Well-known member
I went to a Lil Rev concert and workshop last night, it was GREAT!!!! I learned some very, very useful tips and have made the resolution to practice and learn a triplet. He showed us a lot. I think the biggest thing I got out of it was that the ukulele is a unique instrument with very characteristic strum patterns that are unique to the instrument. He was a great teacher.
He will be making his way up the East Coast, Laurens tonight (Yesterukes) and Wilmington (Uke Academy), Maryland, etc. If you get a chance to attend, it is well worth your time.....and bring your non-uke playing friends for the concert. I have some links at the end of the e-mail you can check to see if he is coming your way.
I don't think I've met a nicer more sincere performer. He told great stories and played the uke with a delicate touch that make me want re-examine my "beating" on the strings.
The concert was great, with Lil Rev playing a lot of original tunes, telling great stories and illustrating what he taught in class in his performance, that was a nice touch. He also brought a great resource library of CD’s DVDs and Books to help you improve your skills.
He has a new CD coming out with some original tunes so check out his links:
