Hi Dalia!

Nice meeting you yesterday! Here’s what to play this week.

Legend:

  • The full dots are which frets to hold down
  • The white dots are the open strings. No frets held down
  • The X means you avoid playing that string
  • SP = Strumming Pattern, D = Down, U = Up
  • Rest = don’t play; be silent. Remember to use your hand to silence the strings
  • RH = Right Hand
  • LH = Left Hand
  • LH fingers: 1 = index, 2 = middle, 3 = ring, 4 = pinky

Strumming Patterns

Play the following SP’s. Do each one over the following chords. One SP on only one chord at a time.

“Pineapple Rest Rest!” — D DU rest rest

“Watermelon Che-rry!” — DUDU D D

“Apples Peaches Plums and Pears!” — DU DU DU D

C

  • That number 4 on the dot means to use finger 4 on your LH
  • Put it on fret 3 of the A string

F

  • Put finger 2 on fret 2 of the G string
  • Put finger 1 on fret 1 of the E string

Dm

  • Finger 2 on fret 2 of the C string
  • Finger 1 on fret 1 of the E string
  • This one is challenging because you have to avoid playing a string
  • The challenge makes you a better ukulele player!

Thanks Dalia! See you next week!
