In this ukulele tutorial we will be learning "Take Me Home, Country Roads" by John Denver in the key of C. I'd consider the level of this to be "Easy-Plus." The chords change fairly quickly in places and I introduce a half-barre chord (B-flat).

There's a ton of ukulele tutorials for just about every other genre, but there doesn't seem to be very many for the pure country style and folk songs out there. We need you to make that happen!! Come on Stephanie!

Thanks for the tutorial. Your version isn’t oversimplified (like “only four chords”) or too different from John Denver (like the Japanese anime version). I like that.

Thank you! I try to keep my versions as true to the originals as I can, or be upfront if I made changes (like the key in this video).

Hi thankyou for your tutorials!! My first song with you was “ you are my sunshine’ took a day to master it! Can I ask about transition from Am Chord to G chord, coz i see it is slightly different from other fingering taught, it doesn’t really matter which fingers to use right?

@StephanieDouglassMusic 3 жыл бұрын

Hi there, yes, any fingering is okay for those chords. Sometimes it depends on the context, what will make the smoothest transition. Some people feel more comfortable doing different fingerings, and that is okay too.
