If I Had a Hammer
 
In this lesson, you’ll learn to accent strums to give a song a bouncy rhythm, using the folk classic “If I Had a Hammer.” You’ll learn a new way to finger the basic C and F chords that will allow you to play a fun intro to the song that switches between the C and F chords quickly. You’ll also learn a quick-changing chord pattern (C, G, F, G) that you can use for most of the verse, along with an accented strum pattern:

“L-O-V-E”: Basic Swing Chords 
“L-O-V-E”: Basic Swing Chords 
 
The song “L-O-V-E” was made famous by Nat King Cole in 1965. You’ll learn some nice jazz chords that flow easily into each other. Marcy gets a nice, warm tone on “L-O-V-E” by strumming down with the pad of her thumb and up with the pad of her finger. The chords you’ll learn to play “L-O-V-E” are F6, Bb6, C7, F7, G7, and Bdim. Marcy shows you how to play each chord, finger by finger. The “Love Ukulele Chords” downloadable PDF, right, includes some pocket-size chord diagrams for these chords, so you can cut them out, put them in your pocket, and review them while you're waiting in line at the grocery store, watching TV, or whenever you just have a few minutes to think about ukulele chords.
