This is about 1 and a half weeks into the uke-ing and I am not gonna lie Iām feeling pretty good! This video above is me performing the intro picking and the intro chords to āYouāre Beautifulā by James Blunt. This song is the first one I have chosen and attempted to pick and though it took practice I think Iāve finally gotten the āharsh, rusty, angelicā sound James was trying to create. As you can hear I am still adjusting getting to my G chord as my little fingers still canāt process switching back and forth. Lately, Iāve been practicing switching from either an A or an F to the G to try to train my fingers into forming into position, yet it is still quite tricky for me. What you didnāt see videotaped was my attempt at signing āYouāre Beautifulā. Not gonna lie it didnāt go that well, however, I found this song easier then riptide, this might be because of the slower lyrics or because this one I can kinda cheat sing by strumming one chord per lyric (whoops). Speaking of strumming Iām this song I practiced a new strumming pattern of DDDUDU which sounded quite nice with the song. Ā Hopefully, soon Iāll be brave enough to videotape my attempts at singing but not today, unfortunately.
