Complete Ukulele Beginner Course 101

1. Welcome!: Hello, The plane friends out bet and Jacob and I would like to welcome you to my complete you glean beginner course. If you've always wanted to play the ukulele and you're looking for an easy to follow step-by-step approach. And this course is exactly what it needs, even if you've never played an instrument before. I would start by showing you the very basics like holding and tuning the ukulele, and that he will earn seven strumming patterns, free course and resource. So this sounds great for you. Then please sign up for this class and I'm looking forward to seeing you in sight. 2. How to hold the Ukulele: In this video, I want to show you how to hold the ukulele so you can play comfortably. The first thing you have to pay attention to is the height of your chair. When both feet are placed flat on the floor, your knees should be a bit lower than your hip joints. Now take a footstool and put it under your left foot. You can now take your ukulele and place it onto your left thigh. And then let the weight of your right lower arm sync onto the ukulele. And now the ukulele is pretty stable in its position. This plank position is actually used by many classically guitarists. And the big advantage of this position is that you don't need your left hand to stabilize your instrument, which makes it a lot easier to move freely. Anyway. Now I'll show you a more convenient way of holding the ukulele. In this position. You don't use a footstool. Your feet are placed flat on the floor and it needs a slightly lower than your hip joints. Now take the ukulele and put it onto your right thigh. The right lever arm rests on the ukulele and left-hand supports its neck. So this is what it looks like. I personally prefer the other position because it's more stable. But I suggest that you go ahead and try both physicians and see which one works better for you. I'll see you in the next lesson. Bye bye. 3. Tuning the Ukulele: In this lesson, I would like to teach you how to tune your ukulele. To do that, you obviously need a tuner. There are some tuning apps that you can download onto your mobile devices. One that I can recommend, for example, is called clear tune. But I think the best way to tune your instrument is by getting a chromatic clip on tuner, like the one from SNARK that I will be using in this lesson. The advantage of this clip on humans is that they are more precise and accurate concerning the pitch and they only react to your instrument. And this means that I can actually talk while tuning. If you're using a tuning app, you have to make sure to be in a quiet environment because the tuning app will react to all kinds of surrounding sounds. Now let's talk about the names of the strings. The fourth string is called G, The third string is called C. The second string is called E, and the first string is called a. To memorize the string names, it is helpful to FM mnemonic. So I give you an example. Green clowns eat apples. And now this doesn't make sense. But usually people actually remember things that don't make sense quite well. So let's just go for it. Green clowns, eight apples. When talking about the string names. I would also like to talk about the names of the music notes in general. So the notes are called a, B, C, D, E, F, G. And then we start again from a, B, C, and so on. So let's just do a quick theoretical example. Let's say I would like to tune my third string to see. And the tuner shows a B. And this means that the string is too low and I have to tune it higher, so it gets from B to C. Or another example, Let's say I want to tune my fourth string to g, and the tuner shows an a. And this will mean that the pitch is too high and a half to lower the pitch and turn it down so we can get from a to J. Now let me show you how the tuning pegs work. The tuning pegs of the fourth and the third string have to be turned counterclockwise to make the pitch higher and clockwise to make the pitch lower. So let's take a look at that. I play the G string, the string. And a turn that union pack counterclockwise. So you can hear the pitch was going up. And now I play the G string and turn clockwise. And you could hear the pitch was going down. The tuning pegs of the second first string work the exact opposite way. This means if I turn counterclockwise, the pitch gets lower like this. And if I turn clockwise, the pitch gets higher like that. All right, so let's get straight into the actual tuning. I start with the fourth string, which is the G string. And we see a perfectly tuned G-sharp. You see this sign next to the, next to the gene, which, which looks like a hashtag. So this stands for G-sharp. And the G-sharp is actually exactly between the G and the a. So this means a G sharp is higher energy. And so we have to tune the string down. In this case, as it is the fourth string, we have to turn the tuning peg clockwise. So we already see the G now. And now we're there. So this is something that you have to pay attention to in general, you should not see a sharp sign next to the name of the node. We just want the name of it. So when you tune your ukulele, watch out for that. So this sharp sign, which looks like a hashtag, should not be visible. All right, let's move to the third string, which is the C string. And we see the node B. So the b is lower than the sea. And this means we have to tune the string Higher. This tuning pack has to be turned counterclockwise to make the pitch higher. So let's go. Now we already see the C to be too high, no X-ray. So I go back down again. All right, and this is our C. Now let's go to the second string. So we already CVE, but it's a bit too low. So in this case we turn clockwise to make the pitch higher. And now we have the end, the first string, which is the a string. We already have the a, but we see that it's too high. So let's turn, in this case counterclockwise to make the pitch lower. And this is the a. So we are into, you know. So that's the end of the first section of this course. So go ahead getting to tune, and I'll see you in the next lesson. 4. Strumming - Down Stroke: In this lesson, I will show you the basics of strumming technique. But first of all, let's have a look at the shape of your right hand. So your hand is fairly relaxed and your fingers are slightly curly. If you want to, you can imagine that you are holding a really light suitcase in your hand. And I'll show you the down-stroke. When doing a downstroke, your fingers hit the strings by being moved from top to bottom. Make sure to stay in this suitcase position. So don't stretch your fingers away like this. When you play. Keep them gently curving and remain in this position when played with down-stroke. Another important thing is that the movement has to come from your wrist. Many people have a tight wrist and they move the whole arm when strumming. But this actually takes far too much effort, especially if you want to play fast. So make sure that the movement comes from your wrist. A good way to practice this is by sitting in front of a mirror because this will make it easier to watch the movement you are doing. So the two takeaways from this lesson are the suitcase position for your right-hand and the strumming movement that's coming from your wrist and not from your whole arm. I hope you enjoyed this lesson and as you pretty soon. 5. Strumming - Up Stroke: Now let's take a look at the abstract. The abstract is placed by only using the thumb, and it usually comes after a downstroke. So let's listen to that. We go down and then up and down. And the same in a close up. When playing a downstroke, we usually hit all four strings of the ukulele. When you play an abstract with your thumb. This is not necessary. In fact, I wouldn't worry too much about how many strings you actually hit. So sometimes you might hit one string, sometimes you might have three strings, and it's all fine. So instead of focusing too much on the amount of strings, focus on a steady, constant movement like this. So now that you know the basics of strumming, you're ready to learn your first strumming pattern. And we will be doing this in the next lesson. Bye bye. 6. Strumming Pattern 1: In this lesson, you're going to learn your first strumming pattern. The sign that we find on top of each node stands for downstroke. This strumming pattern only consists of downs. And it sounds like this. By the way, I'm muting the strings with my left hand. So I slightly place the fingers on top of the strings so they don't make a sound. I play the pad and again for you. Down, down, down, down. And if we count out loud while playing the pattern, it sounds like this. 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4. So this should be fairly easy. Now I have a little challenge exercise for you. We play pattern number one, and at the same time we count eighth notes. And here is how it sounds. 1234, 12341234 at. So this might be a bit tricky for you when you try it out for the first time. But I highly encourage you to practice this because it actually makes your voice and your hand independent from each other. And it's really important to develop this skill, especially if you want to sing and play the ukulele at the same time. So keep practicing and I'll see you in the next lesson. 7. Strumming Pattern 2: In this lesson, I'll show you how to play strumming pattern. Number two. You already know the sign for downstroke. And this new sign, which looks like a V, stands for Abstract. In this strumming pattern, we constantly alternate between downstroke, upstroke. And it sounds like this. Down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up. Now let's count 1 replay. So in this case we count eighth notes, 12341234. And as this strumming pattern only consists of eighth notes, our challenge exercise for this lesson would be to count coordinates while playing the pattern. And here is how this sounds. 12341234, 1234. So this is the end of this lesson and actually as well the end of a whole section. In the next section, you're going to learn your first course. So I'm looking forward to seeing you there pretty soon. 8. Strumming Pattern 3: Welcome to a new strumming lesson. Pair number 3 consists of coordinates and eighth notes, and it sounds like this. And again, down, down, down, down, up. So let's play it a few times. Down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down. The next step would be to count what we play. So in this case we would count 1234 and again 1234. And so I tried out a few times. I played for you again, 123412341234 band. And now I have to challenge exercises for you. The first exercise is to count quarter notes while playing the pattern. So this would be 123412341234. The second challenge exercise you might have already guessed it is to count eighth notes while playing the pattern. And here is how it sounds. 123412341234. So f and practicing and I'm looking forward to seeing you soon again. 9. Strumming Pattern 4: In this lesson, I'm going to show you how to play pattern number four. So let's get straight into it. We play down, down, up, down, down, and again, down, down, up, down, down. You can join it with me if you want to. Let's just do it a few times. Down, down, up, up, down, down, down, down, up, down, down, down, down, down, down. And if you're familiar with it movements, the next step would be to count what you play. So in this case, 123412341234. And finally, we have our two challenge exercises. So the first exercise is to count quarter notes while playing the pattern. So we go 123412341234. And the next challenge exercise is to count eighth notes while playing the pattern 123412341234. And so have fun practicing. And I'm looking forward to seeing you in the next lesson. 10. Left Hand Position: In this section, you are going to learn your first courts. But first of all, I would like to talk a little bit about the left-hand position. To show you the basic position, I move my hands to the fifth fret and a place one finger per fret onto the third string. So the first finger, the index finger goes on to the fifth fret. Second finger goes on, Fred number 26, third finger on the seventh fret, and fourth finger on the eighth fret. Your knuckles should always be bent like this. So it shouldn't look like that. So keep an ACO, spend all the time. It's important to touch the string with the tip of your fingers. So with this part, don't touch them here. But here. As you can see, it is also important to place your fingers close to these metal pieces. So if a place my first finger on the fifth fret, I don't place it here, but here. This is a small but very important difference because the pitch will be more accurate when you place the fingers close to the metal pieces. Your thumb should be fairly straight and it is located somewhere between the index and the middle finger. So this is what it looks like. So don't bend your thumb over and hold onto the fret board like this. This is not good. So keep your thumb relaxed and straight and you get back to a good playing position. So these were some basic information about the position of the left hand. In the next lesson, I'll show you some quick warm-up exercises for your fingers. See you there. 11. Warm-up for the left hand: In this lesson, I showed you a warm-up exercise that helps your fingers to develop strength and independence. So let's place the thing as on the third string, like we had them in the lesson before. So the first thing that goes on the fifth fret, and so on. Now, lift your first finger and move it around a little bit. Make sure that the other thing is stay in place though. So they shouldn't get out of their position while moving the index finger. So the finger stay in place and we move the index finger around a little bit. And now tap onto the string a few times like this. And make sure that the knuckles of your index finger append. So you should not do it that way. All right, let's get back to the correct version. After having done that for a few times, let the index finger rest on the string. And now lift the second finger and move it around a little bit. And now tap on the string. And again the other fingers keep their position. Let the second finger rest and lift and move your third finger. You'll notice that it's more difficult to move the ring finger compared to the other two. So just make small movements. And now tap on the string. The small. All right, and finally, let's do the exercise with our fourth finger. So move it around a bit and start tapping. After a few days. When you feel comfortable doing this exercise, you can place the fingers one fret lower, so the index finger goes on the fourth fret, and so on. And over the weeks you can gradually move further down until you reach the first thread. You can see that the frets become bigger when we go down further. Which means that we have to stretch our fingers a bit more. And this is the reason why you should start doing this exercise on the fifth fret because your fingers need some time to get used to this slightly stretched position. So this was our left-hand warm-up exercise. I encourage you to practice it regularly because it will be much easier for you to play chords when your fingers a wound up properly. I'll see you in the next lesson. Bye bye. 12. Chord F-Major (F): In this lesson, you are going to learn your first court. And I'm also going to teach you how to read chord diagrams. So this diagram here is an F major chord. We have four vertical lines which represent our strings. The left line is the fourth string. Then we have the third, the second, and the first string. We also have horizontal lines which represent the frets. So we have the first fret up here, second fret, third fret, fourth, fifth fret. The black dots show us where we have to place our fingers. And the numbers are obviously tell us which thing we have to use. So in this case, for example, we have to use our second finger, which is the middle finger. And we have to place it on the fourth string, second fret. And the first finger goes on the first fret of the second string. We also have two circles up here, and they just tell us that we have to play open strings. So in this case we have to play an open third and an open first string. So let's play the whole code again. The second finger goes on the second fret of the fourth string. Then we have an open third string. First finger, first fret, second string. And open for a string. So this is your very first chord, F major. I'm looking forward to seeing you again pretty soon. Bye-bye. 13. Chord C-Major (C): Now a second court is called C-Major, or just the C chord. We have an open string and open third string, and open second string. And then we have to place our third finger on the third fret of the fifth string. And play each string separately to make sure that all of them sounds good. Some people prefer using their full finger instead of the third to play this chord. So just go ahead and try what feeds more comfortable for you. This was C major. I see you in the next lesson. 14. Strumming Pattern 5: Welcome to the lesson on how to play strumming pattern number 5. Here is how it sounds. Down, down, down, up, down, and again, down, down, down, up, down. So let's play it together a few times. Down, down, down, up, down, down, down, down, up, up, down, down, down, down, down. And if you're able to play it, then you can count what you play. So this would be 1, 2, 3 and 4, 1, 2, 3 and 4, one 234. And now finally you can do, as always, the two challenge exercises. So first of all, we count quarter notes while playing the pattern 123412341234. And now we count eighth notes while playing the pattern 1.523412341234 and practicing. And I'm looking forward to seeing you soon again. 15. Strumming Pattern 6: In this lesson, I'm going to show you how to play pattern number 6. This pattern is a pretty popular patterns, so make sure when you practice it well enough. It can be used to play lots of different songs. So let's get straight into it. We go down, down, up, down, down, up, and again, down, down, up, down, down, up. Let's do a few times together. Down, down, up, up, down, down, up, down, down, up, down, down, up. And now let's count what we play. 1, 2 and 3, 4, 1, 2 and 3, 4, 1, 2 and 3, 4 end. And now we have our two challenge exercises. So the first exercise is to count quarter notes while playing the pattern 123412341234. And the next exercise is to count eighth notes while playing the pattern 123412341234. And so as I mentioned before, this is really important strumming pattern because it can be used for many songs. So make sure to practice it and also make sure to practice a challenge exercises because they will help you to develop independency. And so you will be able to sing and play the ukulele at the same time. See you in the next lesson. 16. Strumming Pattern 7: In this lesson, I'll show you how to play pattern number seven. So here is how it sounds. Down, down, down, up, down, up, down, down, down, up, down, up. Let's play it a few times to get it. Down, down, down, up, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, up, down, up. So now let's try to count one we play. So 123412341234. And now let's finish the lesson with our two challenge exercises. So first of all, we count quarter notes while playing pattern number 7123412341234. And now let's count eighth notes while playing the pattern 12341234 and run and 234. So have fun practicing, and I'm looking forward to seeing you soon again. 17. Are you sleeping - Demo: Use the jaws, draws, jobs, loading asthma. Does when a rain gauge, 3 dot, dot, dot. 18. Are you sleeping - Chords & Strumming: In this lesson, I would like to show you the core and the strumming pattern that you will need to play a song, I sleeping. So we only need one quarter, and this is the chord C major, with the third or the fourth thinner. And the strumming pattern that I've been using to play the song is patent number 6, which goes 1, 2, and 3, 4 and 0. In other words, down, down, up, up, down, down. Good. The song is eight measures altogether. Let's go through it together. 12341234123412341234. And now we have a second line, 1234123412341. So you'll notice that I'm doing something different in the last measure. And this is because it's the end of the song. End. A song is finished. I always finish the song on a downstroke to make it clear that the song is over. So in the last measure, I would not play the full strumming pattern played in a way so that you can finish on a down. So let me show you the last two measures again. So measure number 7 is with the complete strumming pattern, 1234 and measure by 81. And then it's basically finished. What I also did in the demo version is that I added a downstream with the thumb. So this is what it sounds like, one. And you can do this if you'd like it, but you can also leave it out. So do whatever you prefer, but finish on a downstroke. So again, the last two measures, 12341. In the next lesson, I have a plane on for you that you can use to practice this chord progression and the strumming pattern. See that. 19. Are you sleeping - Playalong: 12341234. From time to time, 1234. 20. Are you sleeping - Tips on Singing: In this lesson, I would like to give you some tips on singing. The most important thing is obviously to find your first node to the node you're going to start with. And this is important because the key of your singing has to match the key of your ukulele play. To find the first note, you can do the following theme. You play the C major chord. And I'm trying to find and sing the first note. I use Li, Ping, use LEA, and so on. If you have a good sense for harmony by nature, then this way will probably work for you. So you played the whole court and you find your first note just by listening to the course. If this is difficult for you, that let me show you an easier way. You can play string number 3 individually. And this is the note. See, the note that you're going to start with. Are you sleeping? You sleep. And now you're seeing and a ukulele, they mesh together because everything is in the same key. So if the first version is too difficult for you to pick the right tone by listening to the whole court ventures do that thing. So again, it's string number 3. You play individually so you can hear your starting note very well. And then you can play the whole song. So this was the chapter on how to play IS sleeping. I hope you enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to seeing you soon again in the next lesson. Bye bye. 21. Chord G7: In this lesson, you're going to learn the G7, which is a dominant seventh chord. We have an open fourth string, and then we place the second finger on the second fret of the third string. The first thing that goes on the first fret of the second string, and the third finger on the second fret of the first string. And now try out the pressure relaxation exercise. So pressure relaxation, pressure relaxation, pressure relaxation. So that's the end of this lesson. And as you pretty soon. 22. Chord Change C - G7: In this lesson, we move on to more difficult code change, G7, C major. So let's look at the movement. When changing from G7 to C major, we lift the first and the second finger, and the third finger slides from the second fret to the third fret. We also release the pressure in the third finger when changing the court. But we don't lifted away from the string. Again, G7. And then we lift finger 12, a wave. And third finger slides towards the third fret. And this is the smallest possible movement that we can make. When going back to G7, we let the third finger slide towards the second fret, and the same time we place the other two fingers on the strings. So this is C, sliding back and placing the two fingers. So let's try pattern number one, starting with G7, 1, 2, 3, 4 and change 1, 2, 3, 4 and change again, 123412341234123412341234. So the third finger is always in contact with a string. So that's the end of this lesson. And remember, the movements are always as smooth as possible. See you soon again. 23. Rock my soul - Demo: Rock die. So they have rock, nice all the parts of Abraham truck die so the curve Abraham to buy. So you can't use ovaries. You can't read, so we can't get around the cat too. 24. Rock my soul - Chords & Strumming: In this lesson, I would like to show you the courts and the strumming pattern that you will need to play the song, Rock myself. So let's start with, because you already see them on the board. We have two codes, and these codes are C-Major, the third finger, and G7. Second, first, third finger. Strumming pattern that we'll be using to play the song will repair the number six, which goes down, down, up, down, down, up. Or for those of you who like to count, it would be 1234. And so that's all the material we need to play the song. Let's go through the song now. We start at the first measure, first line with the C major chord. So we play 1234. Second measure is C-Major as well, 1234, and change to G7. Make sure that your third finger keeps touching the string and make a small movement. So G7, third measure, 1234. And again, 1234. Now we go to the second line and we go back to C major. Slice. Your third finger from the G7 position two, the third fret, 1234, and again 1234 and change to G7. Third finger stays in contact, 1, 2, 3, 4, and back to C, 1, 2, 3, 4. And so this was kind of the verse. And you see that when we switch into the chorus, which is line number 3 and 4, you see that 34 are actually a repetition of 12. So I guess you will already be able to play that today, that we start again in C, 1234 and, and again 1234 and change to G7, 1, 2, and 3, 4 and, and again 1234. And now we have the last line back to C, 1, 2, and 3, 4 and, and again 1234 and change to G7, 1, 2, 3, 4. And now we have the last measure of a C major chord. We play 123, as it is the last measure of a song. I don't play the whole strumming pattern, but I finished on the three because I think it's important to finish on a downstroke so you can show that the song is over. So the last measure is just 123. And then the SOM is finished. In the next video, I have a plane on for you that you can use to practice these code changes. See you there. 25. Rock my soul - Playalong: one two and three four one two three four one two three four five one two three four one two three four one two three four one two three four one two three four one two three four one two three four one two three four one two three four one two three four one two three four two three four one two three four one two two three 26. Rock my soul - Tips on Singing: In this lesson, I would like to give you some tips on seeing. When we sing and play the ukulele at the same time. The first important thing is that we find our starting node, the first node that we're going to see. And we have two option to do this. First of all, we could just play the C major chord, which is our first course. Rock my soul. And find our starting note by listening to the whole called. So many people are not able to do this. If that works out for you, that's great. But if you're not able to do this, you can actually play the single note, and this is the note C, which is the open third string. Rock mice. So, so if you're not sure about your starting note, just play the individual nodes. Rock my SO and then you can start straight away, rock by so and so on. So that's the first important thing. The next thing is that we have to look at the core changes and on what we've seen when changing the courts. One recommendation that I have is to underline the syllabus and the words that we seen when the court changes take place. This will simplify the synchronization between the voice and the hand. I've actually done this for you in one of your PDF documents. So have a look at that if you want to. Let's go through the whole song now and talk about the changes. So as I said, we started in C major. We can play the open C string. Rock my, so in the ASM of Abraham rock. And when we seen the word rock for the second time, we change to G7, rock, my, so Abraham, rug and again, other word rock, we change back to major. Rock. My soul in the ASM. And o an hour over, change to G7. Oh Rock My through and onwards. So we go back to C major. So now we stay in C. We are at line number 3 now. So you can scan rate. So on the word solo to G7, so low, you can scan rate. So, and again on, so we go back to C. So why'd you can get around vail cans on the next Can't we go to G7 again? Can't get through the door. And other words, do we make our final change to the last C-major chord? And we finished on the down. And the song is over. So this was our lesson on how to play and sing rock my soul. I hope you enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to seeing you soon again. 27. Chord Change C - Dm : In this lesson, you're going to learn the core change between C major and D maya. Changing from C major to the minor is pretty similar than the core change we had before, C major to F major. So when you play a C code, you already prepare thing as 12 for the D minor position. And when you change to D minor, you let your third finger joint the other two. So this is C. Prepare the fingers and you go into D minor. Let's do this with pattern number 1234123412341234. So changing from D minor to C is actually the easier change because you only need to move one thing into its position. The difficult change is from C to D minor. So really make sure to prepare the other two fingers. So you don't need to do a lot when changing. Let's have a look at a different fingering now. In this case, for that change, it might make sense to use the forefinger instead of a third to play C major. Because then you have all the other three fingers available to prepare for the D minor chord. This is what it would look like. We have pattern 1234123412341234. So try both fingerings and try to figure out which one works best for you. When you've mastered the core change, you can also try it with a more difficult strumming pattern. For example, pattern number 6. So starting C major, and we go 123412341234123412341234. And and of course, you can also practice any other strumming pattern that you've learned so far. See you in the next lesson. 28. Drunken Sailor - Demo: What shall we do with the drug could say a lot more troubling. Was a drug. Could say you got to watch Chablis dinner where the drug can say, dogs rises and rises to share Christ is the ball. 29. Drunken Sailor - Chords & Strumming: In this lesson, I would like to teach you the courts and the strumming pattern that you will need to play and sing, what shall we do with the drunken sailor? So first of all, let's have a look at the course. We have two courts, and these quotes are D minor with the second, third, first finger. And C-major. We usually play with the third finger, but in this case, you might consider playing it with a fourth finger. Because the other three fingers are needed for D minor. Is my make the core change a little bit easier. So just for you to think about the strumming pattern that we will be using is pattern number six in a 4, 4 time signature. Goes down, down, up, up, down, down, up. Or for those of you who like to count, it would be 1234. And, and we'll be using the pattern throughout the whole song. So let's go through the song are starting at the first measure with D minor. So we play 1234 second measure, D minor as well. To N3. For change to C major, you can already prepare your fourth finger, 1, 2, 3, 4, end, and again 1234. And to prepare the other fingers, we have the second line now back to D minor, 1, 2, 3, 4, and, and again 1234. And prepare your forefinger, change to C 1234 and back to the minor 1, 2, 3, 4. And now we have the third line. And we see that lines 3 and 4 H in your repetition offline 12. So we have now the second verse, and we start in D minor. So we go 1, 2, and 3, four amps and again 1234 and change to C 12341234. And prepare the other three fingers. 1234 and, and again, 1234 and change to C, 1, 2, 3, 4, and back to D minor for the last time, 1234. And so after having played the last measure, I add another downstroke on the D minor chord, which you see on the board. We don't play a full measure to finish the song because I like finishing on the downstroke. If you finish on a downstroke, you're making it clear that the song is now over. And so in this song, I decided to play the whole last measure and then add another downstroke on the one of the next measure. If you want to call it like that, we don't play a full measure which has played out strip. So in the next video, I have a playlist for you that you can use to practice these core changes. And I'm looking forward to seeing you there. Bye. 30. Drunken Sailor - Playalong: 12341234123412341234123412341 31. Drunken Sailor - Tips on Singing: In this lesson, I would like to give you some tips on CMI. So the first important thing that we have to do is to find our starting note, the first note we're going to sing. And we can do this by playing the D minor chord, which is the first course. What shall we do? And try to find our starting node by listening to the whole course. What shall we do? If this is too difficult for you, then you have a second option. You can play the open first string, which is the a string. And find your starting note by listening to the single string. And then you can go straight into the plane. So now let's have a look at all the core changes. So it's always important to know when the core changes take place. And one thing that you can do is underlining the words and syllables where we change the coals. I've actually done this for you in one of your PDF documents. And now I want to take you through ozone and we sing and play together to make sure we find the place where we have to change the course. So again, we start on the D minor chord and we go straight into play. What shall we do with a terrane? Terms? Say, what are the next one? Checks to see what shall we do with it? Run, say no. And then again on the word watts, we come back to the Maya. What shall we do with it around turn say, and then on the word early we change to see early in the morning. And on the morning we come back to the minor. Morning, we stain D-minor. We are in the third line now. Who? Ray and she rises. Who saw again of the H2RA, we come to C major, and she rises. Who are. On the next tool? We will come back to D minor, who end up, she rises. And now again on early. Early, we go again to see in the morning. Morning, we go again back to D minor morning. And after we sing and play morning, we play through the whole measure and finish up the next downstroke body. And then the sum is finished. All right, so this was our lesson on how to play and sing. What shall we do with the drunken sailor? I hope you join us and I'm looking forward to seeing you soon again in one of the next lessons. Bye. 32.
