Such a beautiful and heartwarming album. Pure fun and personality impregnated in a diverse group of entertaining tracks. Lizzo’s genuine charisma and charm go a long way to make her self-empowerment messages actually convincing.
You might have noticed I wasn’t alone in this video. You may be thinking, hold up, why is that guy doing that to the microphone and why do I love it? This is Ukulele Simon – The Beatboxing Ukulele Guy. We have been chatting on Instagram for a while now and talks of doing something together have finally come to fruition. He’s a sleek uke player and his beatboxing skills are equally brilliant.

Truth Hurts
The first part is the opening riff that’s super recognisable. Altho this is tabbed for a low G it will still work with a normal high G ( what most ukuleles have ). The second part is the vocal line “why men great till they gotta be great”.

Tempo
This riff is 100% a finger blaster haha. It requires you to stretch your fingers all the way up the fretboard and quite quickly too. You are best using your pinky finger for the 9 on the first riff and the 13 on the second one. Each part is played 4 times.
A |-9-6-5-------------|--13-10-9---------------|

C |---------6-3-2--x4-|-------------9-7-6---x4-|
