Learn how to strum like IZ on the classic Somewhere Over The Rainbow in this ukulele tutorial. Free Strumming Mastery Ukulele Course . Show
The chords I will be using are C – G – Amin – F which are from the chorus of the song. Now let me explain the strum pattern which is based off sixteenth notes. It will count as 1 e + a 2 e + a 3 e + a 4 e + a. This lesson will equip you to play on any type of ukulele, soprano, concert, or tenor, high G or low G. This strum pattern can be played using your thumb and index finger but I will explain how you can easily play it using the index finger. The pattern is a combination of D- Down Stroke, U- Up Stroke and M- Mute The pattern is D DU MUDU played over and over again. Since there are 1/16 notes, this pattern is played twice per chord. On playing it fast, this strum pattern sounds like brother Israel Kamakawiwoole IZ. The best way to learn how to play it fast is to first master it at a slow tempo and build up the speed gradually. I would also recommend that you master the strum pattern on the C chord, to begin with, and then add the G – A minor and F chords only after you are comfortable with it. “The way you do one thing is the way you do everything.” Somewhere Over The Rainbow Ukulele 0 ratings0% found this document useful (0 votes) 122 views4 pagesDocument Informationclick to expand document informationOriginal TitleSomewhere Over the Rainbow Ukulele Copyright© © All Rights Reserved Available FormatsPDF or read online from Scribd Share this documentShare or Embed DocumentSharing Options

Seven chords will see you through the song (co-incidentally the same number as colours in a rainbow) and whilst that is a few to remember they're really not that difficult and some of you will be very pleased to hear that there are no barre chords in the mix.
How do you read fingerpicking tabs ukulele?A tab is always read from left to right and each number refers to the fret number. In this example you would: pluck the 3rd fret of the bottom string (A).
