    Position your instrument fairly high and flat to the chest. Support it resting partly in the crook of the elbow of the strumming arm, with the other arm reaching under the neck. The neck should be raised at about 30 - 45 degrees and project forward to give a comfortable, relaxed chord arm. This position is much easier to adopt and more secure us...

    Try strumming this chord – sounds good? But you can’t do much with one chord on its own except admire it, so let’s try the chord ‘F’. The chord ‘F’ uses two fingers, and the dots show the positions. Form the claw shape, and place the fingers so as not to touch the other strings, using the end of each finger, not the pad. Long nails may make this...

    Go slowly at first, making the chord changes just before the strum. Continue practising this until you are confident. You may then wish to make intermediate down strums on each beat to bring out the rhythm, and later emphasise the first beat of the bar. Stay at this level until you are comfortable you can manage a reasonable speed. The key to sp...

    When you have mastered a selection of chords and can change quickly, steady even down-strokes seem un-expressive and you will want to add more interest to your playing. Now is the time to explore the possibilities of your strumming hand. There are no set rules – it is what you feel in the music, its pace, rhythm and style. There are many variati...

    The easiest first step is to locate and emphasise the first beat of the bar with a strong down-stroke, and correspondingly lighter following strokes. Be guided by the emphasised words (or syllables) to establish the bar structure. Note that the first word is not always on the first beat.

    You can then fit up-strokes between the down-strokes, to give a faster, more sustained sound. Upstrokes can then be added at any point between down strokes, as many, and in whatever position seems right. There are endless possibilities with this technique to bring out the feel of a song, and of course to mix-and-match..

    Vary the rhythm for perhaps one line or section by just playing single strong strokes on significant words on the first beat of each bar.

    ‘Intros’ are sometimes shown for the song, and often take the form of the chord sequence of the last one or two lines of the verse or chorus, or even a whole verse.

    A chord is a harmonious group of three or four notes relating to the key of the piece, which supports the melody. They come in various pitches and ‘flavours’. Unless you intend to compose your own songs, you don’t need to know how the chords are formed, as they have already been worked out and chord charts are widely available in books or free on...

    There is a great deal of information in the internet for ukulele players. Here are some useful sites:

    For quality instruments and equipment, try the many music stores on-line, preferably ones that have a physical presence, as they will have knowledgeable staff. For simple stuff, try eBay (usually cheapest) or Amazon.

    UkeBuddy – select gCEA tuning, or use a mobile phone app.

    Ukulele Mike (enter ‘Name of song’, Ukulele Mike), Chordu.com, Cynthia Lin, various YouTube tutorials, and many others.

    There are many ways to find the correct chords/words for a favourite song. You can just put in the (‘song name’, chords’, or ‘song name, words’), and see what you get. For best results, try UltimateGuitar.com, etc (use box at top to find a title or artist), and select a version of the song (usually the most popular). Songs are often in unfamiliar...

    Starting and running a group is enjoyable, fulfilling and will stimulate you to learn more about the instrument. If you are yourself a beginner, playing together will motivate you to learn and progress. It provides great pleasure to the group members, and offers them the gift of music. You don’t have to be an expert, you can learn with the group...

    When your group has learned the most common chords and can play competently, you may wish to consider the future. There are several directions you may take: Most commonly, groups continue to play together, tackling different songs and familiar favourites, learning new chords as and when required. There are many song book published on the interne...
