LESSON THREE: NEXT STEPS
In this lesson, we'll learn LOTS of new chords, and look at the patterns and similarities between different chords. We'll also look at a number of new songs that use these chords, so we can put them into practice straight away. Have a look at the chord chart below, and try playing your way through these chords. We'll slowly add these chords to the list of chords we already know.
how to strum!
There are LOTS of ways to strum a ukulele, but here are some ideas to get you started. Watch these videos with a ukulele in hand, and pause the clip to practice each example. It's best to practice strumming by sticking to one chord, so that you can really focus on what your right hand is doing, without having to worry about changing chords.
Once you've managed to get a handle on a strumming pattern, practice it with a metronome or a drum loop so that you can play it at a steady consistent tempo (speed).
