How to play Postcards From Italy by Beirut on the Ukulele (via ukulaladotcom)
This is a tutorial video on how to play Postcards From Italy on the ukulele. It goes over the tuning, chords, hammer-ons, strumming, and timing. The song has two very distinct parts, and it switches from one part to the next in about the middle of the song.
This is a tutorial for beginners, but it is a somewhat advanced song that will take a beginner (like myself) a long time to learn and requires a lot of practice. Of course, the song is awesome and was originally played on a uke, so it’s a FUN kind of practice where the better you get the more it sounds exactly like the Beirut version.
