Uke Minute 96...what a beauty! (Figuring out key of a song)

Hey Janita! That is awesome - you're putting the episode to good use already!! If you know that the song is in a minor key, you can pretty much start off the same way by playing random notes to find a note that fits, then try out scales (minor scales instead of major scales). For the last part, Aldrine hasn't taught the process of finding minor chord families yet, so that's why he didn't mention it. Eventually minor chord families will be on an episode of Uke Minutes (or a series of Uke Minutes), but until then you can repeat steps one and two to try and figure out the other chords in the song. Hope that helps! Keep those questions commin'!
