It's not often that you find a jazz solo that fits the limited range of ukulele but When You're Smiling Gives us a unique opportunity to learn one from the master himself: Louis Armstrong. In this lesson we cover how to play this iconic solo from his 1929 recording. The best part is that three chords shapes are all you need to play most of it!
This month on the Magic Ukulele Club we'll be learning this solo, chord substitutions and more using this fabulous standard as a vehicle. Join us today to learn a new jazz standard each month, along with 200+ other jazz ukulele lessons, livestreams, backing tracks, and more for only $7.50 a month
