Got a ukulele for Christmas and you are looking for a good easy beginner song to learn? Ready to learn how to play but don't know where to start? A super fan of all things 90s, including Hootie and the Blowfish? Got you covered on all of those! Let Her Cry the mega smash hit from the group, Hootie and the Blowfish. Now, this song is a beginner song, the verse is very simple with only a three chord progression repeating itself three times in a row, and the chorus is essential the same except for one real fast change. That makes it a great song for beginners, and that extra element can give you something to work on without getting frustrated and feeling like you can't play the song.

Official video for The Marty Ray Project’s 2015 cover of Hootie And The Blowfish's “Let Her Cry” I released this video for my Birthday because in 1994 my mom bought me the Hootie And The Blowfish "Cracked Rear View" Album and I've been a fan ever since. This is the song that concreted my admiration for Darius Rucker, which I still have today.
