How to Play Down in the Valley | Easy Kid Songs | Ukulele for Beginners | 2 Chord Song C and G

Here's how to play Down in the Valley on the ukulele! You need just 2 chords, C & G. I give you 3 simple strumming pattern options to try out. This song is in 3/4 time, which means there are three beats per measure, instead of 4! It's also part of my Easy Kid Songs series, 10 songs for ukulele beginners. Check out the playlist to see all songs! Please note: these videos are not meant for kids, but rather are for grownups learning ukulele, doing so by building on their knowledge by learning and mastering simple kids songs. The only reason these videos would not be appropriate for kids is the occasional wine glass. (As my channel is Ukulele Wine Time). Thank you!
