HOW TO GET STARTED
- Buy a uke and a book (my recommendations), and teach yourself, using the instruction book, the songs from this and other websites, and Jumpin' Jim Beloff's songbooks.
- Come to the mid-month meetings of the GLASTONBURY UKULELE CLUB. The first hour (9:45am to 11:00am) is devoted to teaching beginners (from scratch!).
- Contact me (Dr. Uke) to find out when I will be teaching Adult Ed or other group lessons.
- Practice the most useful chord progression in several common keys:I I7 IV V7. Play a few songs, then come back and practice them some more!

STRUMMING FOR BEGINNERS
Improve your ability to play songs in the common ukulele keys of C,F,G,D, and A by playing "Amazing Grace" and "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" in those keys. The first set of "Amazing Grace" contains just the basic three chords of the songs. By playing the "fancy" versions, you will learn other important chords (minors, 9ths, suspended 7ths). I plan to add other songs in those common ukulele keys, which will introduce other types of chords.
(More songs below)
LITTLE (BUT VERY IMPORTANT) POINTS TO REMEMBER:
- Keep your left thumb low in the back of the neck, and vertically oriented.
- Strum over the fingerboard, not over the sound hole.
- Keep the fingernails of your left hand short (if you're playing right-handed).
- Hold the ukulele so that the right end hits your inner biceps muscle and your forearm crosses the uke's lower right. Then strum where your hand lands.
- Practice your strumming away from the ukulele when you can. For example, in the car, on your seat belt.
- Practice chord changes when you can. For example, during a television program, or at least during the commercials.
- Smile!
