The Streets of Laredo - Easy Ukulele Chord Techniques

Here's an old 3 chord song that is great for strumming along to. Also in this tutorial I show you how to play the chord melody as well!
Three simple chords are all you need - C, F and G7

Great tutorial. I've tried this song before and have the sheet music ready to go.😊😊😊😊

Hey Rich! I was thinking of you when I did this one! I hope you enjoy it!! Kelly

@@fourstringstrummer If it's okay with you, I can place this tutorial on my channel and see if I can send some people your way. I've learned a lot watching your videos. Rich

@@richdavis4007 absolutely Rich! I'd really appreciate it. Thanks so much! I'm glad you're enjoying the videos. Kelly

So nice to see you post again. It’s like an early holiday gift. 😊. Now I want to research the old Irish version (which I think I have heard before.). Thanks!

[@fourstringstrummer]

Hi Lucy! Hope you're well!! Yeah I think I saw/heard that version at some point too. It was about a sailor rather than a cowboy if I recall correctly. Hope you enjoy the video - I have a few more already planned as well. Kelly

Thank you for the tutorial. So glad to see you posting again. Appreciate your dedication and teaching style.

[@fourstringstrummer]

Thanks Debbie! I really appreciate your comment and your kind words!! I have a schedule I'm putting together with quite a few more videos planned. Kelly

[@debbiehouston6904]

Will look forward to each one. Thanks, again.

So good to see you back again. Most enjoyable. Many thanks and keep ‘em coming.

[@fourstringstrummer]

Thanks so much! Glad you are enjoying the videos. I've got more in the works for sure! Kelly

That chord melody is SO pretty, but will be tough for a beginner like me. But something to strive for!

[@fourstringstrummer]

Hey Kevin- keep working at one piece of the chord melody at a time. Just work on getting a couple of notes...then add one more note and play that through, then add one more note or two once you have that - this may help - rather than trying to play allllll the way through every time. I heard someone describe it at "eating less but chewing more" (might have been Matt Dahlberg...) and it's a good way to think of it. Glad you're enjoying the video and welcome aboard the channel!!

Hi Kelly. I've missed your videos for the last ..... about 9 months now ..... have you been pregnant? 😉 Good to have you back again. 👍

[@fourstringstrummer]

Hey Barry! You figured it out!! Hahaha - life just got a bit crazy. I've got a few more videos already planned out so should be back to a more regular schedule again. How's things with you? Have a good summer? Been playing a lot? Kelly
