Indigo Girls
This month we are diving into a tune that I fell in love after my wife went to see Brandi Carlisle in concert. Her version really hooked me and I’ve also had the original version by the Indigo Girls in my listening rotation. The beginner and intermediate arrangements evoke a little more of the original driving strumming feel. For the advanced arrangement we’ll be working on a more technical fingerpicking pattern along with a some fun chord shapes in the key of A. Check this live version and enjoy the rest of their Tiny Desk Concert. Not much out there for ukulele and this tune but I did find this sweet version that is close to the advanced version we’ll be learning…maybe one of you can upload a new inspiring version at the end of the month!
