In this episode, we discuss the uBass family of instruments and techniques for playing them, chord variations, and Dani Joy's online ukulele academy. The episode begins with another brain training exercise for newbies, connecting the EF and BC notes that we covered in episode 3.
Rev and I discuss traditional American songs and muted strumming styles. There's much to explore with this master multi-instrumentalist. Plus more brain-training exercises; barre chords for newbies and the first steps for ingraining the notes of the neck into your ukulele brain!
Singer-Songwriter Victoria Vox and husband/musical partner Jack Maher discuss their thoughts on songwriting, percussive strumming, their time together as songwriting majors at Berklee College of Music, and their friendship with fellow-student-turned-guitar-superstar John Mayer. They also address a listener's question about soloing on the ukulele. The episode begins with a REVISED Percussive Strumming Brain-Training exercise for newer players. (I left a big chunk of it out the first time I posted!)
Daniel is a multi-instrumentalist, composer, producer, and six-time Grammy® award winner. He gave me the book that inspired this podcast, so it's only natural that he be my first guest. We discuss his career, various practice methods, and the theory behind The Little Book of Talent that has been an inspiration for both of us.
