The "coolest trick on the ukulele ever created." - Well maybe not, but it still gives a cool sound. - All you have to do is grab a piece of paper, not a full sheet of paper but a smaller piece. - I prefer to use a thinner piece of paper rather than one that is too thick. - Simply place the paper under all 4 strings and play. - Any chords or ukulele chord progression will work well for this. - You'll notice that it sounds like a snare drum is playing as you strum. - This style will work great on country or Johnny Cash style songs. - #ukelikethepros #ukulele #uke #ukelele #uketeacher #ukuleleteacher #ukulelelessons #ukuleleplayer #ukulelemagazine #ukulelealoha #ukulelebeats #ukulelescales #youtube #youtuber #terrycarter #koaloha #instauke #musiceducation #ukelife #ukuleles #ukulelelove #playukulele #johnnycash #countrymusic #cowboy #maninblack #twostep #linedancing #elvis #georgeformby (at San Diego, California)

Jazz Turnaround I - VI - II - V Lesson. Full video on IGTV - Shout out to @banjoleletinman for the inspiration for this lesson - The I - VI - II - V - I chord progression is one of the most popular progressions in Jazz. - We are in the key of C so the I chord is C, the VI chord is A, the II chord is D, and the V chord is G. - Normally the vi and the ii chords are minor but in this lesson we are going to make all the chords (except the C) dominant chords or 7th chords. - This gives it a little bounce and keeps the sound jumping. - I added a special ending that brings it all together. - After playing the I - VI - II - V progression 3 times you will end with a C, C diminished 7, G/B, and C. - The rhythm for this lesson will alternate between D DU D DU to DUMU(T)UDU. The D is downstroke, the U is upstroke, M is mute, and (T) is tie. There is a tie between beats “2” and the “+ of 2” in the second pattern. - To get the mute I will be using a right hand palm mute. - Quote of the day, “Imagination Is More Important Than Knowledge” - Einstein - Ready to master the ukulele? https://www.ukelikethepros.com - Check out Uke Like The Pros at: + Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/ukelikethepros + YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/ukelikethepros + Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/ukelikethepros + Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/ukelikethepros - I play a @koalohaukulele concert ukulele with a high G String. www.koaloha.com - Thank you for following.. - Enjoy, Terry - #ukelikethepros #ukulele #uke #ukelele #uketeacher #ukuleleteacher #ukulelelessons #ukuleleplayer #ukulelemagazine #ukulelealoha #ukulelebeats #ukulelescales #youtube #youtuber #terrycarter #koaloha #instauke #musiceducation #ukelife #ukuleles #ukulelelove #playukulele #jazzukulele #jazz #einstein #pink #igtv #banjoleletinman (at San Diego, California)
