Soko - I Will Never Love You More
When I mentioned Soko in my best of 2007 posts, I had no idea she was a ukulelist. Not long after that post, I Will Never Love You More cropped up on her MySpace. I decided right then I’d have to put up the chords, but it wasn’t until I saw the above video at La vidéo ukulélé du jour that I got my arse into gear.
The chords are very simple: just C and G in the verse with F and G7 for the other sections. It’s a bit trickier to recreate her strumming pattern. First she plucks the G string with her thumb, then strums up, down, up with her index finger.
Well, it’s a pleasure to get you on the tracks… Now I can add approximative uke playing to my annoying whistling of this song. Many thanks, and be sure my relatives wish you a cruel a painful death…
i can’t wrap my brainwaves around that strumming pattern. Maybe it’s the jingling that’s throwing me off.
Pompon: Give your relatives my apologies.
heyrenee: If you can’t get the hang of it, a simple up, down, up, down strum should work fine.
I was playing along and something didn’t sound exactly right…
I think Soko plucks the G string with her thumb, then strums C up and down and then moves her finger down one fret on the A string and plucks or strums up, then plucks the G string again and strums G up, down, up, and so on…
something like that. Does that sound right?
