In this lesson we will be learning the chord progression to Autumn Leaves.

Fur Elise is a great classical piece to learn for beginner to intermediate players.  It consists of just 2 fairly simple sections. The nylon strings of the ukulele make this a great fit!

The turnaround is one of the most important parts of the 12 bar blues progression.  Navigating this successfully can make you sound like a pro.  It helps to have a few in your repertoire. In this lesson we will study one specific turnaround for the blues.

In this ukulele lesson we will be learning a chord melody version of O Christmas Tree. While fairly challenging, it is a good tune to try if you are new at the chord melody concept because you can play it a slow tempo and it sounds great. As with most chord melodies we will be playing some more advanced chord fingerings to play the chords and melody at the same time.

In this lesson we will be learning a chord melody version of Hotel California on ukulele. Chord melody style involves playing both the chords and the melody to get a more complete representation of the song.

In this lesson we will be learning Ophelia by The Band. The song has a distinct ragtime, New Orleans feel.  The song uses quite a few chords and incorporates an offbeat rhythm for the versus.  We also have a few guitar oriented riffs to learn.  Great, challenging tune to play and study.

Feliz Navidad is a classic Christmas tune relatively easy for any level of ukulele player.  The song consists of just 4 chords and uses the same strumming pattern throughout.

In this lesson we will be learning the Christmas classic by Brenda Lee.  The song consists of a melodic little lead and then goes into mainly chord strumming throughout.
