TIPS FOR HOME PRACTICE
If you want to learn a song, but are feeling frustrated that the chords are going too fast, know that you are not alone!
We never learn a song perfectly the first time. We practice. A LOT! Here are some tips to help you learn the songs:
1. Focus on 1 chord at a time. Play through the song only strumming the C chords. Next time, only F.
2. Play through the song and pick 2 chords to strum. Practice switching between these chords 10 times.
3. If a chord just isn't sounding right, listen to each string at a time. If a string isn't sounding properly, it could be that you're not pressing hard enough, or that something is touching the string and it can't vibrate.
4. SLOW IT DOWN. This is such a clever trick. (Click the little gear at the bottom right of the YouTube video. Select "Playback Speed" Select 0.75 and it will play back slower.

Guitar Players - here are some of the same chords we have learned on the Ukulele for the Guitar. Remember for chords that use all six strings, you can start by just trying the higher strings (bottom 4 strings) until you are ready for the other 2.
