'Uptown Funk' by Mark Ronson

Welcome to LESSON 7 of my series Learn 10 songs in 10 days for KIDS! 

Today, we'll learn a simple riff and bassline to one of the biggest songs of the 2010's - Uptown Funk by Mark Ronson ft. Bruno Mars! This can be played on either acoustic or electric guitar. 

We'll first look at the guitar riff higher up the neck, which is VERY easy and with a bit of practice ANYONE will be able to play this - even if this is the first time you have held a guitar!

The 'bass riff' is much harder, but many kids, teens and beginners will be able to do this with some practice!
