Ja-da or How to Truly Learn a Song

Friends join me on a journey! Starting with this humble little play-along with chords and lyrics in the key of C we're going to be diving deep into the old jazz standard Ja-Da over the next few weeks on this channel.

Dating back to 1918 this tin pan alley classic features a simple chord progression that most of us have already seen before along with an easily accessible melody.

I'll be releasing videos with the melody and chords in all 12 keys suitable for both high and low G ukulele. If the circle of fifths has ever intimidated you put it to use while learning a song can be the best way to get over that fear.

Over on the Magic Ukulele Club we'll have additional videos breaking down the harmony, historical versions of the song, chord melody, and chord substitutions. our goal is to go further than simply memorization and start to truly learn songs. https://thetinman.co/magicukuleleclub
