The Nearness of You | Jazz Ukulele Tutorial
Рет қаралды 3,468
Күн бұрынLet's learn the 1940 jazz standard by Hoagy Carmichael and Ned Washington: 'The Nearness of You' on ukulele in this quick tutorial.
Strum along with me as we practice the chords together and then play-along with the full band. This song has been a hit for everyone from Louis Armstrong to Glenn Miller To Norah Jones to Laufey and even Keith Richards. Don't let the amount of chords in here scare you away. With a few modifications it can be an approachable tune for any skill level.
Want to dive deeper into ukulele jazz? Join the Tin Man's Ukulele club where we'll be using this song as a learning vehicle throughout the month playing the melody, the chord voicings I play in the video as well as how to solo, and learn 12 turnarounds to replace chords all with a 9 page PDF and backing track to practice with plus two livestreams so we can practice together.

Your manner of teaching is done so comfortably making it accessible. Natural teacher. Chords and songs you pick make me suspect you hear the unique, harp-like beauty of that little uke.

Gorgeous, Christopher! These last two songs you've given tutorials on, After You've Gone and this one, really speak to me! So great that they share so many chords 😊 Thank you so much for the great lessons!

Beautiful! I love the way it sounds and you do a great job teaching! I just wish I could sing jazz - not exactly coordinated enough to figure it out! But I really enjoy listening to you sing and playing along :) Thank you for all your in-depth explanations.

I’d really like to learn ukulele but I’m worried I’m too old at 42 🫤

Never too old to start playing ukulele!

I didn’t start until my late 50s! Now I can’t imagine not playing! Singing and uke best entry point to music imo - with piano or keyboard for theory.

Disagree about singing - once felt the the same but everyone can just about finding your range. Instrument - definitely ukulele. Much easier to learn how to play songs which builds confidence which is the key to entering music world. Go on - you can do it!

@@KieranMcgovern Thank you. Will be buying one next week just don’t know which one. But the soprano seems to be the best for a beginner 🙂
