Glen Rose || I Wish You Love (Lesson)

Janet, a uke player that goes to the Berkeley Ukulele Club and just became a follower of Humble Uker, asked me why I have a page for Glen Rose. Well the reason is that Glen is an extremely talented jazz musician that has attempted to make jazz music more understandable and accessible to the average ukulele player. Glen's is a teacher and his instruction books are well thought out, easy to follow and inexpensive.

UKULELE HUNT UKULELE LESSONS for ALL LEVELS

This Humble Uker always bows to the Prolific and Talented One, yes -- Alistair Wood the creator of UKULELE HUNT is now breaking things down for learners in every stage. That's what I am all about here - learning how to play music on the little instrument. Al shares a dose of his thoughts on musical topics and he generously shares CHORD and TAB arrangements almost daily.

I also put a link in my MUSIC STUDY, TOOLS section. Thanks Al, HU

BAJAN PIED PIPER LESSONS [stored here]

Hello uke friends, I have only listened to a portion of these videos and I cannot claim to really know much about the lessons contained here. I have assembled them together in a way that is a little easier to find in sequence so that I can study and test these lessons. I will post later on my experiences and progress. For right now I'd like to give a preliminary thanks for all the efforts of the Bajan Pied Piper to assemble his thoughts on YouTube.

Also note that the Bajan Pied Piper takes time to put a lot of information on the YouTube notes. Be sure to click the 'more' portion of the notes on the right sidebar of YouTube. AND I have put a link to this post on the MUSIC THEORY section of this blog (right margin about 1/2 way down). HU

KENI LEE BURGESS - 3 STRING WALKING BASS LESSON {CLICK HERE} DON'T MISS THIS!

Smokin' Ukes

--^ oOo ^--

.

Earlier today I was discussing getting a few people for a group closer to home. I was suggesting that we might also bring other instruments in to our realm to get a bit fuller sound. After watching the Playing for Change videos and seeing the washboard percussion with the thimbles and steel cups, and trying one while I was in Alaska last year with my wife, Wendy, I have been impressed with the power of simple instruments. I also tried a 1-string washbasin bass when I was there.

--

I watched a video by Keni Lee Burgess today of him giving a lesson on a 3-string cigar box instrument. I was totally engrossed in his description and extremely simple instructions as well as the amazing sound that came from the instrument. I couldn't embed the video here but if you click the title of this post you will be taken directly to YouTube. HU
