Practice Tips for A to Z Blues Chord Progressions for `Ukulele
Here are a series of practice tips fro getting the most out of the blues chord progressions in the A to Z Blues Progressions for Ukulele book.
One problem that I’ve seen with a lot of my private students is that they tend to not spend enough time with each progression and don’t practice them in tempo.
Start with a slow tempo where you can comfortable switch between all the chords. If you are having any trouble switching play each chord as a whole note with each chord lasting four beats and leave the chord early to have enough time to get to the next chord - or just slow the tempo down to the point where you are successful. With each success increase the tempo a bit until it is at your goal.
Follow this sequence when playing through the progressions.
- Play all chords as whole notes where each chord last for four beats or even counts each.
- Then as half notes where each chord last for two beats each.
- As quarter notes with each chord lasting one beat.
- Finally as a dotted half note to an eight note. This is counted 1 and 2 and playing on the one and and of 2.
- At this point you can play any rhythmic pattern or strum you would like. Visit the Modular Phonetic Rhythm series of lessons or books by Chuck Anderson for more on rhythm.
