Ukulele Club Videos for 2024!

Day 1: During the first meeting of our Ukulele Club we learned (or reviewed) basics of the ukulele including parts of the instrument, strumming techniques, and finger placement.
We looked at 3 chords that we will be using to play some awesome songs in the coming meetings.

C chord: Third finger placed on the third fret on the first string (string closest to the ceiling).

F chord: Second finger placed on the second fret on the fourth string (closest to your chin) AND first finger on the first fret on the first string.

Am (A minor) chord: Second finger placed on the second fret on the fourth string (closest to your chin.)

Day 2: We played through a few different songs including the ones below: Thunder, Roar, & we began Lava.

The hardest thing we have done so far it getting out G7 chord playable with switching to other chords. Practice these chords slow and slowly switching to the next chord.

 

Day 3: We focused on Lava today. This song has a tricky pattern to the chord changes.

More notes to come in a little bit! 🙂

Day 4 – 6: Worked on all of our songs for Ukulele club. focused on switching from C – F – Am & G7 chords.

Day 7: Introduced G chord. Added “Try Everything” see video below. Taught how to tune your ukulele yourself.

 

Check out this version of The Lion Sleeps Tonight. It uses C, F, and G7 chords that we already know.

Then we used the chords to play “Thunder” by Imagine Dragons – See video below 🙂

Possible new songs 🙂
