Wrapping it all up.....

There is a lot to think about, and work on, in Give My Regards to Broadway.  We'll work on this again next week.  Focus on making the MOST LOGICAL chord changes. They come fast at times and you have to be efficient. I find that when I play it, I sometimes use closed chords, and sometimes not, depending on what chords comes next, and what chord I am coming from.  Work on the strum (Pattern was in the last blog). and picking the notes. 
Our last song in the book is Adoration; A fun Latin American style with pretty simple notes and a challenging rhythm. You will have to LISTEN to this song alot to be able to internalize the rhythm of it. Then try playing it with music, but first listen! I have put a slow version of the song below. 
I also have attached a copy of Ukulele Chord Forms and Fretboard. It is a scan and if I can find a better copy of this, I'll send it later or give it to you next week. This is basically an easy reference showing you all of the closed chord forms you will ever need, and where the root is, and the notes on the neck (the circle of 5ths that appears on this sheet has errors on it. See if you can find and correct them) . We will talk about it in class next week. 
Have a good week!
