Today we are going to learn how to play "November Rain" by Gun'n'Roses on our Ukulele. There is a lot to unpack with this lesson so lets just start with the tuning. The song is in the key of B and to match the original recording you will have to tune your Ukulele down a half step. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmdStpEjbVM
I am going to teach you this song as a beginner version first so no matter what your level is you will be able to play the song and then once we get there we will start to take a lot look at all the other cool little details that make the song such an epic anthem. We will do a full play-along of the entire song as well so you will be able to practice it nice and slow until you feel comfortable playing the full song with all of the lyrics. Once we are in tune we will teach you the chords, to play the beginner version of the song you won't need any bar chords. After that we will teach you the bigger outro which does have barre chords and less used none bare chords. After that the full piano intro with tabs and then finally to cap it off both solo 1 and solo 2 so you can play either the lead of that rhythm when it comes to that part.
