Summertime (Ukulele Cover)

In which Becki sings a George Gershwin song FTW.
(lyrics by DuBose, Dorothy Heyward & Ira Gershwin)

True words Beck. I'll start working on my version of this tune. I gotta finish fly me to the moon first but when I finally get this one done, I'll send it your way. Maybe I can squeeze some feedback outta ya! Keep up the good work.

[beckstraordinary]

Awesome! Do let me know!

[flipgroove]

Always loved this song, was looking for the chords to play on MY uke, thanks for that. But now I'm like, why bother? Nice phrasing and great singing.

[beckstraordinary]

Here's why you bother: Good songs need to be spread like peanut butter for everyone to get stuck on the roof of their mouths (if you're not accounting for those allergic to good songs).

Go for it! And thanks. :)

Do you have the tab for this song recognise B7/ Am/B7/Am, where do I go from there.

Cheers Stewpot

@beckstraordinary For the beginners, what are the tabs (cords / place) for those Dm A7 etc please ?

[chincheuke]

Becki, please, help :)

the second note you play (first Am, ok, second Em? how?) how can I play it?

and the main question.. in the part of "the coton ...", please, which note are you playing or how, cuz it seems really difficult for me to play an E there on the traditional way and I dont really know any other ways

THANK YOU!!

[Pilikiaman]

Very nicely done. I put your version right next to the late great Sam Cook rendition. Keep it up : ) Aloha

[pcreane]
