Ukulele and Guitar Workshops
with
Del Rey
“Seattle-based queen of fingerstyle blues”
Sunday July 10, 2011
Lake Anne Plaza
North Shore Drive and Village Road, Reston Virginia 20190
Introduction To Fingerpicking the Ukulele, 1:00-2:15 pm
For you strummers, here's a song that will get you started using your right hand in a different way. Papa Charlie Jackson's "Mama Don't You Think I Know," a funny old tune in C with an easy-to-hear fingerpicking pattern, will get you started picking out ragtime and blues tunes on the uke. Students should be able to play C, C7, F, F7 and G7 without hesitation.
Blue Uke, 2:30-3:45 pm
Intermediate (be comfortable with first position chords and be able to keep time)
Blues, rags and old songs for the ukulele, with a focus on fingerpicking the melody. Tunes like the Mississippi River Waltz, Tappin’ That Thing (Memphis Jug Band) and Tired Chicken (Gus Cannon)...by ear, no TAB.
Moving Bass lines for Fingerstyle Guitar, 4:00-5:15 pm
Intermediate-Advanced
Want to play like a pianist? Walking and boogie-woogie bass lines for fingerstyle guitar. Learn the positions where you can find both chords and moving bass. Standard tuning. Recorders ok.***
Workshops are $25 each.
For information, or to register, contact Ann Granger at 703-470-3038 or AnnThePotter@gmail.com.

Del Rey is the awesomest! Saw her at a house show in Md. last year. Can't wait to see her again.
