Hi Deb, yes High G. Like you’ve noticed, low G will sound a bit off at times.
You can use the slow down feature on the tab viewer in “audio only” or “synthetic” mode to slow it down to 25% speed. The “video” mode will only slow down to 50%. You can reference the second video on this page (jump 6 minutes into it) if you need to refresh on using the tab viewer: https://rockclass101.com/learning-paths/
The 3rd (A) and 7th (Eb) define a chord. The root (F) and 5th (C) can be omitted. This is something we talk about in our theory course: An Introduction to Music Theory & Jamming. I’d highly recommend to check out the course to learn more about chord theory.
Hi DW, I fixed the sheet music, if you want to re-download it. Here is the chord:
It contains: F A C Eb (1 3 5 b7)
There are 2 A’s because the fourth string fret 2 is the same pitch as the open A string.
Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for pointing this out!
Well done andsant007, bravo! I always encourage everyone to feel free to put your own spin on these arrangements, I dig what you did!
That’s great Deb! Keep it up, you are rocking!

Wow, amazing Ellie! Very well played 🙂 My only suggestion for you is to work on smoothing out some of the transitions in the second melody, but other than that, bravo! Keep up the good work!
What lesson is this from? That is labeled wrong, I’ll have to fix it. I have tried my best to notate all chords correctly, although there was a bug in Guitar Pro 6 which would show a natural and a sharp for the same note. As much as I tried to correct it, I wasn’t able to. They have released GP7 and it seems to have resolved some issues.
Hi Ellie, listed under “Ground Rules” in our first post, members are required to self-host their video or audio files.
For video, I recommend YouTube. It’s free and easy to set up. Here’s a link to get started: https://www.youtube.com/create_channel

Great playing brabbit! I do have one suggestion for you, which is the same thing that Deb is working on: Timing. You have a tendency to speed up and slow down, but the goal is to keep our timing constant. So I would recommend to watch and read the advice that I left for Deb and apply it to your practicing for this song.
It may be best to slow it down a notch while you practice. Focus on playing and counting out the rhythms along with a metronome or the on-screen tab viewer. Let me know if you have any questions and keep me posted on your progress. Keep up the good work!
Wow Deb, big improvements! You are rocking now! Please share your practice routine and how you applied changes, that will def help other members 🙂 Keep up the great work!
Donna, you and Deb are cracking me up with the smiles 🙂 Very well played! I can tell you put a lot of work into it, bravo! I do have one piece of advice for you, it’s actually the same thing that I pointed out for ser_ser in this post. Take a look at that video as it addresses some tips to prevent the C string from ringing out when playing the first note of the song.
That was fantastic MT! And I love the shirt 🙂 Target your practice for that chord transition (D7 to G) and you’ll be rocking and rolling, great job!
Nice playing Jake, very clean! One suggestion: the licks between the snaps are eighth note triplets, but you played them as swung eighth notes. So I’d go back and work on playing the correct rhythm for those parts. Great job overall!
This video will help you understand that rhythmic section:
Check out this video below (starting 53 seconds in) as it goes more in-depth into properly holding the ukulele. You should be able to sit up straight and perform. The soprano uke can be awkward for awhile, due to its small size. Let me know how it goes.
Hi Nick, can you log out and re-log in again and then try to access the full lesson. Let me know if that fixes the issue.
Hi Nick,
I always advise to begin with the major scale, as it’s the parent scale from which all is derived. Check out module 3 in this course: An Introduction to Music Theory & Jamming. You’ll be able to learn 5 positions of the major scale that span the entire neck. The course teaches you how to alter the scale to create other scales, specifically the minor pentatonic; which is a commonly used scale for blues soloing. We’ll be looking at the key of C, easier than A as it contains no accidentals.
The course also examines how I wrote the blues solos for Concept Lesson EP005. Another great lesson that you should check out is Uke Blues. Lots of licks you can steal in this one.
