More play-along songs

 If you want to play along with songs other than those in the Daily Ukulele book, consider Joanne Cooper's play-along site  on YouTube. There are 400+ songs available.  The videos show chord names.  The diagrams show guitar chords, but you should know most of the chords, or look them up on a ukulele chord chart.  Enjoy!  A tip o' the hat to Bob & Grace for suggesting this site.
Remember.  You have to click "Read More" to see the inks. If you want to have someone to play along with who uses the Daily Ukulele book, John's Ukulele Cafe has been playing songs from the book since the beginning of 2021. Red on Black Productions also has a large number of songs from the Daily Ukulele book. "Miss Julia" at JAM Studios also has a few songs to play along with.

How to Practice

 I ran across the article below.  It has some good tips on practicing.  Some of you have mentioned difficulty in changing from chord to chord.  The writer has some tips on how to deal with that problem.  (Hint - practice slowly).  For those of you who are learning to play melody, or chord-melody there are some excellent suggestions as well.  Although the presenter gives examples using a piano (her main instrument is a saxophone), most of the suggestions are transferable to your uke.  Here's the link:   Click here
