Hello welcome back to my blog.
Today in class we continued to use the ukulele. this time we got to play songs my thumb is know real sore but we played 3 songs I only played 1 though because I was having trouble with the notes but I figured it out. The songs where The lion sleeps tonight,Stand by me and One call away I only played stand by me because that's when I figured it out.
Some people played what they had learned for other people because we were given the choice we also had to learn some new glossary terms so here are some I learnt about ukulele.
ARPEGGIO
The process of plucking the individual notes in a chord separately opposed to strumming them together.
BARRE
The action of placing a finger (usually the forefinger) across all strings of the ukulele at a certain fret to effect the action of moving the nut down, and shortening the strings.
CAPO
A device which attaches to the ukulele at a certain fret which, when tightened, has the effect of moving the nut to that fret, thus shortening the strings and raising the register of the instrument. Usually used by those wishing to play the same chord patterns to a song that is otherwise to deep for them to comfortably sing to.
Thank you for reading my blog have a nice day bye.
