Starting a new blog for learning about the ukulele, intending to focus a little more on the playing and musical theory aspect of the instrument. If you have any questions about songs, chords, strums, flats, sharps, etc. please post them! Lots of folks play for years and years without knowing just a few key things that would make life a lot easier when it comes to learning songs and think it's all one big mystery or that it takes too much time to even bother to try to learn - they are robbing themselves of so much fun and pleasure!
For my first case study (lol), last night I was talking with a friend about a song by Weldon Kekauoha called Lei Ho'oheno and he said it'd taken him a long time just noodling around trying to figure out the chords and eventually got pretty much all of them except for ONE chord and it was driving him nuts. He knew that the 2nd chord of the bridge was a Bm chord but for the life of him, couldn't figure out the one that precedes it no matter how many chords he tried to plug in there. Well, I informed him it was an F#7 chord which, if you knew just a little bit of theory, was really the only choice, kind of an instantaneous process of elimination. Think of the time he would have saved!
Want to know how this all works? Stay tuned and subscribed!
