Somewhere Over the Rainbow - IZ | EASY UKULELE TUTORIAL

[@patricklundquist9869]

72 years old and I finally learned the right chords for Over the Rainbow. That song always reminds me of my daughter when she was three and wanted me to drive our car up on top of a rainbow to see things. And of course it also reminds me of Dorothy and the great Izzy. Thank you so much for this. And yes, I will drink my water and eat my vegetables and be a good person.

Chorus : C, Em, F, C, F, C, G, Am, F Verses: C, G, Am, F

[@oloobium]

Chorus: C, Em, F, C, F, C, G, Am, F DDU UDU (x2 each chord) Verses: C, G, Am, F DDU UDU (x2 each chord) Hope this helps anyone! Great tutorial :) I just got my ukulele a couple days ago and I've been improving a lot! Also, does anyone have tips for transitioning between chords? I tend to pause between the chords and it doesn't sound very nice.

[@hilarymiller1396]

when i am learning a new chord i have the same problem just keep practicing until you get better at each chord take it one step at a time

[@get_yonkered_lol1630]

You made my day

@@get_yonkered_lol1630 i’m glad !!

[@oloobium]

@@hilarymiller1396 yes ofc, the most important thing when practicing is so start off slow, just one step at a time

Lyrics bc why not Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh Somewhere over the rainbow Way up high And the dreams that you dream of Once in a lullaby Somewhere over the rainbow Bluebirds fly And the dreams that you dream of Dreams really do come true Someday, I wish upon a star Wake up where the clouds are far behind me Where trouble melts like lemon drops High above the chimney top That's where you'll find me Somewhere over the rainbow Bluebirds fly And the dreams that you dare to Oh why, oh why can't I? Well, I see trees of green and red roses too I'll watch them bloom for me and you And I think to myself What a wonderful world Well, I see skies of blue and I see clouds of white And the brightness of day I like the dark And I think to myself what a wonderful world The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky And also on the faces of people passing by I see friends shaking hands saying How do you do? They're really saying I, I love you I hear babies cry and I watch them grow They'll learn much more then we'll know And I think to myself what a wonderful world World Someday I wish upon a star Wake up where the clouds are far behind me Where trouble melts like lemon drops High above the chimney top That's where you'll find me Oh, somewhere over the rainbow Way up high And the dreams that you dare to Why oh, why can't I? Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh

My dad wanted to learn this song with me from a KZbin tutorial. We were using a different one, but he never gave me a link so I looked it up. Then I got so excited to see that one of my favorite musical KZbinrs had a tutorial for it 😃😃😃

[@weavesnatched5071]

My dear friend gave me a ukulele for my 53rd birthday containing your flyer and stickers. Here I am, a week later and I can play over the rainbow among my own little rifs! So much fun! I love it! Thank you!

[@aceofspades8272]

So, quick backstory: I got my ukulele for Christmas this year (it’s December 30th). When my great grandma died, her favorite song was the Hawaiian version of somewhere over the rainbow. My goal was to learn this and play it at a family reunion or something. Now I know how to play this song and I can’t wait for the next family get together! Thanks for reading

[@beetle7244]

Good for u!!

[@laura-vs6io]

Your great grandma would be very proud. Have you been able to play it for your family yet? ❤️

[@guiwald]

Very nice video! About the intro and end, there is a little change: C Em F C F E7 Am F (put a E7 instead of a C :) ) That's during the Ohoh part The intro itself uses a F9: C G Am F F9 F Thanks again for the video!

[@mossymoths2742]

Okay.. *WHAT* My mom and step-dad literally just told me to learn this song on my uke a few day ago and then you do this, can you read peoples minds?

[@roziakibli4490]

Hi Elise, You are the reason that I bought myself a ukelele. So far have been teaching myself and love it. Love the way you sing.

[@jeanparis1126]

I’ve been waiting for this for so long! Finally! ❤️ 😁

[@bellehudson5473]

Jean Paris me too! The original video is awesome, and now we can recreate it ourselves!

[@MandyPeach]

Thank you so much for teaching us this song. My old dog had passed away to this song playing back in August and I haven’t been able to listen to it since then. Today, I whipped out my ukulele and decided to learn to play this song and for once, I haven’t shed a tear. Thank you so much. 🙏🏼

[@agentp3282]

I have been trying to learn this song forever!

[@bulatmingaleev5088]

Самый понятный и простой разбор из всех доступных на ютуб , не смотря на то, что я не понимаю английский) большое спасибо)

[@piper1754]

Girl, I know you probably won’t respond to this but holy cow. 1.) you are so fricken beautiful. 2.) You have an amazing talent and 3.) thank you so much for posting this. Our trip to Hawaii was canceled and my mom’s birthday is coming up so I thought why not sing this song to her and play the ukulele. I was in All state Choir for Colorado and she keeps telling me to learn this song, so since we’re in quarantine and our trip was canceled, I knew it was the perfect timing. Thank you so much love!!💛

[@insertname5009]

The strumming pattern is hard until you get it, And if you just do it correctly, it sounds beautiful and i was like, “OMG, I CAN PLAY SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW!!!” I was so happy then i was just memorizing it then, thanks for the tutorial!

[@umyeah3677]

You’re so freaking pretty omg

[@cordock85]

[@youngatheart6167]

Thank you for this tutorial. I took up the uke because I have always wanted to learn a musical instrument to play this song. I went through many tutorials with various strumming pattern and finger picking on KZbin but your one is the quickest and easiest to learn from. Thank you so much!!
