Can you still recall the time when playing with your most favorite toys would make your day complete? When I was a child, I was able to retain my fondness in playing with my Barbie dolls and Dress up Games dolls. It is indeed a joyous feeling to be able to go back and reminisce the days that passed, when we were still kids and masters of our own worlds.

If you are the same as me who thrives on the nostalgic feeling that accompanies when I reminisce the bygone days, then maybe you’ll have a fun time visiting the Lego Art Show in Fargo, North Dakota. The Lego Art Show is a gathering that features all of the bestseller and most famous Lego toys ever produced. I remember playing with Lego as a kid; it brought me immense fun and happiness. My brother who is a Lego fanatic used to collect Lego toys and build a huge empire or castleland right at our living room.

Lego enthusiasts and aficionados gather at the Lego Art Show to experience the “Lego magic” that was not removed from all of us. Here we can see Lego train sets, a Lego village and even the most celebrated Lego Bible Chapters by a very talented artist. Check the Internet, and you’ll see his works spread all over as he reenacts famous chapters in the Bible using Lego toys.

Lego is a truly remarkable. Now that I’m a proud mother of a beautiful baby girl, I’m considering buying her educational and mind building toyslike Lego.

How To Play Ukulele Chord Changes Smoothly

by Al Wood

When you first start playing the ukulele, it can be very frustrating to get your chord changes flowing smoothly and sounding right. You’ll often hear beginner ukulele players strumming along and then have to slow down or stop completely when they have to change chords.

In this article we hope to help you overcome these problems and take your playing to the next level.

Tip 1: Get Super Slow

The problem of jerky playing arises when you try to play at too high a tempo. The best thing to do when tackling a new tune is to start slowly - VERY slowly! Once your fingers get used to it, it will be easier.

If you’re playing too fast, you will make mistakes. And the more mistakes you make, the more your fingers will repeat that same pattern and continue to make mistakes.

Tip 2: Keep Your Playing Even

This tip follows on nicely from the first. The idea is to play at such a speed that you can change chords without interrupting the flow of the music. If that means you have to play very slowly indeed, that’s not a problem at all.

Doing it this way will mean you playing is much tighter and less sloppy once you start to increase the tempo up to full performance speed.

Tip 3: Think Ahead

You should have in your mind and which chord comes next and how you’re going to change to it. Think of ways you could make that change easier for yourself.

A useful illustration of this idea is the change to a G chord (which is played 0232) from a C chord (0003). For the G chord, you’ll need to have your middle finger on the 2nd fret of the A string. And you can have it there while you are playing the C chord (since that requires you play the third fret with you ring finger).

You can also get ready for the chord change by having your fingers just over the fret and string they will be playing. So, in the example of the C to G change, you could have your index finger just above the second fret of the C string.
