What is a Twin Cities Ukulele Club Zoom Jam?
Zoom is a web-based video conferencing tool that allows users to meet online.
The Twin Cities Ukulele Club Zoom jams are just that - Jams! They are not open mics. In our Zoom jams, we most often sing and play songs that everyone knows well or songs that are fun and easy to pick up. They are most often 2, 3, 4, and occasionally 5 (or more) chord songs. However, we definitely like and want "advanced" songs that challenge our jammers and help them to become better ukulele players.

Is "your" song one of the "advanced" songs? Is it too much to play in the Zoom jam without the chance to practice it? If you’re not sure, just ask (though if you have to ask, it probably is).

Advanced songs:
- Are often more challenging with many chords or odd chord changes that are difficult for someone to learn and remember on the fly.
- Are songs written out (formatted) so they are difficult to read or follow because of no obvious breaks between verses and/or choruses.
- Are songs with no audio or video that jammers can use to learn the song melody.
- Are songs with no brackets [] around chords, which makes them far more difficult to pick out.
- Are songs where color is used for chords which often causes the chords print to dimly.
- Might be songs that include TAB sections.
What to do if you have an "advanced" song for the Sunday Zoom Jam? - Send it to Tony Anthonisen ([email protected]) by the Tuesday evening before the jam. He will post it in an Advanced Zoom Jam Song folder on Wednesday, and it will be a Zoom Jam song the following Sunday. Click on the link immediately below to see songs that Tom Ehlinger and Tony feel are "advanced." These songs are in Sunday Zoom date order so you can both see what is coming up and what "advanced" songs were played at past Zoom jams.

Important - Submitting your "advanced" songs early will be a way to help out your fellow jammers. It will also give them the chance to better participate in the jam, and they will be able to better appreciate the work you put into the song.
