Somewhere Over The Rainbow IZ Ukulele Strum Pattern Tutorial

In this ukulele tutorial I will show you how to strum like IZ on the classic Somewhere Over The Rainbow. Free Strumming Mastery Ukulele Course https://bit.ly/2JcoYri

The chords I'm using in this ukulele lesson are the chords from the chorus of the song and are C - G - Amin - F.

The strum pattern is based off sixteenth notes and will count 1 e + a 2 e + a 3 e + a 4 e + a

The uke lesson is arranged so you can play on any ukulele, soprano, concert, or tenor, high G or low G.

Although you could play this strum pattern with your thumb and index finger, I'm going to simplify it and only use my index finger.

The pattern is D DU MUDU repeated over and over again. D = down stroke, U = up stroke, and M = mute.

Because these are 1/16 notes you will play this D DU MUDU two times per chord.

This strum pattern will sound more like brother Israel Kamakawiwoole IZ when it is played faster, you have to master it at a slow tempo and then gradually speed it up.

Also, I would suggest that you master the strum pattern on the C chord first and then add the G - A minor and F chords once you feel comfortable with it.

Quote of the day, "The way you do one thing is the way you do everything."
