Gospel — Ukulele

For bright pop songs and gentle ballads the ukulele fits like a glove, adding an airy sparkle; heavier rock, blues and funk want the punch and bass it simply does not have. In gospel music, harmony carries the emotion of collective singing: rich chords that rise and resolve like a congregation breathing as one. Here you'll study the extended ii-V-I — in practice, the classic route home to the main chord, with extra stops along the way — and the IV walk-up, a climbing chord line that builds a feeling of celebration.
