Onward and upward: Beyond C, F and G: To go upward and onward from beginner status you need to begin to master the chords in the common ukulele keys of C, G, D, A and F. Starting to poke around with up the neck chords and barring is also a good step. We'll look at strums that go a little beyond those "basic" ones that are so common on the internet. A few left and right-hand techniques to add to our trick bag plus a little good, old fashioned, musical literacy, playing by ear and easy music theory and we are off into a whole new level! I'll be your guide on this journey onward and upward. Prepare for take off!
