Swing tunes are a fabulous gateway into the world of jazz ukulele giving us an opportunity to learn the basic structures of songs before being intimidated by all of the chordal and soloing options that it affords us.
Grab your ukulele and strum along with me to the Fats Waller Classic 'I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter' (including the original Fats intro!). This play-along is a nice easy version of the tune for all levels Just watch out for that pesky Augmented Chord. It’s even in the same key as Fat’s Waller’s original recording if you want to jam along with his fabulous band.
Join us over on the Magic Ukulele Club for a in depth 6 part series on this song with over 3 hours of lessons going deeper into chord substitutions, how to construct a solo, two chord melody arrangements (one beginner and one advanced), as well as a special lesson for U bass Players.
