The Gorillaz genre-splitting music all started with this album. Damon Albarn’s craft of writing music seems effortless. Let’s learn to play some songs on this album.
Today we are learning to play 5/4, Clint Eastwood and Rock The House. The video below will give you an idea of what the ukulele tabs will sound like.

5/4
The timing for this is unconventional. Surprisingly, its in 5/4. All that means is that usually, we would count in sets of 4. This time we are counting up to 5 instead.
A |-----3-3-3-----------|-----3-3-3-----------|----| E |-3-3-1-1-1-3-3-6-6-6-|-3-3-1-1-1-3-3-6-6-6-|-3--| C |-0-0-------0-0-3-3-3-|-0-0-------0-0-3-3-3-|-0--| G |---------------------|---------------------|----|
Rock The House
This is a simple but lovely lick to play on the uke. Its a little bit nippy but it shouldn’t trouble you if you are a beginner.
A |-3-2----------0-------0-3-2-5-2-0--------0-|
E |-----3----1-3-------1------------------1---|

Clint Eastwood
I’m playing this on a ukulele with a low g string. But, it still sounds decent on a uke with a normal high G. I found it easiest to bar the third fret for the first note and then slide it up to the 6th for the chords.
