  • All songs are made from chords. Chords give us the collection of pitches we need in order to create melodies, harmonies and the like. Often songs have a lot of chords...but some only have THREE! Here are TEN songs you can play with only THREE chords! SUPER EASY UKULELE SONGS!
    **As a note (and I might have not explained it the best in the video) throughout this whole medley you’ll see I used four total chords (C, a, F and G) but each song only uses three of those four chords. So while YES each song uses only THREE chords, in total you see four used throughout the whole medley. ALSO, this is NOT a tutorial! I actually have made tutorials for many of these songs now, so check them out on my channel!**
    Tutorials I have made as of 6/22/20 from this video:
    "Dreams" by Fleetwood Mac: • Dreams by Fleetwood Ma...
    "Truth Hurts"- • Truth Hurts by Lizzo T...
    "Somebody I Used to Know" by Goyte • Somebody I Used to Kno...
    "Stay With Me" by Sam Smith • Stay With Me Tutorial ...
    "Three Little Birds" by Bob Marley • Three Little Birds Tut...
    “Just the Way You Are” by Bruno Mars • Just The Way You Are T...
    “Chasing Cars” by Snow Patrol • Chasing Cars Tutorial ...

    Hi all! There is a bit of confusion about the chords in this video. Each song used in the medley only has three chords. There are a total of 4 chords used in the medley though. So each song has some combination of 3 of the four total chords. The video is songs that use three chords-not that each song uses the same exact 3 chords in the same order. I have also linked individual full tutorials for many of the songs in the video so check out the description for those links! Thanks all!

    I like the idea of having several songs that can be played with 3 or 4 chords. Especially simple chords. It gives me a chance to make music while learning the chords and creating muscle memory. Once i get really good at that, I can start adding new chords or picking somewhere in between. Before you know it, you're playing anything!

    Just a QUICK AND USEFUL tip for you beginners out there:
    Play ALL the new chords and progressions REALLY REAAAAAALLYYYY slowly at the begining, then speed it up (you can use also video speed to like 0,25x, 0,75x, whatever)
    P.S. - Super useful, makes your brain know what to do and your fingers will stop "crazy wobbling" when changing chords 😉)
