My Way - Chord Melody/Fingerstyle (Patreon)

Today's Ukulele tutorial is a fingerstyle, also known as chord melody tutorial, for the classic big band tune My Way made famous by Frank Sinatra's cover. I actually just got done hearing this song in the last episode of Cobra Kai. We did a strummer version of this one awhile back but after hearing it again I just fell in love with the melody all over, the big leaps, the cool half steps. So, naturally, I started to work out the chord melody and before long I had the entire song arranged and I loved it. I isn't too tricky, I did two versions of the verse. One that is open with lots of space and another that is filled with strumming. I have it set up that the first verse has space and the second verse is the one that has more strumming but you can play both verses in one style if you like the particular sound more than the other.
