【I Shot the Sheriff】 Ukulele Tutorial & Play Along (cover) w/ LYRICS & CHORDS

Unique Strum Pattern with nice groove. Only 4 Chords (Em, Am7, Cmaj7, Bm7). Learn the LICK that sounds so nice!

This video is Ukulele tutorial and cover of "I Shot the Sheriff". The key is transposed to Em so it is easier to play. (Original key is Gm. Use a capo on 3rd fret to match the original if you like.)

First part of the video is the tutorial. I cover all chords first. The chords used are: Em, Am7, Cmaj7, and Bm7.
I then explain the strumming pattern. The basic strumming pattern uses combination of up/down strums and PALM SLAPs. The pattern is fairly easy to play for all level of players.
Then I explain how to play the LICK. I had to use a TAB to explain. For players who are not familiar with ukulele TABs, I explain what they are with examples (you can skip this section if you already know). Then I demonstrate how to play the LICK.
Throughout the tutorial, playing techniques are demonstrated in detail with videos and animated diagrams, so it is easy to follow.

Second part of the video is the song cover. The song cover accompanies with LYRICS and CHORD diagrams in timely manner so it can be used as PLAY ALONG.
As I'm not a good singer, my singing voice is processed with software. I appreciate your understanding.

The song was written by Bob Marley and released in 1973. Eric Clapton version is also very famous.
