Need Help with Love Like You Tabs for Guitar and Ukulele

Introduction

Hey everyone! I’m diving into playing “Love Like You” from Steven Universe on my guitar and ukulele, and I could really use some help with the tabs. If you’re also digging this song, let’s share some resources and tips!

Finding Tabs

For starters, I found a few great sites that offer guitar and ukulele tabs specifically for this song:

  • Ultimate Guitar: They have multiple versions, so you might need to experiment to find the one that suits you best.
  • Chordify: This is a neat tool that transforms music from YouTube into chords, making it easier to follow along.
  • Ukulele Tabs: This site has dedicated ukulele tab versions and they’re really useful for beginners.

Playing Tips

For Guitar:

  • Fingerstyle: If you’re into fingerstyle, try out some arrangements that focus on hammer-ons and pull-offs to get the feel of the song.
  • Strumming Patterns: Work on a simple strumming pattern if you’re just starting out. A down-up pattern can really bring the song to life.

For Ukulele:

  • Simple Chords: Stick to the basic chords for a more straightforward version to begin with—C, G, Am, F, etc.
  • Tempo: Keep your tempo slow at first. It’s important to get each chord change smooth before speeding up.
