Learn Nat King Cole's 'Smile' on Ukulele in Five Minutes

Smile is a classic song based on the Charlie Chaplin theme from Modern Times and premiered with lyrics by the great Nat King Cole in 1954. In this quick lesson we learn all of the chords and then give the tune a try with a full band. In less than five minutes you can be strumming away on this beautiful song.
This month on the Magic Ukulele Club we'll be taking a deep drive into this song with 4 full lessons and 3 livestreams, addressing the historical recordings, as well as understanding harmony, learning the melody, chord voicings up and down the neck and how to solo over the changes. All of this along with a backing track and 7 page PDF to accompany all of the lessons.
Join the club and learn one song each month along with 200+ other lessons, a music theory section, members slack channel, and access to all of my books and courses.
