You Can Play the Uke

There s a reason ukulele has become one of the world s most popular instruments. It s small, compact and easy to play, even for those who are brand new to music-making. You ve learned the basics of this wonderful little instrument on DVD 1. Now it s time to really start playing it! Kate and Steve (the Ukalaliens) show you new chords and how to play in different keys, along with the techniques to make it all more interesting: strumming, fingerpicking, hammer-ons, damping, harmonized scales and other easy but effective techniques. You ll learn to play eight songs in a variety of keys that will open the door to hundreds - perhaps thousands - of other popular traditional songs.
