Practice these chords slow and slowly switching to the next chord.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Day 3: We focused on Lava today. This song has a tricky pattern to the chord changes.<\/p>\n<p>More notes to come in a little bit! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Day 4 &#8211; 6: Worked on all of our songs for Ukulele club. focused on switching from C &#8211; F &#8211; Am &amp; G7 chords.<\/p>\n<p>Day 7: Introduced G chord.
