Let us continue our musical journey on mastering the art of strumming the ukulele. In this lesson, I will teach you the triplet strum pattern with the help of 7th chords. A triplet strum pattern implies playing 3 notes per beat.

Before you begin the course on the triplet pattern, you will need to bear certain things in mind:

You will need to keep your strumming wrist in a relaxed and comfortable position.

The roll should be continuous and balanced.

You should start slow and build up your speed as you get more confident with the pattern.

Once you are set, let’s begin this tutorial with the G7 ukulele chord. The fingering of the G7 chord is:

Open 4th string

2^nd finger on the 2^nd fret of the 3^rd string

1^st finger on the 1^st fret of the 2^nd string

3^rd finger on the 2^nd fret of the 1^st string

Now that you know the fingering positions, let me explain how to count the triplet. It is quite simple:...

Want to learn to play a cool Chuck Berry lick on the ukulele in the style of Johnny B. Goode? If so I got you covered.

This tutorial focuses on the main riff that can be heard on many Chuck Berry songs, including Johnny B. Goode, Roll Over Beethoven, and Carol. This lick is an essential component of every great blues ukulele and guitar players from Jimmy Page to Jake Shimabukuro.

For this ukulele lesson, I have transposed the song from Chuck’s original key of Bb to D. The key of D sits better on the ukulele than the key Bb. The techniques you will learn are double stops, slides, and hammer-ons.

The cool thing about the ukulele is that once you have this lick memorized in the key of D, all you have to do must do is move it up and down the neck to transpose it to different keys.

 So if you are looking to learn a ukulele here are the 5 things you should know:

1.    Not a mini guitar:

Many people in the world think that a ukulele is just like a mini guitar which is totally wrong. A ukulele has the G string one octave higher as compared to the guitar.

2.    Different number of strings:

Again the people, who have never seen a ukulele from close, think that it has strings exactly like a guitar. Actually, a ukulele only has 4 strings, unlike the guitar which has six and even more in some cases.

3.    Fewer strings do not mean easy playing:

It is again a myth that playing ukulele is easier than guitar. It totally depends on an individual and his approach. Some people may find playing ukulele harder than the guitar. So before starting...
