How is Shelter in Place going for you? With everyone at home, it’s been a challenge to make tutorials and post on the blog, but I've finally been able to work on a project that I've been excited to share with you since last fall— my Ukulele Chord Charts! If you stopped by my booth at last year's Los Angeles International Ukulele Festival, you may have seen or purchased one. In fact, we had many people buy multiples to share with their uke club friends!
Last weekend I was finally able to record a couple of videos to explain what makes my chord chart unique. You can watch the intro video above, or head over to the Chord Chart page, where you can watch a detailed tutorial that will show you how to use the chord chart to play and sing in different keys. And why would you want to sing in different keys? Well, singing while you strum is a lot of fun, but many folks are under the impression that “they just can’t sing.” And that’s simply not true. The trick is to know which keys are the best fit for your vocal range! The tutorial video will walk you through the process of using the chord chart to change the key of two songs— “You Are My Sunshine” and “When the Saints Go Marching In”— so that you can start to experiment with transposing (changing the key of a song) and singing in different keys so that you can make the most of your natural vocal range.
