So we did<\/em> go to the Uke Madness jam thing by Ukulele Movement<\/a> at CHIJMES on Saturday evening! It was a pretty relaxing and fun. Plus, the weather was being rather nice. It had rained earlier on in the day so it was good that it brightened up by then.<\/p>\n

And here are the people to guide us! There were music sheets with tabs printed out for people to read. The chords were simple enough for everyone to play anyway.<\/p>\n

Not enough sheets but the people who led us told us what chords were what. You just needed to know the basic fingerings for the chords. I didn’t know that Coldplay’s Viva La Vida was just three chords! It’s G, D and Em if I remember right. In any case, if you searched for chords, you can find it at your own octave to sing.<\/p>\n

There were a group of older ladies called the Wesley Group and they also led and performed some songs for us like Oye Como Va <\/a>and Pearly Shell<\/a>. So the strumming for that is pretty fun.<\/p>\n
