Meeting 1
- Put on a smile!
- Bring your Ukulele (We have 2 Ukes that you can be borrowed during the meeting).
- Study the tututorial, Practice and be Ready to Play "Three Little Birds" (Don't Worry) by Bob Marley.
"Three Little Birds" will be our theme song. Even absolute beginners (like Karoline and Denise) can learn this song using the tutorial in less than 1 hour. If you already know how to play, or play the guitar, you'll learn it in 15 minutes.
If you're feeling ambitious and have mastered Three Little Birds, try "Happy Together" by the Turtles. It takes more skill, but Marino, who plays the guitar and picked up a Ukulele for the first time on Saturday, learned it during the tutorial video. Happy Together is not required for meeting 1.
We'll assign a new song for each meeting. Don't worry, video tutorials and music will be provided..
