(as always, you will warm up with two chord songs with strum instruction.)
Directions to my house and information on the gate code are listed below the song list at the bottom of Requirements, under section 6!
REQUIREMENTS: 1st Timers, please read!
-
Shopping List: You MUST get a tuner for Ukulele at either Sam Ash, Guitar Center, or some mom and pop music store. I also want you to invest in a Banjo/mandolin Capo. You will get a 10% discount at Sam Ash in Clearwater if you mention TBUS. Bring the tuner and capo to the meet up! Print out your music that is listed below and bring that with you to the session. Bring a small music stand to place your music on.
-
Go to http://30sukegirl.blogspot.com/p/absolute-beginner.html to the ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS page. Scroll down to the first video and tune your UKULELE with that video, (or use one of the links below to tune up) then go through the first three or four videos to learn the basic chords. These are valuable lessons and you need to come prepared to these sessions with at least these basics. I review the basic chords on each session, but if you consistently practice with these videos that Chile Monster has allowed me to post, you will move much quicker through the jams and sessions.
-
Then, the night before our meet up, please check your tuning again. Here are links to tuner sites if you still haven't bought a tuner. These sites are helpful, but you will be tuning by ear. http://www.get-tuned.com/online_ukulele_tuner.php or you can use http://ukebuddy.com/ukulele-tuner .
-
This will expedite our tuning time and help us move through the sessions covering more material. If you come unprepared, you are welcome to sit in, watch and listen, but I will not be able to stop the session to teach these very basic steps, as we have new players each Wednesday and we'd never move forward otherwise. So, help out your fellow meet up partners and come prepared with the above mentioned skills and items. You will learn so much more that way!
New Beginner Sessions Page posted on the Blog for past Sessions. Charts are now available on that page from the 1st Session. More to come. Follow this link directly to the page for catching up!
