In this book you are going to explore all the techniques and tools that you need to Master The Baritone Ukulele. This book is broken up into 4 main sections:
- Chords and Strumming
- Songs
- Blues
- Scales
SECTION 01: Chords and Strumming
The chords and strumming section can be a course unto itself. You will learn the most essential chords and rhythms on the baritone ukulele that you will see in thousands of songs. While you’re learning these chords, you’ll be applying them to the most important strum patterns that you need to know. The strum patterns will start easy but steadily increase in difficulty to help you become proficient with patterns like the popular “Island Strum” (aka the “Grandaddy Strum”).
SECTION 02: Songs
This is your time to shine. You’ll be taking all the wonderful chords and strum patterns you learned in Chords and Strumming section and apply them to the most influential and well-known progressions of all time. These progressions have been used by countless artists, including The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Otis Redding, Green Day, Bob Marley, Van Morrison, IZ, Vance Joy, Ritchie Valens, and Jason Mraz. Since the Master The Baritone Ukulele book wouldn’t be complete without some fingerstyle, there are two songs that will teach you the most widely used fingerpicking patterns, P.I.M.I. and P.I.M.A.
SECTION 03: Blues
Become a Blues Master. Blues is one of the most important styles of music to learn since it is the basis of Rock music, which in turn has influenced almost every style of music since the 1950’s. You are going to learn Blues Strumming, Blues Shuffle, Blues Rock, Boogie Woogie Blues, Slow Triplet Blues, Blues Rasgueado, and Funky Jazz Blues. Once you get these Blues lessons down, you’ll be amazed at how your playing, confidence, technique, and your ear will improve.
SECTION 04: Scales
Learning your scales is great for many reasons. Since scales make up the basis of melodies and soloing on the baritone ukulele, practicing and memorizing scales is vital. You will learn the essential scales such as Major, Minor Pentatonic, Blues, and Natural Minor, as well as some exotic scales like the Harmonic Minor and the Whole Tone.
