Jazz on ukulele
Jazz on ukulele: the strumming pattern “four to the bar”, in 4/4 and the progressions ii-V-I and rhythm changes (A section) (I–vi–ii–V), each with audio on its own page. The ukulele has a real jazz streak from the swing era, and its close, clustered chords suit cheerful backing; just remember it colours the harmony rather than anchoring it, since there is no bass note underneath.
Sophistication meets freedom: jazz pairs rich harmony with improvisation, so the same song never sounds the same twice. Here you'll find the ii-V-I — best understood as the genre's most-used three-chord chain — and the A section of rhythm changes, a short cycle that underpins countless tunes.
