The other day, I shared a cover of "It Had to Be You" by Isham Jones and Gus Kahn. Today, I'm pleased to share a full tutorial for my version of the song! In this video, I'm playing my Lanikai acacia baritone ukulele. Don't forget that you can click the gear icon and change "playback speed" to slow down any portion of the video!
