DVD - Blues for the Ukulele

Download Only. The blues is a universal language everyone understands. Fred has selected seven classic tunes that sound terrific on ukulele; some are sad, some are funny, some tell a story. Besides learning great songs by Big Bill Broonzy, Blind Blake, Bessie Smith, Memphis Minnie and Henry Thomas, you'll learn licks, scales, turnarounds and techniques that'll enable you to jam with other players and ad-lib, blues-style. There's even a lesson on bottleneck/slide uke. Fred makes it easy, with split-screen, slowed down versions of the songs and helpful hints about the licks and picking styles. All the songs are written out in note/tab on the PDF file on the disc. Beginning/intermediate. 110 min.
