Can anyone give good tips on how to learn how to improvise *Picking* during a song?
I wrote a short piece on soloing at: http://liveukulele.com/lessons/soloing/
Hopefully that gives you something to work with.
thanks joka. i just ordered the roadmaps book. cant wait to get it.dis is one of da tings i wanna learn on da ukulele too. I got a couple of books dat helped me get used to picking:
Both of Herb Jr's books is full of info ... an da odda one I REALLY like is Fretboard Roadmaps for the Ukulele.
In dat book Jim Beloff goes through a TON of useful info on how you can get around da ukulele fretboard, from learning da positions of ANY chord (maj, min, and 7th) all da chord inversions, and den important scale patterns on da ukulele. Even get stuffs on chord progressions, blues boxes an all kine stuff liddat.
I still not pau da whole book, since i wen get one brain ovaload
But, I did learn how fo pick out melodies and try come up wit some intros to songs I like fo sing. Da odda plus side fo Beloff's book is dat it's real cheap, fo pake guys like me, and da ting even comes wit one CD !
thanks joka. i just ordered the roadmaps book. cant wait to get it.
i just went through amazon.Nuke, through what distributor did you order the roadmaps book through?
Regarding info for scales:
Mark Kailana Nelson's book "Learn to Play Fingerstyle Solos for 'Ukulele" has C,F,G scale in tab form at the beginning of the book. From there you can sort of figure out other scales.
Curt Sheller's, "Quickstart Scale Fingering for Uke, Volume 1 key of C Tuning" covers Blues, Pentantonic, Dorian, Mixolydian, Aeolina & Ionian scales. Each page has music notation with tabs and a graph of the fretboard plus a chart (root note/fret).
I purchased these books directly from the authors. Marks site is Mark-o- dot com. Curt's site is curtsheller dot com...
your link doesn't seem to be working.
