Taylor Swift - Cruel Summer (Ukulele Tutorial) by Chairia Tandias

yuhuuu welcome back to my channel with me Ria today, I am going to teach you how to play Cruel Summer by Taylor Swift I noticed there are actually quite a few of you guys requested the song so yeah I'm finally doing it today and you guys know Taylor Swift just released her tour dates like- I really want to watch her concert but I'm really sad you know because she doesn't come to our country like like- the closest from my place would be in Singapore but then again in the Asian continents, I thin

k she only comes to Singapore and Japan, right? if I'm not mistaken and then I imagine there would be a lot of people fly to Singapore to watch her and then the tickets will be insane to get, don't you think? so I'm not being pessimistic just plainly realistic so that I don't- I don't get my hopes up and be disappointed in the end I also don't know how to do war tickets and all so- I don't know hopefully I can go watch her because she's my idol and all okay I'm taking this too seriously I'm sorr

y okay guys we only need to know five chords to play the entire song as usual, feel free to skip ahead if you already know the fingering position first chord we're going to play is G chord take our middle finger  place it on the second fret first string index finger second fret too but on the third string and our ring finger on the third fret second string next, we're going to play C chord take our pinky  and place it on the third fret first string and then after that we're going to play D chord

index finger place it on the second fret fourth string middle finger just below it and our ring finger just below our middle finger next, we're going to play Bm7 now we can actually do it this way this is D, right? we just put our pinky under our ring finger just like this or we can do it this way take our index finger and close everything on the second fret yeah last chord for this song will be Em7 we need to take our index finger  place it on the second fret third string and then our middle f

inger second fret too but on the first string so it's kind of similar like G G is like this, right? and this is Em7 to sound like the original song, we need to put a capo on the second fret like this and just play along with the chords but then again, like any of my other tutorials so that everybody can play let's not use capo, okay? we're going to play this strumming pattern for the intro and the verse yeah like this yeah so, during the intro we only need to play G chord strum it like that for

about four times but in the verse, we're going to play using a chord progression that is entirely different like that let's start playing from the intro until  the verse using the lyrics slowly, okay? so let's start with the- yeah that part, right? the intro verse fever dream high in the quiet of the night you know that I caught it bad, bad boy shiny toy with a price you know that I bought it killing me slow, out the window I'm always waiting for you to be waiting below devils roll the dice, ang

els roll their eyes what doesn't kill me makes me want you more so it's a bit different we only need to play C and D during those last parts, okay? and then we head straight to the chorus the strumming pattern for the chorus will be like this change and it's new the shape of your body it's blue the feeling I've got and it's ooh, whoa, oh it's a cruel summer it's cool, that's what I tell 'em no rules in breakable heaven but ooh, whoa oh it's a cruel summer with you and then second verse it's all

the same like the first verse are you ready to play in a faster tempo? hang your head low in the glow of the vending machine I'm not dying you say that we'll just screw it up in these trying times we're not trying so cut the headlights summer's a knife I'm always waiting for you just to cut to the bone devils roll the dice angels roll their eyes and if I bleed you'll be the last to know oh, it's new, the shape of your body it's blue, the feeling I've got and it's ooh, whoa, oh it's a cruel summe

r it's cool, that's what I tell 'em no rules in breakable heaven but ooh, whoa, oh it's a cruel summer with you anyway, we're going to still use the same chord progression G Bm7 Em7 and C but we're going to strum it using the verse strumming pattern yeah? I'm drunk in the back of the car and I cried like a baby coming home from the bar (oh) said, "I'm fine," but it wasn't true I don't wanna keep secrets just to keep you and I snuck in through the garden gate every night that summer just to seal

my fate (oh) and I screamed for whatever it's worth "I love you," ain't that the worst thing you ever heard? he looks up grinning like a devil it's new, the shape of your body it's blue, the feeling I've got and it's ooh, whoa, oh it's a cruel summer it's cool, that's what I tell 'em no rules, in breakable heaven but ooh, whoa, oh it's a cruel summer with you I'm drunk in the back of the car and I cried like a baby coming home from the bar (oh) said, "I'm fine," but it wasn't true I don't wanna

keep secrets just to keep you and I snuck in through the garden gate every night that summer just to seal my fate and I screamed for whatever it's worth "I love you," ain't that the worst thing you ever heard? that concludes today's tutorial I really hope you guys have fun playing this song because I think this song is really fun on ukulele I like Taylor Swift so much! anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed this video and hopefully this tutorial can be helpful if it does, please support me by giving it
