Today's ukulele tutorial is the song "Bitter Sweet Symphony" by The Verve. Because the song is in the key of E and it is not a very easy chord to play on the ukulele I did two versions in the tutorial, on in the key of E so you can play along with the original recording and another on in the key of D so you can play and it sing it a little bit easier. The song is just a two bar loop that repeats throughout the entire song so in addition to teaching you how to play it and how it strum it I will also teach you the principal riff as well and even how to play the melody on the ukulele. The version in the key of D is also a complete tutorial with the principal riff, the melody in tabs for the ukulele and the chords and strum pattern as well. The song doesn't actually have a strum pattern but it has a very interesting rhythm with the snare and that is what I built the strum pattern off of.
