And here’s the audio: Īs far as what fingers to use on the right hand, I would basically assign a finger to each string.
The G, C, and A strings are played on the 9 th, 7 th, and 10 th frets respectively. Here’s an example from the end of the first line where the C, E, and A strings are being played on the 11 th, 10 th, and 10 th frets, respectively:Īnd another example of this pattern would be this: You then pluck the lowest string, followed by the highest string, and finally the middle string again. Like the first pattern, you first pluck the outer strings together and then the inner string after that. The second pattern is a little more complicated. Then the E string is plucked on the third fret.Īnd here’s another example, where you are playing the G, C, and A strings on the 5 th, 7 th, and 7 th fret respectively: The G and A strings are plucked together on the open string and 2 nd fret respectively. One example of this would be the very first thing you play: Then, you pluck the inner string by itself. First, you pluck the two outer strings together. The first picking pattern is very simple. This works because no matter the strings, there are only two picking patterns in the entire song. So for picking, rather than calling the strings by their names, you can think about them as two outer strings and one inner string (in the above examples, the outer strings would be either G and A or C and A, while the inner string is E in both cases). For instance, you may be playing the G,E, and A strings, or maybe the C, E, and A strings depending on what part of the song you’re playing. Now the whole song is played on three strings but they are not always the same three strings. The rest of the article will be focused on the right hand. But if you want to be walked through each fingering/chord one at a time, you can watch my video tutorial (link at the bottom of this article). The only way to really learn the fingerings is to work through the tab and put in a lot of practice. In other words, you won’t find them on a chord chart. However, they’re not your standard chords and they all use only three strings. This whole song basically consists of ascending and descending lines of chords. So you first need to know where to put your fingers. Finally, here’s the original video in case you wanted to hear it first: However, if you absolutely don’t have that available to you, it won’t sound terrible, just not ideal. It’s also pretty important in this song to have a low G string on your instrument rather than a high G.
#Ukelele tabs ten thumbs download#
The first step will be to download the tab which you can get here… In this article, I’d like to share with you how I play it.
Over to Matt…Ī few years ago I recorded a cover of “ Blackbird” by The Beatles on the ukulele.
Matt has put together a great ukulele lesson on The Beatles’ Blackbird. I recently got in touch with Matt Argo after being impressed with his ukulele videos on YouTube.
