Thank you for your patience. The next three weeks I am on the road, which also includes camping in remote areas that have no interent. I will do my best to adhere to the Wednesday Saturday schedule but depending on the technology I have available to me there may be some slight changes in the schedule. This will only be for the next 3 weeks. 

Today we are going to learn how top play "Harvest Moon" by Neil Young on the Ukulele. This song is classic for that lovely intro groove that repeats throughout the start of the song as well as in the verse and as a bridge. The rest of the song is fairly basic, holding on to an Em7 for the entire verse and alternating one finger between the A7sus4 and A7 for the chorus. Songs that hold on one single chord for a long time can be a little bit tricky to song as you can get lost in the strum pattern a little bit so I will do my best to help you out with the key words as well so you can sing this lovely and *relatively* easy song on the Ukulele.

Will Improve

  • Resting on the 1st beat
  • Chromatic movement over a static chord
  • The 6 chord
  • The maj7 chord
  • The sus7 chord

Yep, it's a bit strange such a distinctive part of the original recording has been left out, but it's no surprise to me as I once saw a group of about 15 uke players do the very same thing.
