Three Simple Christmas Songs on Ukulele

Since we are in the Christmas month and some of them have no idea what to do with their long-abandoned dusty ukulele, here are some simple Christmas songs for you to start playing back.

Learn now to play it under the Christmas Tree during Christmas Day with everybody sing along!
That's the best and easiest chords i can come out with myself playing by ear.
Hope it helps.

Tutorial for Sweeter than Fiction by Taylor Swift

Didn't know anything about this song until few days ago a friend of mine posted it on my FB wall.
"Sweeter than Fiction"is a song by Taylor Swift for this movie called "One Chance".
Taylor Swift and the movie

What makes me come out with this video is that a few visitors actually dropped a message in my inbox asking for some real simple chords to play this song as they are still a beginner struggling with their guitar playing.

Chords transposition(moving a key from one to another) is the most amazing part of this song. The verses and chorus are actually played in different key and the transposition works perfectly fine producing a music sounds like the combination of pop and country.

Here you go.
Another new song by Taylor Swift,
Sweeter than Fiction.

Guitar tutorial with basic easy chords 許廷鏗 - 面具（改編至陳勢安-天后)

This is a song of don't know how many years ago but the catchy tune just stuck in my mind i can't even get rid of it when i was dreaming last night. The first time i heard was actually yesterday ( in the car ) only to realize the song is originally by a local singer before they came up with different versions. Obviously i don't know how to sing this song so i feel like something is missing when i'm actually playing it with guitar. *Sigh i have to turn on my speakers and play along with it.

I recorded a short clip last night for fun ( it wasn't the whole song though) and now i have the simple steps of playing posted up at here in case you need.

This evening passed pleasantly enough with all the jokes, memories, and laughter sharing with all my beautiful girls over the dinner.The happiest moment during our school time is gone but they will not forgotten for a lifetime.

Good night !

愛的海洋

爱的海洋 (Love Ocean )

词曲：曲婉婷 (Lyrics and Music by Wanting Qu)



身在他乡 志在远方

你的爱让我坚强

歌声荡漾 你为我鼓掌

沉浸在爱的海洋

 

从 不敢想 到 想去做 到 做到我想的

事实证明我并不像他们想像的那样脆弱

我只是需要一盏灯，一架钢琴，一支麦克风…

 

身在他乡 志在远方

你的爱让我坚强

歌声荡漾 你为我鼓掌

沉浸在爱的海洋

 

曾经想像过做一名医生救死扶伤

也曾想像过做律师，做记者，做奥运冠军，但是都没有结果

因为我最想要的是一盏灯，一架钢琴，一支麦克风…

 

身在他乡 志在远方

你的爱让我坚强

歌声荡漾 你为我鼓掌

沉浸在爱的海洋

Repeat Chorus

You tube video response-Strumming Pattern tutorial of "Everything has changed"

The strumming patterns for ukulele are actually pretty much the same as when you play a guitar. I feel kinda awkward when my friends or people who have watched my videos asking what kind of strumming patterns i was using in the video and honestly i do not have any specific strumming patterns to use whenever i play a song.It depends on how you want it to sound like.

And one thing, i do not have any proper lessons on ukulele or guitar before i am just learning everything from you-tube and am trying hard to find a way out hoping the things and steps i am showing in the video are able to answer your question.

Youtube video response being disabled so i decided to post it here and again, thanks for watching and asking a noob like me.

Don't forget, practice makes perfect.

Just remember this : Down Down   Up Up Down    Down Up Down Up

If you have any song that you feel like to learn and play but have no idea at all with the chords and strumming patterns, guitar or ukulele, FIND ME ! LOL! I have no problem at all finding the chords and strumming patterns in just about 20 minutes time! XD

Everything has changed (Ukulele)

I was in the car yesterday night when this song was playing in the car on the way home.
I didn't know it at all until.....
He : "You know what song is this?"
Me : " Whooo she sounds like sooo Taylor Swift.......what song is this?"
He : "Are you serious? You don't know this song at all? Thought you're a huge fan of her ! How come you not know? "
Me : ............................
Because he's a huge fan of Ed so he loves this song tooo much that he wanted to learn how to play it on ukulele. Erm...him...basically....he has that cute little ukulele, he likes to sing but he doesn't know how to play....at all.LOL

He : "Pleaseeeee teach me i'm dying to play and sing it..."

Just so you know lar i'm not really good in playing guitar or ukulele but i just have that ability to play it (sometimes in different key lar..)without reading the tabs or chords (in fact i don't know how to read because i don't even have a proper lesson for any of those) after hearing a few times.
I played that song from my computer over and over again this morning until i got really attached to it.Seriously niceee....
To me they are like match made in heaven.So perfect when they sing together.                        
In this video i'm showing anyone of you who wanna learn this song how to play it using ukulele.Trust me.Very easy.You can just go to the store get one ukulele and start learning and you will be able to play the whole song after 10 minutes.(If you're familiar with this song).I'm using those real simple chords and if you want to sing it in original key please put your capo on the 4th fret of ukulele.For guitar,4th fret also,but using different notes to form the same chord.

Everything has changed
by Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeren
