Jason Mraz ” I’m Your’s – Ukulele Tutorial, Playalong

Ukulele Chords And Lyrics ( PDF ) Here 's my ukulele tutorial for " I'm Your's " by Jason Mraz. I pitched the chords one note, so that it's easier to play. You can download chords and lyrics by clicking on the link under the video. This is a Reggae tune. Learn to play the easy strumming first. Dampen the strings between the strums, so that you get this offbeat feeling. Try to keep a constant strumming pattern.
  • beat:      4/4
  • tempo:   76 bpm
  • key:        C
  • tuning:    G C E A ( high 4th )
Irie !

      Hi Kuane,

      just watched the Youtubevideo ” Cool Down ” by Kolohe Kai. Sounds great.
      At the moment I’m concentrating on doing songs from the charts, but I keep that in mind.

      Bye FriendlyFred

      Thanx Kaitlynn for watching and using the playalong.
      To be honest, I didn’t want to make a video about this song. Just not my cup of tea.
      But I got so many requests, that I did it. Now I think the song is ok.

      Best wishes FriendlyFred.

    Dumb question. But what does it mean high 4th? How do I pitch the strings to be higher? Is it A sharp for last string?

    Reply
    • Friendly Fred

      High 4th means the 4th string ( G ) is tuned 2 tones lower than the first ( A ), also known as reentrant tuning.
      Low 4th means the 4th string is tuned one octave lower.

      Cheers FriendlyFred.

      Try a straight offbeat rhythm first. Watch the beginning of the video and play only the doen strums when ” + ” is shown in the strumming pattern. That’s easier than the shown strumming pattern.

    I’m having a lot of trouble with this strumming pattern. I can’t seem to go up twice in a row! Any tips?

    Reply
    • Friendly Fred

      Hi Mallory, I would suggest to leave out the third strum. Then try to repeat it after the pause. Concentrate on the bass drum to catch the rhythm. Practise the strumming some days. Don’t think too much. Try to go with the flow.
      Hope that helps a little bit.
      Best wishes

    I’ve had my ukelele for a while but i never really tried using it. I recently tried using it but whenever I try to strum my fingers always get caught in the strings. If anyone could give me some tips or something to help me because I really want to learn the instrument. I’ve tried almost every website I can but I still need help. Anything will be appreciated. Thank you. 🙂

    Hi Friendly Fred, I will like to know how do you do that small little hammering part at the start of the song. Will really love to have that advice. Thank you.
