If I Had a Hammer
 
In this lesson, you’ll learn to accent strums to give a song a bouncy rhythm, using the folk classic “If I Had a Hammer.” You’ll learn a new way to finger the basic C and F chords that will allow you to play a fun intro to the song that switches between the C and F chords quickly. You’ll also learn a quick-changing chord pattern (C, G, F, G) that you can use for most of the verse, along with an accented strum pattern:

G Position Soloing 
 
Expand your knowledge of scales on the ukulele with the G position. Marcy shows you how to play scales based on the open-position G chord. You’ll learn to think of the individual notes of a chord, rather than just the chord shape, so you can use them to find scales and melodies. Marcy shows you the G position scale and then how to find a melody like “Frere Jacques” (and others) with the scale.
