Ukulele & Guitar for Fun
Instructor: Brook Adams
Week1: August 2-8, 2020

Ukulele and guitar are great instruments for playing alone and with friends. They share the same tuning and they sound good together. This class will cover fingerpicking and strumming, expand our bag of tricks for harmony and rhythm, and how to use chord combinations to make tension and release in songs. You’ll also learn how to learn a song, choose a key, find the chords and add ornaments. Each morning we’ll learn technique, followed by individual work, learning songs and interacting with me. Then we’ll jam and learn some fun songs as a group.

The high G Ukulele tuning allows for interesting picking patterns, and the limited number of strings make complicated chords easier. You don't have to be an ace, but you should already know how to strum and change chords smoothly. I teach mainly for the high G ukulele tuning. Low G tuning is OK but some tricks won't work with a low G. Bring a song and I will help you learn it through the week.
