Kickball (barring practice made more fun) barre chords Ukulele UkesterBrown

I invented a little song to play while working on getting my barring technique down. In a few frames it looks like my middle finger is helping to hold down my index finger... it is not. While watching the video I noticed this and found I naturally rest my finger that way- I'm not using it as a brace. This little song also gives you a nice riff to play when at a music shop surrounded by guitar players who think you must be a schmuts. Prove 'em otherwise..... There is a free practice sheet at www.ukesterbrown.com .

is there any Em with a barre

[UkesterBrown]

@piron416 Yes... if you barre at the seventh fret and play an Am shape. It would be 9-7-7-7

Found your stuff through Mike Leach, he seems an incredibly generous guy . . . I have been ukeing for little over six months . . . am a left handed player and had to go through all kinds of contortions to flip the chords in my mind . . . "Kickball" is an excellent barre teaching tool . . . could you please add a "Kickball" sheet music to your sheet music? It would help this lefty a lot. Thanks!

I have never written out tabs. If you just write down the chord names at the end it will be faster than waiting for me to get to it. I will eventually, but it will be a while. As a lefty did you restring your uke or do you flip it upside down? Also, I think there is a chord genertor out there that flips them for lefties... if I find it I'll send it your way.

Great stuff, and I got the practice sheet from your site. Major big thank you!

[SammyPi]

I've written out the chords at the end . . . from the video, I get confused as to exactly what order the chords should be played from start to ending . . . the C7 things confuses me. When I started, I had to scan chords then import photoshop where I flipped them . . . so left became right . . . and of course I tuned the uke left handed in that I strum with my left and form chords with my right . . any resourse you might have for left hand players will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Sam Dixon
