Stuart Fuchs Ukulele Workshop/Concert

Rockabilly for the Uke: "Uke-a-billy"

In this workshop, Kala Ukulele artist Stuart "Stukulele" Fuchs will teach
rockabilly & rock n' roll guitar styles adapted for the Ukulele. Rockabilly
is an incredibly fun style of music to play, blending elements of country &
honky tonk, blues, swing, and gospel influences. The artists &
songwriters who pioneered this toe-tapping style truly revolutionized 20th
century music, culture and also influenced the rock n' roll "British
Invasion" of the 1960's.

In this workshop you'll learn how to play rhythm & accompaniment styles
unique to this quintessential American roots music. In addition, Stuart's
vast experience in teaching improvisation will also open the gateway for
you to take an improvised solo on your Ukulele - even if you have never
done it before - you'll find out just how easy & natural soloing can be!

In the "Uke-a-billy" workshop residency you'll learn:
Classic songs from artists such as Elvis, Johnny Burnette, Carl
Perkins, Chuck Berry, The Beatles & many more!
Accompaniment strums, groove & feel,
Boogie-woogie bass lines,
Chord based fills & solos,
Single note & double stop soloing (ala Chuck Berry),
12 bar blues form

This workshop is open to ALL LEVELS of experience. Even if you're a
beginning Uke player, there is something you will take away from this
"Uke-a-billy" workshop. Stuart orchestrates each workshop group into
an experience of a multi-part Ukulele band that is as joyful as it is
instructional. C'MONGO CAT GO!!!
