Cool! Last year, I did that song with a young ukulele student. I arranged it for two ukuleles with him doing the melody and me the chords. I even transcribed the little introductory interlude that happens just before that scene in the movie. That stretched my ears a bit! You do it in F like we did. Great lesson!

I love that interlude! I need to right down that riff...it could be a lot of fun to play with :)

Classic stirring orchestral Hollywood film scoring at its best! The catchy, swingin' little riff after the stormy interlude, is easy and is a nice way to kick the song off before stating the melody. @@Banjoleletinman

I have a very simple version, so I had to watch your take on it. I figured it’d be prettier than mine (I was right), and not similar in any way (I was wrong). mine uses F, Am, Gm7, and C7. you never use more than two fingers, and the two “riffs” are done by lifting and replacing one finger. actually made a mini-lesson on it some time ago. I’ll likely stick with mine. it gives me a chance to show off my whistling a bit and I’m not likely to screw up the chord progression.😊

That's the beauty of a tune like this...so many different chords can work! Every song needs some more whistling...especially this one!

Your tutorials are very helpful for me. I am slowly absorbing the information. Probably need multiple reviews but that is good. Thanks

Much slower than this! over there we take the time to go over things more in depth. This lesson is a portion of a series on the song singin' in the rain that has 4 lessons (including a longer version of this one) as well as two (now pre-)recorded livestreams working on the tune.

Truthfully, I don't like level 5 at all. It doesn't sound like the song anymore.. I'm a beginner but I think simpler is better.

@Banjoleletinman 3 ай бұрын

I absolutely agree with you on that! It’s fun to explore reharmonizations but in practice simpler is almost always better :) those chords in level 5 I would use sparsely if playing with a full band and someone else was holding down the full harmony but without that they lack context of the meat and potatoes of the tune.
