_ Hi, this is a tutorial for how to play I'm Yours by Jason Raz.
[G] And I'm going to do this tutorial in first parts.
The first movie, or video, will be _ the chords and the strumming.
And then the second video _ will be about _ the riffs _ and the song and how to combine that
with the strumming.
So this is part one, and there's only five chords in the song.
The first chord _ is [B] B.
_ _ It's a bar on the second fret, _ _ and you put these two fingers there. _
_ _ _ _ Second chord is F sharp.
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A#m] _ Third chord is G sharp minor. _
_ _ [G#m] _ _ _ _ I suggest [G] putting a [F#] bar on the first [G#m] fret. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
Fourth chord is E. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ So all the fingers are on the fourth fret, except the index finger
is on the second fret.
_ _ _ And that's most of the song.
That's the main _ chords that make [Gm] up most of the song, except _ _ there's a C sharp 7 [C#] in
the middle part.
_ _ It's _ _ _ _ a bar on the first fret, middle finger on the second fret of the first string.
_ _ But _ those first four chords are the main part of the song.
And as far as the strumming goes, _ _ _ it's kind of a reggae beat where the upbeats are the emphasized beats.
_ So what I do is _ I_
Well, with the left hand, it's important to _ _ lift up and not let [B] the chords ring out very long. _
_ _ So what _ _ _
[G] _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _
I do is I push down and I lift up so the chords [E] don't ring out, but I still
keep the [B] chord shape. _ _ _
_ _ [Gm] _ And so as far as the right hand goes when the strumming, _ _ on the first strum, I'll palm mute.
I'll put my hand on top of the strings.
I'll still hit the strings, but I [N] put my hand on it so that no sound comes [B] out.
_ _ _ _ Only on _ every other strum, not the first strum. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ I'm _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
not sure what's the best technique.
I'm new to ukulele, really.
But I just use my index finger on the down and my thumb on the up. _ _ _
_ _ _ [N] So those are the chords.
And for that main _ part of the song, [G] _ you do _ four strums, or four beats per chord.
So start with a B, one, two, _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ F sharp, _ _ [G#m] G sharp minor. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[N] _ So that's that part of the song.
_ _ And then there's that middle section where he kind of does a_
Sorry, I have a mosquito bite on my leg, so I keep scratching it.
Anyway, so then there's that middle part of the song where _ Jason does this little scat
thing, and the chords _ change a little bit.
You only do two beats per chord.
So _ [F#] _ [B] it's _ like_
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ [G#m] _
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
[E] So you do four beats on the E. _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [B]
So it goes B, then the F sharp, then the G sharp minor, then it goes back to the F sharp.
And then it goes to the E.
So B, _ [F#] _ F sharp, _ [B] G sharp minor.
That's the same as what we just did in the beginning, except only two beats.
But now we're going to [F#] go back to the F sharp.
And [Gm] then you go to the E for four [E] beats. _ _
And then to the [C#] C sharp.
_ _ [G] C sharp seven for four beats.
[B] _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ [F#] _ _ _ [G#m] _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ So_
_ _ And _ you do it again.
[B] _ _ _ _
[Em] _ [F#] _ _ _ [G] _ [G#m] _ _ [C] _
[D#m] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _
_ So that's the chords and strumming for I'm Yours by Jason Raz.
In part two, I will go over the riffs and [G] how to combine that with the
