This month's Live Lesson: "Time After Time" by Cyndi Lauper

This song is a favorite of mine (you can find a guitar version on my 2nd album, doppelganger).  Someone requested it during 5@5 a couple of weeks ago, and I've had it in my head ever since.  It's been fun to adapt it to the ukulele (although I might still prefer the guitar version!).  Hear a preview in tonight's 5@5, it's the first song (and as a bonus, I played the guitar version at the end of the livestream).

You might notice that the rhythm of this song is similar to another Cyndi Lauper we've worked on, True Colors - watch the True Colors play-along here to refresh yourself of that arrangement, and review the Patreon lesson here.  I'm attaching it here so we can talk about the similarities during the lesson.

We'll warm up with a review of last month's lesson, "Take On Me."

A note about our monthly Live Lessons

My goal is to teach and arrange a lesson that is interesting for all levels. I will walk through the lesson by starting with beginner-level strumming, and gradually layer on more challenging options for advanced players.

I encourage you to play at your level, and embrace your own pace of incrementally leveling up. You can re-watch the lesson as many times as you like. Grasp the basics on the first go-round, and each time you review, you'll pick up new tips and techniques. You can use this method to become a better student and better learner - by building more awareness and more patience. :)
