You VERY FIRST Solo - Blues Ukulele
Added 2024-01-03 23:02:50 +0000 UTCMake sure you download the backing track with this lesson, too.
Today we are going to learn how to play an easy solo on the ukulele, but don't be fooled, it may be easy but it is a professional solo that is dressed to impress! Triplets, double stops, half step slides, minor to major 3rd hammer ons, the flat 5th, bends, pull offs, passing tones, every technique that the pros used packed into a nice easy beginner solo for all levels playing to learn. The only thing that might be tricky if you are a total beginner is the idea of triplets which is playing three notes over one quarter beat. One of the things that helped me learn to play the was saying "Straw-ber-ry" with a click track as those are three syllables over one beat. That can help you learn the concept of triplets and help you with the timing.
