It's My Life (Bon Jovi cover), Austin Ukulele Society

At our June 2024 meeting we had a blast strumming, picking, and singing Bon Jovi's hit from 2000, "It's My Life." Such a fun song! Many thanks to all who came out! Special thanks to Aaron Lewis for keeping us on the beat with his U-bass!

I love this. Thankyou so much.
I've been following Bon Jovi quite intensely just lately, watching their interviews in the UK etc regarding their new album, which has lead to me looking at previous footage from over the years. Needless to say, I'm a bit hooked on them at the moment, so having this song to play on my uke would be the perfect icing on the cake. It's such an ear worm at the moment! I've always liked their songs on the radio over the years, and have now discovered others that I didn't know, so being able to play one would be a real treat. Best wishes from Karen in Warwickshire, UK

@@AustinUkuleleSociety Apart from the muted strums, is the strum pattern generally up down up down etc, or otherwise?

@@karensullivan-barker4957 In the chorus we're using the island strum. Take a look at this guide, which shows details of the strums: app.box.com/s/c5w8r47d4s8zqp73z3w9ts1xbitem8w0
