The opening track from Swimming is beautiful and it sounds fantastic on the ukulele, so let’s learn to play it.

For this piece we are combining the main vocal line that Mac sings and the guitar chords. Admittedly, theres a whole lot going on when you look at the tabs. But….

 

Its a super laid back track and we can play it really slow and it still sounds awesome. So just take your time with it.
