About this Lesson
What's up YouTube! Welcome to Ray's Ukulele where today we're going to be learning how to play "Feliz Navidad".
This is an incredibly fun and easy song for the holidays. You just need to know three simple chords: G, A, and D. (For the D chord, you can play it by barring with one finger, or use three fingers if that's easier for you).
Strumming Patterns
We're going to use one main strumming pattern for most of the song, and every once in a while throw in a single down strum.
1. The Island Strum (Main Pattern)
You'll use this strum for the majority of the song. Keep it upbeat!
2. The Single Down Strum
Every once in a while during transitions, we will just do a single down strum and let it ring.
