Join us to relax and jam for a while! We’ll be playing a variety of songs, most are at an intermediate level. I've set up a Dropbox file with 2 additional sub-files containing a variety of songs, some more challenging than others. Please send me your email address so I can send you the invite to the Dropbox files. I encourage you to listen to the songs you aren't familiar with on YouTube or any number of phone/iPad apps.

Sorry for the late update but it has been a difficult week , having my significant other hospitalized and getting him home again has taken a lot of my time, so I have to turn over Le’ale’a this week to my good friend Alma. Please bear with her as she is a projection newbie but she’ll figure it out and get everyone playng some fun songs!
**FYI: You may want to consider bringing your iPads to group, if desired, in the event there is a problem with the projector or if you don’t want to look at the songs projected on the wall. A few people have asked about that.
** NEW GROUP ATTENDEES:** If you have a song to suggest, kindly send the song info to the Le'ale'a email ahead of time. Then I can get the song(s) into Dropbox for everyone to have for practicing. It's great to learn new songs but if they are not in Dropbox, then only you or maybe another person might know the songs and the rest of the group sits there waiting because there is no song chart to look at. The group is not intended to be a jam session; we do have a variety of songs to play in Dropbox so let's keep to those songs. This is greatly appreciated!!
OKAY, NOW FOR THIS WEEK:
Continue to get familiar with song rhythms so the strumming doesn’t always sound like D-U-D-U. I mentioned that the Chordify app is great for learning the rhythm of songs. Continue to listen to the songs and get their rhythm down. Slow it down at first then gradually increase the speed of your playing and you'll get it!
-Keep working on "How Can I Be Sure", the Young Rascals song that we've worked on. It’s in 3/4 time so work on getting the speed and the rhythm down.
Since the chords are listed at the top of the page, keep a chord chart near to refer to for the chords you are not as familiar with. Remember, if playing a certain chord using different fingering helps you to change from one chord to another, then go for it! There's no "rule" that says you have to play a certain chord a certain way. If you need one of the chord charts I have printed up, just send me an email and I'll send it to you. This song is in Group 2 Dropbox file.
-"Tequila Sunrise" is a great song and I hope you've been playing it and working on the "Dreaded E chord" found toward the end of the song. By all means don't get too flustered if you can't play it very well! It takes a LOT of practice!! The song is in Group 2 File on Dropbox.
And Alma will probably pull a few songs out of her hat to have fun playing, so enjoy and remember: Practice, Practice, Practice!! See you all next week!!
