Instructions for the La Vie En Rose:
Chunking:
To play good ukulele songs, you also need to know how to “Chunk” or mute.
This technique is essential for playing the ukulele, along with chords, progressions and strumming patterns. The chunk is also something you need to play in some of the patterns. This is a way of creating a percussive sound by stopping the strings from vibrating. It can add rhythm and groove to your playing and it will immediately bring your playing to a more professional level.

You can also mute with the fingers that hold the chord, by lifting them slightly.
