Kanikapila Mondays - Drop Dead (Olivia Rodrigo) & Just Like Heaven (The Cure) - Easy Fretboard Chords & Soloing in G
Join us for this week’s Kanikapila — a relaxed, musical get-together where we learn, play, and explore together.
This session has a lovely connection running through it…
We’ll be playing:
Drop Dead – Olivia Rodrigo
Just Like Heaven – The Cure
(The Cure classic is even referenced in the lyrics of Drop Dead — so we’ll bring the two together in one session.)
What you’ll learn
Easy ways to play chords up the fretboard
How to find new shapes beyond open position
How to solo in the key of G
Connecting chords and melody across the neck
Hearing the relationship between harmony and melody
Musical focus
We’ll explore how:
⁃ chords can be moved and simplified higher up the neck
⁃ familiar shapes open up new musical possibilities
⁃ simple solo ideas can sit beautifully over chord progressions

Question for you
Have you ever tried playing chords higher up the neck before — or do you usually stay in open position?
If you’d like to join in, bring your uke and come play with us next week. Because kanikapila simply means “play music together.”
