The Shukulosophy

There is One Shukulosophy.   And it has many parts, without making it complicated..

• Above all, all participants and observers, supporters or not, must have a good time.
• It is not expected that everyone play all the chords at the time that reflects an historical performance.
• It's perfectly acceptable to skip difficult chords, and look ahead and prepare to play the chord(s) you do know, preferably at the appropriate time.
• Singing along, particularly during the choruses, is encouraged.
•  Improvement, in whatever form you can bring,  is part of the full life experience.  Whether it is remembering the chords, or the words, or both (!), and recognizing the chords as they come up, as the saying goes "it's all good".
• This is a social interaction.  We all benefit from learning from each other how to do something; for example, the "book" version of the E chord is a real finger twister.   Turns out that in many cases, playing the E7 instead sounds perfectly fine.  Hey, we're talking about a ukulele here, not a Steinway concert grand.  
• Similarly, sharing different ways to transition from chord to chord result in some great "aha!" moments.
