Uke Lesson 5 - Wonderful Tonight
May 1, 2008
Hey UUndergrounders! In our super special Uke Lesson today, Aldrine brings to you the ukulele take on Eric Clapton’s “Wonderful Tonight.” Check it out, get it down, connect with some people, and bring it around town! Then show us what you did over at the Forum.
Special thanks to ALL the awesome people who entered last month’s “Oh, the Places Uke Will Go!” Tenor Kala Ukulele Give-Away Contest! (Catch all the awesomeness HERE in the forum, and HERE). We’ll be announcing the Winners next week Fri (05/09/08) and hopefully the winner is YOU! Check back for the results!
This is UU - wishing you a wonderful tonight, tomorrow, and day after that.
Aloha.
Hi there !
Greetings from Belgium (Europe)
I just bought my very first ukulele (but I’m a guitar player) and I just want to thank you for your wonderful website and this wonderful lesson of wonderful tonight !
I really like the way you play. Thanks again for sharing your experience…
Indy.
Man I got to tell you guys that you’re awesome!!!!!
I love to learn more ukulele songs and to be better player, you guys make it possible. You guys break it down easy and appear to be patient as well. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Love the website.
I hope to be getting a Ukulele next month for my birthday, but I’m still trying to figure out what size to get first. What size Ukulele are you playing in this video?
Hey Aldrine…
That was great!!!! You’ve made it so plain and simple to learn this song…but, I was wondering what you were playing at the opening of this segment. Sounds like something I would love to learn. Do you have the tabs for it.
man u are awsome man.
Thanks Aldrine, that was a great lesson! My playing had certainly improved since adding the ‘chuck’ to my repertoire! I never thought I’d be able to get the picking part on first hearing it, but waddayouknow - with your patient explanation I actually made a reasonable fist of it - thanks again!
Thanks for the great video. For some reason I am having trouble with the strumming still. First, whats the order of the chords throughout the song. Most importantly though, should i play the strum sequence exactly once for each chord? i think thats where I am getting messed up. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
