"First Day of My Life" (Bright Eyes) Ukulele and Baritone Ukulele Play-along

This easy play-along for "First Day of My Life" by Bright Eyes is for both GCEA and baritone ukulele tunings. I would describe the level of this song as fairly easy, there are quite a few chords and they change fast, but there's a lot of repetition. As with anything, if it's tricky at first, break it down and slow it down.

I realize I did some weird things with the E7 chord, but here's the thing - E and E7 function harmonically the same way, as a passing secondary dominant chord leading us to A minor. Honestly E7 is easier for me on GCEA, and the voice leading sounds better to me playing E on baritone tuning.

Enjoy the song and the play-along! I have a handful of new tutorials and play-alongs coming your way!
