Grab your uke and let's learn the Ink Spots classic 'The Java Jive'.  A quick little strum along with the backing track to start things off and then we dive into the Ink Spots intro. Variations of this introduction were on nearly every tune they recorded.

Then we move on to a bunch of chord variations that you can play on the tune all outlined in the lesson and PDF. I've included in the second part of the lesson the original chord changes to the bridge which are a bit more fun to me than what the Ink Spots played. The Ink Spots had such an iconic version of this tune that nearly every version recorded uses their chord and lyrics changes.

If you enjoy deep dives like this join us over on the The Tin Man's Magic Ukulele Club where we do even deeper dives into songs with new lessons every week. During the month of October we'll be studying 'How High the Moon' with an arrangement based on the Les Paul version including five video lessons, two live streams, a backing track and more.
