Hey UUers!
The year is moving right along and as a little gift for sticking to your New Year's ukulele-resolutions, we've got another episode of Uke Lessons, just for you! Last month, the ukulele was a featured guest on the 200th episode of the CBS show, How I Met Your Mother, when "The Mother" (Cristin Milioti) plays a version of "La Vie En Rose" on the uke. So we've decided to do a nice (read: "even better") arrangement of the song that you can play on your very own ukulele as both an instrumental or as accompaniment.
So check it out and let us know what you think! In the Play-Along video, Aldrine is accompanied by fellow musician, Juno Apalla, who really took one for the team and learned the French version as well, for all you French-speaking UUers, so please be sure to thank her in the comments. Have fun with this one and as always, keep strummin'!
Aloha,

Hi! You are awesome, I love this song, thank you. I think that you should include tabs and chords in PDF, but if you can’t do it, doesn’t matter :3 thanks…
Great, but tab in pdf will be greater
you guys are the best. i played along and learned this from you. your display of the chords and when to play them makes it so easy, as long as i repeat and repeat. i am in awe. and, yes, Aldrine, you did a fine job with the french. i am a french speaker, and you did very well.
wonderful! Nice to follow! Great stuff!
