Welcome to day 2 of this free 10 day Ukulele starter course!

In this lesson, we're wasting no time and learning a modern Ukulele classic song; Rip Tide by Vance Joy!

This song uses just three chords for most of the song, which most people will have no problem changing between. It is the strumming that will be more challenging for many people. Follow my guidance in the video and you should be fine. If you struggle, try more of the suggested songs at the end of my day 1 videoto get your confidence up, then come back to this to give it another shot!
