Major and Minor Ukulele Chords (feel free to say thanks)

I’ve been creating chord charts and lesson resources for others that want to play the ukulele… seems like there is an interest. Since the ukulele site I am going to publish this stuff on isn’t up yet, I am going to post some of these resources here. So, without ado, here are the minor and major ukulele chords.

Started a New Website –> How to Play Ukulele!

I have been working on several web projects for the last month and neglecting my own website! Sorry about that. To make it up to you I have finished the chord chart that I promised… and went ahead and started a whole new website devoted to providing resources to the beginning ukulele student. More to come on that (when I get it spiffy) but until then, here is the completed ukulele chord chart for A, A flat, B and B flat. You’ll have to wait for the rest of the chords icon wink Started a New Website   > How to Play Ukulele! .

Ukulele Chord Chart with Notes!

I have been creating a ukulele chord chart which includes the actual notes that make up the chord next to the chord diagram! I drew several by hand and thought they were helpful enough that I should make a digital graphic of the chord chart to share with all ukulele beginners who want to understand the chords they are playing.

I expect I will have A, A flat, B, and B flat (including the majors, minors, 7ths, 9ths, minor 7ths, and major 7ths) done in a day or so… here is a sample of the ukulele chord chart.

Being Present and Focused Drawing Mandala Art

For the last few years I have been using mandalas to focus and bring my mind back from any place it wondered off to. They are basically circles (within a square) with ornate geometric symbols, sigils, and/or stories within them.

Wikipedia.org has a great quote about them:

In various spiritual traditions, mandalas may be employed for focusing attention of aspirants and adepts, as a spiritual teaching tool, for establishing a sacred space, and as an aid to meditation and trance induction.

There are many mandala coloring books available but they are also very easy and fulfilling to create by hand. One of the easiest ways to create a mandala is by drawing geometric shapes within themselves. For example, first draw a circle, then put a square within that circle letting the corners of the square touch the circle’s sides, then put a circle within the square, a triangle within the circle…etc., and decorate however you like!

Next time you find your mind wandering or overwhelmed break out that pencil or pen and find an old paper bag to doodle a mandala on. Remember, it does not have to be pretty or perfect or have some great symbolism. Just see what flows out of you when you let your mind calm and focus in on creating each line.

Found this pencil drawing I worked on last year and played around with it digitally. She’s my tangerine dreamer.
