Del Rey from Seattle WA, comes to Dallas - ONE DAY - Oct 23rd - Garland, TX -
Blue Uke Workshop/Concert Combo "savings" - $25.00
Workshop Only for $15.00
Concert Only for $15.00
The Blue Uke Workshop
Is this workshop for me?
You need to be familiar with basic chords, and be able to change chords easily while keeping time to participate in ths workshop.
What will be covered?
Fingerpick melodies and accompaniment on blues repertoire suitable for the ukulele. An introduction to right hand fingerpicking, what makes a melody "blue". Songs from 1920s guitar greats like Charlie Jordan and Barbecue Bob, suit the ukulele, but there are also little known ukesters Lemon Nash of Louisiana and Rabbit Muse of Virginia who were African American ukulele players and showmen with distinctive styles on traditional and standard jazz material.
Will there be handouts?
No. There will be some recordings played, and you will learn a song by ear (no tabs!). Bring a notebook and pencil along with your uke. Audio recorders are encouraged, but be discreet.
Can beginners come?
Yes. But don't expect to keep up if you do not have a basic chord knowledge, and are not yet skilled at switching between chords while keeping time. Beginners may not be able to accomplish the material, but there’s great information, and great music to listen too.
