This instrumental jam is one of the most iconic compositions tied to ukulele music! Our version pays tribute to this in an exciting way as we’ve arranged it as a high-energy duet! The most difficult part of this arrangement is the heavy use of syncopation. Syncopation means that we are hitting off the beat. This can be tricky as playing off the beat doesn’t come as natural as playing on the beat.
There are two learning approaches we can take for tackling this with the first being to play by ear. This will be the easiest way, as you simply have to memorize the beats. For example, to do this, listen to bar 4 (ukulele #2 part). After you listen to it (looped, if needed), sing back the strum pattern. This will help you memorize it.
The second approach is to view it from a rhythmic standpoint. Which looks like:

Listen to this measure being played at 90 and then 60 BPM:

The second approach requires an understanding of rhythmic notation. As these rhythms are tricky, I’d recommend counting sixteenth notes out loud and clapping on the beats before putting it onto the instrument. If you really want to gain a deep understanding of rhythmic notation, there is no better way than by learning to read standard notation [READING COURSE LINK BELOW].
Lastly, with 16th notes, remember to strum down on the downbeat and up on the upbeat. This looks like:
1 (down)
e (up)
& (down)
a (up)

I really admire Andrew teaching hard songs, the masses want easy, thanks!
Thanks, Guy!
This looks so stinking hard but as you lead us step by step and I replay, I can’t believe that I’m actually getting it!! It has been tedious and slow but I hope with repetition it will flow faster eventually. Thank you so much for the GREAT tutorial! I enjoyed Evan’s amazing performance but will likely never get that fast!
This song on ukulele requires heavy skills. And player is excellent.
Finaly, honoka and azita song!
So happy to finaly be able to learn this song but so sad I have nobody to play with..
Ask on our forums! Maybe someone will do a duet with you :)

Which app was used in mixing the audios? Can u tell me please I really need it
We use DAWs (digital audio workstations) to record the audio with direct input for the ukes and/or mics. You can learn more about how we record in our free recording course: rockclass101.com/ultimate-guide-recording-ukulele/
I've got some problems with chucking chords that have many open strings, could you give me any tips?
There's two ways to chuck, which I talked about in this video: th-cam.com/video/COU-HNckFoA/w-d-xo.html. The one used in this song is not the slap/pluck method (lesson on that: rockclass101.com/add-a-backbeat-to-your-rhythm-playing/).
Therefore, when you chuck, your right hand should mute the strings (both open or fretted) with the attack. Work on that and if you still need help, please post a video playing on our forum. I'll be better able to help if I can see/hear what you are doing: rockclass101.com/forums/forum/rock-class-101-ukulele-lessons/
@@RockClass101 Thanks for help, I think I figured it out
How long did it take you to learn this?
To be honest, I can't recall. If I had to guess, I'd say a week. I know it sounds fast, but that's working on it a lot each day. Also, please don't use how long it takes us (the teachers/performers) as a benchmark for how fast you should learn it in. Everyone learns at their own pace.
what kind of uke is that?
It's a tenor sized Kamaka Ukulele :)
@@RockClass101 thank u
