Four Chord Simple

Four Chord Simple

Growing up, I quit the piano 4 times, quit the guitar 2 times, and also quit the drums and violin. Music was more like forced labor than anything else. "Fun" was the last word that came to mind.

All of this changed for me when I attended a musical performance put on by two ukulele players and their sidekick bass player. Their music was simple, but these guys had FUN!

It left such an impression on me that I went home that night and ordered my first ukulele. I discovered that learning ukulele chords was very easy, allowing me to quickly play the songs that I WANTED to play (as opposed to the piano songs that I was TOLD to play). I was actually having fun with music!

After years of enjoying the simplicity of the ukulele, I decided to share my joy with others by creating Four Chord Simple, a KZread Channel that makes instruments easy (and therefore fun) by teaching you how to play 100+ popular songs using just 4 simple chords. Enjoy: kzread.info/dash/bejne/Zad12KOOfLnVdLg.html :)

    Thank you so much, Mai! To keep things simple and avoid overwhelming beginners, I don’t include the strum patterns in the videos. If you are just getting started, I’d recommend sticking with a simple downstrum once per chord. After learning a few songs, having some fun, and gaining confidence, feel free to expand from there, but there’s no need to go overboard. To this day, I stick with just three simple strum patterns that create enough variety to avoid sounding monotonous. I've explained and written them out in the video description for you to reference. ☝ Please feel free to use whatever strum patterns you’d like as you learn the songs on my channel, but if you are interested in replicating the strumming patterns I use, I’ve carefully written them out for each song with the lyrics and chords in my songbook: fourchordsimple.com/songbook/ Enjoy! 😊

    Hi Flora! To keep things simple and avoid overwhelming beginners, I don’t include the strum patterns in the videos. If you are just getting started, I’d recommend sticking with a simple downstrum once per chord. After learning a few songs, having some fun, and gaining confidence, feel free to expand from there, but there’s no need to go overboard. To this day, I stick with just three simple strum patterns that create enough variety to avoid sounding monotonous.
