Chord progression<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know my name\u201d is a great song to learn, regardless of your level on the ukulele. It features only four chords: C, F, Am and G. These are all fairly easy chords. Even if you have never played, you should be able to play these chords with just a bit of practice. And today is your lucky day! Besides the chords being easy, \u201cI don\u2019t know my name\u201d has the same progression for most of the song. In other words, you will play the same chords, in the same order for most of the song. It does not get any easier than that! The only part where it changes goes from F, G, Am, G where the lyric goes to \u201cI\u2019m lost trying to get found\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

Finger movement<\/span><\/h2>\n

Your first chord is C. To play it, place your ring finger on the third fret of the first string. Remember that the string closest to your leg is the first string. From there you’re going to the F chord. To play the F, place your middle finger on the fourth string second fret and your index finger on the second string first fret. Easy right? Great! Moving along, now\u2019s the turn of the Am chord. Just lift your index finger and there you have it. I told you this was easy! The last chord is G. Here you are going to place your index finger on the third string second fret. Follow that with the middle finger on the first string second fret and the index finger on the second string third fret. There you have it. That is the entire song.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n
