Uke Minutes 18 - Chord Families

Sun, 22 Jun 2008 02:46:59 GMT

Hooray! This week's uke minute is for the songwriter in you! Here Aldrine breaks down the ins and outs of 'chords that sound good together', otherwise known as "Chord Families." Basically, figure out what key you want to play in, find out the notes in that major scale, and number them 1 through 8. Numbers 1, 4, 5, and 8 will be major chords. 2, 3, and 6 will be minor chords. And 7 will be a diminished. Now choose which of these chords you want to use and in what order, and - alakazam! - you just got yourself a song! Play around with this and let us know what you think! http://www.ukuleleunderground.com

Uke Minutes 17 - Movable Chord Shapes

Sun, 08 Jun 2008 02:31:20 GMT

Hey people! This week theory is back and in effect with the latest episode of Uke Minutes: Movable Chord Shapes. Basically, take any known chord, and as long as you maintain the shape you can move it up and down the fretboard, and automatically change the key. For example, hold your G chord, maintain the shape and move it up one fret - instant G#. Move it up another fret - instant A! Works for pretty much any chord variations; Majors, Minors, Sevenths, Ninths, Diminished-s, you name it. Try it out and let us know what you think! http://www.UkuleleUnderground.com
