The Devine Feminine album was my first real introduction to Mac Miller. I heard songs like Knock Knock years ago but just kinda brushed them off. I wish i never as i immediately fell in love with DF when i listened to it. Let’s learn to play the opener Congratulations on the ukulele.
What Are We Learning To Play?
Below is a video of what you will be able to play by the end of this post.
Ukulele Tabs
This is a fingerpicking song and Im using a low G ukulele to play it. However, I tested it on a conventional high G and it sounds equally good.
Start by placing your index finger on the 6th fret of the C string. Then use your middle finger for the next note on the 7th fret. This is going to leave your ring finger perfectly placed for the 7th fret below on the E string. While your’e playing those two 7th frets get your index finger ready to drop down at hit that 5th fret on the A string. Likewise, your pinky finger will be ready for that 9th fret at the start of the next section.
The rest of the intro is pretty straightforward as we have lots of space in-between playing each part.
