How to play your blues 1.4.5 progression on the Ukulele! A Beginner lesson for all the aspiring uke players out there. This progression is one of the most popular song writing formulas in music!

So whats all this 1.4.5 stuff mean??? These numbers are whats known as "chord notation", they refer to the notes in the major scale and allow musicians to remember chord progressions they like. In this lesson we learned the blues 1.4.5, Cmaj, Fmaj, and Gmaj. If you look at your C major scale, you will see that C is the first note, F is the fourth note and G is the 5th note of that scale! You can usually figure out chord progressions alphabetically; if c is your starting point, then F would be four notes up, and G would be 5 notes up from C. This is a very important piece of music theory to understand and will save you hours of practice time trying to remember progressions.
