I wanted to create this blog as a place where I can store and retrieve information for future reference. I chose the name Humble Uker Ramblings because I have started out strumming my father's 1950's painted Harmony ukulele. I think that the greatest appeal of the ukulele as "the people's instrument" is it's humble simplicity. My contact email is HumbleUker@gmail.com. I have also been working on a blog for the Baritone Ukulele called Humble Baritonics.

Thursday August 19, 2010 at the Ukulele Club of Santa Cruz
Sophisticated Blues with Jazz Ukulele Chords
Get your ukulele to cry out with some jazzy blues sounds. With just a few, easy-to-make jazz chords and patterns, you’ll learn how jazz players create that cool groove when they get together to jam. These hip jazz blues chords and patterns are fun to play and jam on, and have a more sophisticated sound than the usual three-chord blues. Get new rhythm ideas for the jazz blues too.
The ability to play simple bar chords or be willing to try is all that is necessary for this workshop.
Glen Rose is a professional jazz musician and college music teacher with four popular jazz ukulele books published. He leads his “Jazzy Ukulele” workshops around the West Coast and is sponsored by Riptide Ukulele.

Here's a testimonial from a recent Jazzy Ukulele class attendee...
"Well, it definitely was a great workshop with Glen Rose. Along with the 35+ attendees, I certainly learned how easy it is to work a jazz sound into so many uke tunes, and the possibilities may be endless. But, rather than work on my own, Glen Rose will be following up with the second session of his Jazzy Ukulele approach in just over a week at DaSilva Ukulele Co. If you were here for the first workshop, please join us again for Jazzy Ukulele, Part Two. If you were not with us, please be assured that the concept, approach, and Glen's teaching style will get you up and running quickly if you can handle some simple bar chords. Hope you can make it."

The Jazzy Uke Man GLEN ROSE is coming to SF Bay
He plays here on a MODIFIED baritone, it is soprano tuned G-C-E-A and has a low G. Glen is trying to get a broader range of notes. I am glad he's doing this work in standard soprano tuning because that is the most prevalent tuning. I have two main players that are both concert sized instruments, one is standard high-G and the other is low-G. I think every one should have atleast one of each!
