Squidgies Position Change
Found in: Curriculum, Foundation Songs

I’m learning to play Squidgies Boogie in level 4. I’m having a hard time understanding how to transition between the IV and I chords because I think “IV” ends on the very C that “I” should start with. I don’t see Neil’s hands do this transition in any of the training or SHMs. Can anyone provide feedback?

You’re correct – make the jump!

you will see i move finger 5 immediately after it has played its note to be ready to take over finger 1 on the C for the transition between the 4 chord and the 1 chord.With some students i make that an exercise in its self when i’m teaching Lead me to light to get them ready for the squidgees. I also get them counting at the start of foundation 4 and tapping on their legs so that process is finished before we start the song.I hope this helps you and good luck 🙂
