ _ _ _
_ _ So we can do that with our ukulele and the strumming.
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ And I'm just playing the chords at the intro.
Now for the finger style, you can just go down the ukulele and back up. _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [G#] But if you want to also mimic that
_ _ _ you can [F] do something like this.
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#] If you are here, that means that you are ready [B] to put the whole thing together.
Please choose your finger style or strumming pattern that you're going to do.
I'm just going to continue with the simple one.
[D] Let's start at the intro and take it all the way down.
1, 2, intro, go.
[Am] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ [E] At the verse. _
[Am] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
And just to give you an example of what it would sound like
if you did the fancy [Am] strumming pattern _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
and if you did this figure style pattern. _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ [G] I hope that you enjoyed this [D#] tutorial and I hope that you will come back to my channel and watch a
few more.
As always, thank you so much for watching and I will see you in the next [G] one.
