Ukulele Tutorial - Payphone by Maroon 5

December 30, 2013 - -

Here is the tutorial... in thai. I took a look and i found it clear enough to be understood. In the 1st place i do felt that there should be no language barriers when it comes to music.
Chords:
Cadd9: 0203
G: 0232
Em: 0321
D: 2220

Reference: http://www.daveabbott.com/ukulele/chord-chart/svg/gcea.html



And here is her performance. Appreciate her efforts with the subtitle and chords aligned below.

In this tutorial there is a use of Cadd9 chord. That is new to me too. I went to find out more, and it simply means is a C Major chord, with the 9th note (CDEFGABCD) . So you just need to play GDEC.

Ukulele Tutorial - Best Friend by Jason Chen

December 26, 2013 - -

Finding out more on a song that used on a major event earlier this year.

Here is the ukulele tutorial on it.
No capo, 6 chords and a little fanciful for the strumming patterns.
Chords:
C: 0003
B: 4322
Am: 2000
G: 0232
F: 2010
G: 0232
Strum: up, down, chuck. Up, down, up, down, chuck.

I would say that this is a little bit tough for the beginner. Good luck!
