Ukulele Christmas Song 4 - Joy To The World

The next song we're looking at is Joy to the World, and we're picking up the pace with this one, we are looking at a harder strumming pattern. That strumming pattern is down, down, down, up, down, up. There's a little bit of a swing to this, so uh when we do the ups, the ups are a little bit delayed, but you'll get the feel for this, just think of. Down, down, down, up down, up. So that was da da da da da da, rather than da da da da da da. No it's the, the other one sounds quite aggressive da da da da da da. We don't want the aggressive one, we want the fun one. So the fun one is da da da da da da. da da And we just do that, it's a good idea to tap it first, just to make sure you get it. da da da Down, down, down, up, down, up, and we use that strumming motion with our first finger, down, down, down, up, down, up, and then we add this chord progression to it. Now of course we've got to get the chords working first, so joy to the world. We're gonna just stay on this C chord uh for all the first line and then change to the F, G, and C. Joy to the world. The Lord has come. Earth receive her king. OK. With the strumming. is. Alright, so we'll do this slow first of all, uh, that first finger just needs to glide over those strings, so be very light. If the up strums feel weird, just do a few up strums, just on their own, and then do a few downs. Just to get used to the feeling. And then down, down, down, down down down, just like we tapped earlier. And that's really, you're just trying to keep keep that rhythm going while taking a look at which chord that you're going for, OK, but the basic chords, joy to the world, the Lord has come, F and G to C. Every heart prepare him room and heaven and nature sing, and heaven and nature sing. That's a G chord, and heaven and heaven. Nature sing optional. Quicker change at the end, but that's hard to do with the strumming pattern. So let me show you how this goes together and then you choose how much difficulty you're adding for this one, just have some fun with it. We'll get the strumming pattern going first of all, Down, down, down, up, down, up, in 234. come We see Stand that seat. is OK. At the end there, we can do and. But that's an optional, harder extra, that last line would be, and. then As for the harder 11 more playthrough from the top, a little bit slower. 12. I
