Something - The Beatles - Ukulele Tutorial - with the solo for uke!

[@DennisLovelady]

Solo starts at 9:31, 16:44. Man, I love how you’ve done this. Rumor has it that George Harrison wrote this (and Here Comes the Sun) on ukulele. Your tutorial points toward that being more than likely. Thanks for this!

[@GregoryEvansMusic]

Thanks so much! Glad you liked it!

[@xxburn77xx]

I do not really know about how he wrote Something, but he definitely wrote Here Comes the Sun in the garden of Eric Clapton with a guitar he borrowed from that very man! But I understand your point, I also noticed that so many Beatles songs are very easy to play on ukulele... easy to play but still tunes no one else could have possibly imagined

[@wylancslass]

Gregory this is a great tutorial. You have a good singing voice too. It's quite soothing watching you teach, play and sing actually. Thanks for this. Wish you had time to do more Uke tuts. You are great!

[@GregoryEvansMusic]

That is such a heart warming compliment! Thank you so so much, it really means a lot to me.

[@valeale2812]

best tutorial of this song by far

[@GregoryEvansMusic]

Thank you!

[@xxburn77xx]

thank you for showing how to play the solo! Really enjoyed the tutorial

[@GregoryEvansMusic]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Just wanted to say thanks for breaking down the solo portion.

[@GregoryEvansMusic]

You’re welcome and thank you!

Great tutorial and best version of Something

[@GregoryEvansMusic]

Thanks so much!

[@raypeal1876]

Great Tutorial! Thanks for taking your time and explaining this! I've been playing for three weeks and was able to keep up. WOOP!

[@GregoryEvansMusic]

Thanks!

[@sonnycrockett2079]

Thanks my Brother......very cool. PS:.....That funky A at the 4th fret you can bar also, instead of reachin’ with that pinky!

[@GregoryEvansMusic]

Thanks!

[@kevinegan3372]

Great tutorial. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills.

[@brenoazevedo6153]

Thank you so much for this!! I challenged myself to learn this song, which I love, about two years ago, even not being so advanced at the uke Now I'm so close to play all through it and I'm feeling glad! Peace ☮️

[@GregoryEvansMusic]

Thanks so much!

[@baileycannon3777]

Just looked this song up to learn and someone else had a tutorial but the solo was only available to buy on their patreon, glad you came through and delivered! Amazing tutorial, and amazing teacher!!

[@GregoryEvansMusic]

Thank you!

[@leahhsayshello]

I would love a tutorial for Day Tripper like this... it was so helpful with the solo and all!

[@GregoryEvansMusic]

That’s an interesting idea! I do have a guitar Day Tripper, but I never thought of a uke version. I’ll look into it.

[@sanjoseukuleleclub15]

@@GregoryEvansMusic I came up with four song sheets for Day Tripper. One in the original key (E) and another in the easier key of D (my favourite) and abridged versions (no instrumental) for both. The two riffs are so important to this song. I figured them out so those with re-entrant ukes can play them but they require ukes with more than 12 frets. You'll notice that the fingering pattern/sequence is the same for both riffs, just on different frets. GA- SJUC

[@GregoryEvansMusic]

I’ll check them out!

[@yindyamarra]

I do D the same, I’m glad you showed that I thought I was doing it wrong,this is a great vid

[@GregoryEvansMusic]

I’m so glad you liked it!

[@gavinvastola6788]

Thank you Greg I am getting better

[@robbynwilfong6347]

Exactly what I was looking for.

[@GregoryEvansMusic]

Thanks!

[@twistysticks1]

Nice tutorial. Be interesting to know the background chords to the solo so I could try it with my partner.

[@GregoryEvansMusic]

Thanks! That's a great question, the chords for the solo are exactly the same as a singing verse. So just strum the chords and sing the words in your head and it comes out perfect.

[@henridederen7262]

The best tutorial for Something on ukulele! Thank You! Is it still possible to get the solo tab? Couldn't find it.

[@patrickrodgers7319]

My fav Beatles song

[@GregoryEvansMusic]

Thank you very much! I really do appreciate your encouragement!

[@Porsche997C4S1]

How fun! Thanks for the lesson. It is easier for me to reach over and barr the top three strings with my thumb. I guess whatever works. 😉

[@GregoryEvansMusic]

Yes! Using the thumb is not wrong! Keep up the good work!

[@richardpalladino9169]

First decent lesson thanks

[@GregoryEvansMusic]

Thank you so much!

[@garlandolberding7644]

Simple, fun, easy.

[@GregoryEvansMusic]

Thanks!

[@grayguil]

Thanks for your great tutorial, yours is easy to follow as I can see your fingers on the strings. I will never be able to the slidey solo notes though lol. I love this song!

[@GregoryEvansMusic]

Thank you! Never say never! You can do it! Just try to make one slide work, the rest will follow.

[@pallavihandique9971]

[@GregoryEvansMusic]

Not yet, but that’s a good idea!

[@brianodonnell586]

Many thanks for this version this is the George Harrison song I heard in a tribute to George that inspired me to learn the Ukulele. My favourite song of his. Could you let me know the Strumming Pattern for this if you don’t mind. Sorry I really am a Newbie. But would love to play this as my first song. I seen a clip of Jake Shimabukuro playing the wee intro. Many thanks for this full version. Really well explained a Real Tribute to George.

[@patricialozano7248]

Great solo tutorial! It was the cherry on top that i needed to complete the song. I had been learning the song from Jumpin' Jim's '60s Uke-in book and it didnt include the solo. Your notes are similar so works out great! Thanx!

[@GregoryEvansMusic]

Great! Glad you like it!

Man, you are a real pro!

[@GregoryEvansMusic]

Thank you very much! I really do appreciate your encouragement!

[@muddymuddymuddmann]

Aaahhh. All is perfection... minus a small kick in the k k knerdlies on the high notes. Perhaps a duet with a field goal kicker might open a few eyes as to your awesomeness oh great one. But I for one thoroughly enjoyed the performance. Great lesson.

[@GregoryEvansMusic]

Thanks!

[@rhondalyn100]

Wow...amazing...and thank you!

[@GregoryEvansMusic]

Thanks! It one of my favorite songs of all time!

[@Teeum5]

Your singing is good... so what's the problem? Thank you for this tutorial. I love this song... perhaps I will manage to play some day... What is missing a little bit is the name, or even better a chord diagram, during your explanation. And now at the very end my I dare ask you: wouldn't you be interested in doing a tutorial on "I'd rather go blind" by Etta James?There aren't so much tutorials out for this one on youtube...

[@GregoryEvansMusic]

Thanks! I don't know for sure what singing does for anybody trying to learn uke, it does give students a sense of how the song should go. I have started to include the chord diagrams in videos so that's a great suggestion. I also told viewers in this video to go to the San Jose uke club website and download their own copy, which takes just minutes. This song has a lot of tab so having a paper copy in front of you while I go through this song is the best.

[@teresamiles8659]

Where can I find the solo tab on your website? I only see your ebook for guitar available. Thanks!

[@PaulDPearl]

Great tutorial but I'd like to get the tab to go with it, however, it looks like the account has expired - any chance there's a google doc or a secret URL for the other website which is still up?

Hey where are the solo tabs on your website? Having a bit of trouble finding it on there 😅

Give me an email address and I'll send it to you.

[@annabeljustice9087]

Do you have any advice for a lefty that’s looking to buy an affordable, but good acoustic guitar?

[@annabeljustice9087]

By the way, I love this tutorial! I hadn’t been able to find the solo on uke until I found this video.

[@GregoryEvansMusic]

My advice would be to go to the Sweetwater.com site and look for guitar is there that are in your price range, you can also call them up on the phone and ask them. It depends what you want to spend. They are really good about sending guitars back to them if for some reason you don’t like it. And they can tell you what they have in stock as far as left-handed guitars.

[@poulladulay1255]

Hi Sir! I downloaded the solo tab on the link you provided. Just want to clarify what are those encircled numbers below the staff? Thank you

[@GregoryEvansMusic]

Those are my suggested left hand fingers to use for the note above. If you watch the video and the tab together it will make more sense.

@@GregoryEvansMusic Hello and Thank You! My neighbor plays guitar and asked me (me?!?!) to play duet with him on this song. Little did know that George Harrison is the love of my life. I accepted the challenge. He said not to worry about the solo because he's got it down. I'm already feeling cozy with this beautiful song. But, for my own sake. I must learn the solo. I searched specifically for it. Here you are! What a blessing! I'll be hitting Replay slot! May I email you for the tabs also? ~Mary 🌺

Jason Anderson it’s a D, I’m playing it with my 2,3,4 fingers.

[@kayellis2803]

which guitar is best to buy for beginners ??

[@GregoryEvansMusic]

That's a hard question to answer, unless I have a student standing right with me in the music store. Electric guitars are easy to push down the strings (usually called action) and they are physically smaller. But if a student likes acoustic music then obviously that's the kind of guitar they should get. The size of the guitar is important, kids and sometimes women like smaller body guitars because obviously they are easier to hold. Price matters also, in guitar world you can buy relativity inexpensive guitars that play and sound good. One good thing to do is go to a music store and play the guitars that are appealing. Try out different sizes and shapes and prices. Play really expensive guitars and really inexpensive guitars so you can compare.

[@haroldrull4943]

I suggest Martin HD -28

[@annrosenbaum8477]

Anyone have the tabs for the solo? His website isn't working anymore 😢

[@fansakmal2590]

beatless

[@GregoryEvansMusic]

OK, I’m not exactly sure what you mean by that, yes there are large sections of this video where there is no beat because I am teaching how to play the cards or the strum pattern or the lead notes.
