Harvest Moon (Neil Young) - Ukulele Tutorial & Play Along (Cover) - Easy Key w/ Lyrics & Chords

Ukulele Tutorial and play along (song cover) of "Harvest Moon" by Neil Young (released in 1992).

0:00 Chords
0:55 "Shuffle" Rhythm
1:15 Basic Strumming
1:46 Hook
2:33 Riff (optional)
4:13 Play Along (cover)

The key is transposed to C major so it is easier to play. (The original key is D major. If you want to match the original, please use a capo on the 2nd fret.)

I cover all chords first (there are 6 of them). Then I talk about the "shuffle" rhythm. I show some basic strumming patterns with the shuffle rhythm.
Then I demonstrate how to play the "hook", the repeatedly used musical section. In this song, it is used as intro and outro, and also played after every verse and chorus. I use a diagram to explain how to play.
As an option, I show how to play the "riff" that occurs at the beginning of verse section. I show the riff on the Ukulele tab and the chord diagram. I also use the playing video to show how to use fingers properly (RH and LH separately).
At last, I play & sing the song. The song cover accompanies with Lyrics and Chord diagrams in timely manner so it works as "Play Along." As I'm not a good singer, my singing voice is processed with software. I appreciate your understanding.
