Learning a song from a chord chart is actually pretty difficult–even for a seasoned ukulele player. See her walking down the street Learning to Play a Song from a Chord Chart If you click over to the chord chart for “I’ve Been Working On the Railroad”, you see how the above rhythm chart example is represented in the chord chart: For example, in the popular folk song “I’ve Been Working On the Railroad”, in the first line of the song, chord changes occur on the first beat of every measure, as shown in the following figure: If this talk about counting and measures is confusing, be sure to watch my video lesson Ukulele Strumming Patterns for Beginners.Īs a rule of thumb, the majority of chords in a song change on the first beat of a measure. The strumming pattern in the figure above is played over the span of one measure. In a song counted in four, each group of four beats is considered one measure. This means you count one, two, three, four to the rhythm or strumming of the song. Most songs are counted in four (4/4 time signature).

In this lesson, I show you some ways I go about approaching a chord chart and learning a new song. The chord letters are written to line up with the lyrics, as to try to indicate when the chord changes happen, but as you’ve probably found, it’s not that easy. By itself, a chord chart doesn’t inform you about how long to strum a chord or when to exactly change a chord. The big downside to chord charts is that there is no indication of the rhythm (or strumming) of a song. Most of the ukulele songs I’ve posted on Ukulele Tricks are presented through chord charts. A chord chart includes the lyrics of a song with letters above to indicate the chords. For the most part, ukulele songs are displayed online and in print using chord charts.
