Three Chord Thursday Chord Melody Arrangements

A chord melody arrangement refers to music that includes both melody and harmony. For ukulele players, it means instrumental ukulele played fingerstyle. We devote our Three Chord Thursday session on March 18th, 2021 at 3 pm ET to performances of this kind.

We always start promptly at 3 pm with a warm-up, followed by our sunglasses ritual, line-up, and up to ten songs performed by volunteers who request to perform beforehand. We record and edit our song sessions to review, learn, remember, and share with the community. Join our new public Facebook Group to get the latest and greatest.

Let’s wear something with stripes — to represent tablature and the staff.
