How to Play 'I Got A Feeling' on the Ukulele Are you ready to groove and get your hands moving over those ukulele strings? If so, let's dive into one of Black Eyed Peas' most iconic hits: 'I Gotta Feeling.' This catchy tune has been a dance floor favorite for years thanks in large part to its infectious beat and easy-to-learn chorus. In this article, we'll break down the chords you need to know and provide step-by-step instructions on how to play along with Fergie's soulful vocals.

Chords

Before diving into the actual tablature (tab), let's quickly cover the basic chord progression used throughout 'I Gotta Feeling.' The song primarily relies on four simple chords: C, Em (E minor), and a brief appearance of G. Don't worry if you're new to ukulele - these are some of the easiest chords in rock music.

C Chord

The C major is one of the most common chords used across many different styles of music. To play it on your uke, place your left index finger directly behind the third fret (the first dot from the top) with your ring and middle fingers held down at the second and fourth strings respectively.

Em Chord

Moving onto our next chord: E minor. This is a bit trickier than C since you'll need to use both hands but don't worry, practice makes perfect! To play Em on ukulele:

1st Finger - Place your index finger directly behind the 2nd fret (the second dot from top)

3rd & 4th fingers should be held down at the bottom of their respective strings.

G Chord

Finally we have our last chord: G major. This is similar to C except that instead of placing your left hand's index finger on the third string, you'll want it resting across all three strings (1st -3rd) with only your pinky finger not being used at all!

Now that you know how to play each individual note let's put them together into a full song! Here are some tips for playing 'I Gotta Feeling' along:

- Start slow and gradually increase the tempo as you become more comfortable.

- Emphasize certain beats in every bar by slapping or strumming harder on those notes - this will give your performance more energy!
