Pete Arnold will be running a workshop for us. Pete is a founder member of Ukaholics Anonymous, in Diss and teaches Ukulele, Guitar, Banjo, Mandolin and Bass at The Hub – Diss Music School.
This workshop is for people who know basic ukulele chords (eg. C F G7) and would like to further their understanding and ability to play Blues on a ukulele. Blues is the foundation of Rock and Roll, Rock, Jazz and other popular music forms. It follows a repeated 12 Bar structure, which makes it easy for jamming along with friends.
Petes normal format looks at:-
- Playing chords over the 12 Bar Blues pattern
- Using chord variations, including Barre Chords to accompany Blues songs
- Rhythm and strumming patterns, including the Boogie Woogie Shuffle
- Simple riffs and solos, using the Minor Pentatonic Scale
- Putting it all together to play a Blues song together
