Uke Lesson 21 – Fallin’ For You

Posted September 1st, 2009


Got a question about this lesson? Post it here.
Watch the Play-Along for this song HERE!!

Hey UUers!

Ok, now we all know how many of you are Colbie Caillat fans (c’mon … you know you like her songs) so we came up with the perfect lesson to suit all your CC needs! This month’s lesson comes straight off of her new album, Breakthrough – the ridiculously catchy single, “Fallin’ For You”.

So go ahead, check out the lesson and if you need more help on the strumming for this song, click on our tutorials for the C String Bass Technique and 3-Finger Chunk.

In case you couldn’t tell, we had a freaking BLAST shooting the Play-Along! Be sure to check out the official video of this song and buy Colbie’s new album, so she can make more cool stuff for us to have fun with.

ALSO, the August UU Give-Away Contest “The Legend of the Ohana Ukulele” is now officially closed. We’re gonna take the next few days to sort through everything and make the final decisions, but WOW people – we got over 150 amazingly creative entries – Great job, guys! Who will win a brand new uke this week? Stay tuned and find out … It might just be YOU!

Aloha,
-UU Staff
