Many of us play in ukulele groups and soon find ourselves wanting to branch off from the typical strumming pattern or chords. This class will show you how to enhance your chords and still allow you to learn while playing in your group. We’ll cover different chord positions and chord substitutions to give you some new tools for your tool belt that will enhance the sound of the group.
