4x4xU - Lainey Wilson (play-along for guitar)

Details

Description

This is a screen-capture video from a TuneLing for "4x4xU" from the album "Whirlwind", by Lainey Wilson.

This song is also available in a separate TuneLing video for ukulele!

Notes:

Here's another hit from Lainey Wilson, who seems to be having a pretty great 2024 so far. It's straight-ahead modern pop-country from the Nashville machine, and she sings the hell out of it, as usual.

The videos are pretty self-explanatory but we'll call your attention to a few notable points:

1) There are full stops in bars 21 and 28.

2) There are syncopated G chords in bars 37 and 38 - note that the G chords start one-quarter-beat after the start of the fourth beat each time. You can hear this easily enough (and see it in our moving chart), if this explanation confuses you.

3) On the ukulele, the D and Dsus4 chords in bars 43-46 could certainly be played with the common three-finger shape instead of the four-string barre that we show - just be sure to add and remove the fourth finger instead of the second finger, where we've shown it, if you use the three-finger D shape.

Outside of those minor points, this one is fairly easy, and has just enough subtle touches to make it stand out above the crowd, especially when you consider Lainey's performance.

So dig in, and ENJOY!
