Tried Freebird with sone students today...
I messed up plenty, but it was fun!!!
You're supposed to mess up. It's a uke jam:) You obviously know how to keep it loose, light and fun, otherwise noone would want to play with you. I saw your chord changes, very nice;D I wish I had you for a teacher when I was in school.

Actually, that was pretty darn good for the most part. Most importantly, it was fun for you and fun to watch.

sounded good to me! What was the chord progression? looked almost like something I could handle.
 
Thanks guys! It is always fun, and I've gotten a few new people plating the Uke. It's amazing.

The chord progression is pretty easy. I've found a lot of easy stuff on this website:

I hope you find some good stuff on there. It is user driven so some tabs are not perfect. It is a lot of fun though. Best wishes!!!

That sounds like a really fun piece. Yeah, chords? :)

Did your class come up with some good reasons why we divide areas into regions?

Click the link if you an. The spacing of the gird changes below is not right for some reason. Copying and pasting didn't do the trick.

From that site I linked in prior post. Have at it everybody!!! Also, you can have some fingerpickibg fun as well. Just stick to the chord strum at the changes and don't lose the rhythm...

Play A minor as 0012, and D alt as 0322. You can just play them as traditional A and D too. It sounds fine either way. Enjoy!!

Also, if you click the link, it makes suggestions above the chords and lyrics.
 
Brilliant Mendel- looks like fun. Wish I could get my kids to play anything but "Somewhere over the rainbow" or Justin Bieber covers....sigh
