The most useful strumming patterns for ukulele song accompaniment will be explored in this one evening workshop. We’ll learn the patterns and use them in songs right away to help you integrate them into your playing style. We’ll ony use patterns that give noticeably different feels to your song and examples of where you might use them. We’ll also look at strategies on how to choose the right strum for each new song.
You’ll learn:
- Useful fingerpicking patterns in for 4/4, 3/4 and 6/8 time signatures.
- How to choose a feel for a particular song. Is there a ‘right’ approach?
- How to choose a strum for each new song.
This workshop is open to anyone who is interested though it is helpful if you can play a dozen or so chords and move between them easily. | If you come to jams regularly and would like to just focus in on this technique, this workshop is for you.
