_ _ _ _ _ _ Hi, Walking on Sunshine by Katrina and the Waves.
This is a great song on ukulele.
It's also a bit of a challenge in terms of strumming because you've got really three
very unique strumming patterns that change up throughout the whole song.
There's a Latin strum pattern that feels like [C] this.
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [C] _ Now [Am] taken in slow motion it would [C] be this.
Down, down, down, [F] up, down, up, up, down, up, down, down.
[G] _ Down, down, down, up, [Am] down, [F] up, up, down, up, down, down.
Now we [C] start on a C chord, _ we go [N] to an F, _ then we go to a G chord and back to an F.
And when we come to that F chord with that change of chord, typically you would think
it's a downstroke but in this pattern it's an upstroke which gives it a really cool syncopation.
So it's like this, starting on C, [C] _
down, down, down, up, [F] down, change to F, up, down, and
you've got two ups in a row there.
Watch that again.
[C]
Down, down, down, up, [F] down, up, up, down, up, down, down.
Now switch to [G] G, _ down, down, down, [F] up, down, up, up, down, up, down, down. _
You might want to take just this pattern alone [N] and just practice it over and over and over
again until it becomes second nature, then you're playing it like [C] this.
_ _ [F] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
Now [C#] in the chorus, [B] I'm doing a straight shuffle which is just simply [C] down, up, down, up, down,
up, [G] down, up.
_ _ _ [F] I'm accenting the down beats.
[G] _ _ _ Simple enough.
In the verses, I'm alternating between what I typically call a church lick pattern which
sounds like [C] this. _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ And [G#] then you go into your [C] Latin.
_ _ [F] _ _ _ [C] _
[G] _ _ _ [F] _ Back to church [C] lick, down, down, up, down, [F] down, up, down, down, up, down, [G] down, up,
down, up, down, [F] down, up, down, back to calypso.
[C] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ [C] _ Okay, it's a [N] challenge, but it's fun and once you get the feel of it, it's pretty impressive
when you can play this for your friends and you're changing up all these rhythms throughout
the whole song.
It adds a lot of interest, energy to it.
All right, so let's do it together.
Katrina and the Waves, Walking on Sunshine.
