Choirguy has created Practice Sheet videos for each of the 5 Keys featured in the Ukulele Boot Camp!

The videos take each Practice Sheet #1 -#5, Keys of C, F, G, A, D,
and presents each in a very engaging manner, designed to assist and
encourage beginners as they take up the challenge to work through
the 'Obstacle Courses' which make up the Ukulele Boot Camp.

search YT for 'Ukulele Boot Camp' and each video will appear, each
with a very similar look so they'll be easy to identify... Thanks, Choirguy!

They begin with each Sheet at 8 strums per chord. Then the video
will take you through a few more sequences at 4 strums per chord,
then 3 strums, 2 strums, ending with the 'ultimate challenge' of
1 strum per chord!

Take and use these videos any way you want. I generally take my
students through each Practice Sheet, [one per session for a total of
5 sessions for Basic I], beginning with 8 strums per chord a couple of times,
then (without a break) to 4 strums per chord. That's about it, as I have
other content and songs for them to learn.

Having the full course of strums per chord, 8-4-3-2-1, available
through the videos provides even more practice and exercise for
those who are interested!

I believe the set tempo is about 82, and, of course, you may either
lower or raise the tempo as you wish to further encourage and/or
challenge yourself. [Note: I don't believe you can actually change
the tempo in the video itself, however, apart from the video, you
may continue your practice...offline as it were] :)

I may have come up with the chord progressions on the Practice Sheets,
but Choirguy makes using them very practical and enjoyable.


So enjoy, and keep uke'in',
