If we’d had a summer this year rather than floods and tornadoes, this would have been the hit of the summer.
The song samples Stand By Me, so you can learn two chord progressions for the price of one. It also makes it well worth learning to play the bass riff mixed in with the chords.
I think the chords and the riff sound even better in D-tuning.

Do you have any tips for switching from D to E?
Hi, Anna. I’ll try to write a post about changing from D to E.
hey, i got brand new ukulele today, my mahalo broke in ibiza, big mistake taking it there, was just wondering if u cud help with the strumming of this song, i cant seem to make it sound right! xx
In my opinion, the easiest way to switch from D to E is to play D by barring the G, C, and E strings with your index finger, instead of playing each string with a different finger. It is a little more difficult, but i find that it makes a much easier transition to E.
Thanks for the pointers, Nicky.
what is this strumming pattern?
I tried out a few strumming patterns, from A to F#m do Up Up Down x2, then the same thing from F#m to D, and you just do Up up down once for D and then once for E, then go back to A and do it twice and twice for F#m etc..
Mind you i play lefty, so its Down Down Up for me :P
hi all
i want to really learn the ukulele but i sort of dont know how to read the music
please help
big al: You might try starting with the beginner lessons.
Going from D to E is easy for me because the way I play tem is a little weird. I bar the top three strings with my thumb, over the neck. A bit unorthodox, but it sounds the same and works best for me!
Julia: I’ve yet to hear anyone use that technique and make it sound good. But if it works for you go for it.
Ive found that E7 sounds more accurate and easier to transition to from D :P
but that’s just me!
