Learn to Play “O Shenandoah” in Chord Melody

by Brett McQueen

One of the most loved ways of playing ukulele is in the style of chord melody sometimes referred to as solo fingerpicking.

In this advanced style, you strum and pick the rhythm and melody of the song at the same time.

Today I give to you a free arrangement of O Shenandoah one of five chord melody arrangements I teach in the new 5 Chord Melody Songs course in Club Ukulele.

Watch the video and take a listen now.

You can learn to play this song today with the sheet music and ukulele tab.

If you’re a beginner, you might be wondering if you can play this.

Keep in mind chord melody is an intermediate to advanced way of playing ukulele. However, this doesn’t mean you can’t start learning the skills required to play in the chord melody style. While this might be outside your reach now, by taking the right steps, you can play this one day.
