If I Only Had A Brain // Ukulele Tutorial

I agree! Great songs from that movie!, Great song writer too! Harold Arlen!

[@ukemullum]

One of the greatest. Great to hear from you Rudy.

And if you're taking song suggestions, how about James Taylor's How Sweet it Is (to be loved by you) and You've Got a Friend? Thanks.

[@ukemullum]

Both likely candidates indeed.

Hello, I wanted to thank you for sharing such a wonderful lesson! I found it so much fun that I just had to learn it all the way through. Some of the finger positions I found challenging, but an excellent arrangement to stretch a skill :)

[@ukemullum]

I love you’re attitude Angelina. Thanks for this lovely comment.

[@dajo4349]

Quite the surprise, Stu! Thanks for your good sense of humor. I'm looking forward to being able to play this through after some practice and then some more practice...

[@ukemullum]

It’s a great tune to master. I try and do a take everyday without any mistakes. Keeps you on your toes.

I’m pushing 70 and have only been playing for about 10 months, on my own and with YT. I've been working on this piece about an hour a day, starting with 1/2, 3/4 and now normal speed but still have problems with a few chords so will see if I can make it through w/o mistakes at a lower speed first. I'm thinking of upgrading from an inexpensive Mitchell tenor, mainly because the headboard has a large point next to the A string tuner which interferes with my index finger knuckle and a nicer sound would be appreciated. I’ve been thinking about a Flight signature tenor that happens to come with electric pickups (may or may not use them) and am wondering what ukulele’s you like and might recommend as a step up. Patreon is also giving me a hard time after creating my first account with them last week, they deactivated it within a half hour. Now we’re emailing to straighten it out. Thanks again.@@ukemullum

Hiya @@dajo4349, Sorry to hear Patreon is being tricky for you. I'm not really a 'brand' guy so I don't have any recommendations except to say holding an instrument in your hands before you buy is always the best test. I have however seen some good reviews online for the flight ukes by some decent players... keep up the great work. So good for you!

[@dajo4349]

Thanks. Good advice. Got an email today saying my Patreon account is good to go, so went to your site, clicked on the heart and went to a completely blank Patreon page. Same as last time. The way you did this song offers so much, learning new chords, that off key part with fast strums near the beginning and tab with some melodic arrangements and well played by you. Thanks. @@ukemullum
