Glimpse of Us by Joji Ukulele Tutorial

Want to learn how to play "Glimpse of Us" by Joji on the ukulele? You're in the right place! If you want to play it in the exact same key as the original song, simply throw a capo onto your first fret. (If you need a capo, I link to my favorite affordable Kala and Amazon options in the gear section).

This is a highly requested, beginner-friendly tutorial. We're going to break down the chords, look at the insanely easy strumming pattern, and even touch on an intermediate fingerpicking intro for those wanting a challenge.

The 7 Chords You Need

I promise, the hardest part about this song is just remembering the chords! Take a minute to familiarize yourself with these seven shapes:

A minor

G Major

E minor

D Major

B flat

The Strumming Pattern & Intro

The strum pattern is incredibly straightforward. It's just steady down strums (1, 2, 3, 4) for each chord in the progression. It's perfect for beginners focusing on smooth chord transitions.

For the intro, you have options: you can just play the standard chords (Em, Am, D7, G), or if you want to try something more intermediate, follow the fingerpicking tutorial shown in the video.
