Ukelele
If you have a ukelele, here are all the easy chords and fingering to get you started. Feel free to make your own chord progressions up, or find easy uke songs in the Key of C, to play a-long with on Youtube.
C
F
A minor
G
G6- easier
Here are some easy songs to play chords with. The chords are the same as the songs for keyboard/piano.. When playing, wait till you see the next chord to change. These chords will usually change in 4 or 8 beats. If you have a G7 or regular G, simply switch to G6 to make it easier. If you want to, that is.
Stand By Me
Wipeout
Just The Way You Are
Johnny B. Good
The Lion Sleeps Tonight
You Are My Sunshine
Baby Shark
3 Little Birds
Surfin USA
La Bamba
Best Day of my Life
I will now move on to other chords that are used in easier songs. We did play these in class, but they were not our main chords for the songs. Feel free to practice these, or continue the songs above.
D minor-use 1st and 2nd
finger for these. Fingerings like F chord. Use more top 2nd finger to get both dots.
E minor- use 1st,2nd, and 3rd finger.
D-use your 3rd finger over all the dots. Only the bottom 3 strings though.
Sweet Caroline
Don't Worry, Be Happy
Yakety Yak
Hound Dog-Each chord is 4 beats. Try the solo part too.
