Ludovico Einaudi (born 23 November 1955) is an Italian contemporary classical music composer and pianist. Although Einaudi would prefer not to be labeled as any particular type of genre, he is sometimes referred to as Minimalist. This is despite his music not sharing the key musical properties associated with minimalism. This may be due to his music possessing sparse orchestration and simplistic melodies that some may wish to refer to as 'minimalist' despite not belonging to the musical movement of Minimalism. Einaudi's own words on the matter reflect this viewpoint, with Einaudi referring to Minimalism as 'elegance and openness', despite its more formal definition as a musical movement to which he arguably does not belong.
Jakob Ludwig Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, born, and generally known in English-speaking countries, as Felix Mendelssohn (February 3, 1809 – November 4, 1847) was a German composer, pianist, organist and conductor of the early Romantic period. The grandson of the philosopher Moses Mendelssohn, he was born into a notable Jewish family, although he himself was brought up initially without religion, and later as a Lutheran. He was recognized early as a musical prodigy, but his parents were cautious and did not seek to capitalise on his abilities. Indeed his father was disinclined to allow Felix to follow a musical career until it became clear that he intended to seriously dedicate himself to it. Early success in Germany was followed by travel throughout Europe; Mendelssohn was particularly well received in England as a composer, conductor and soloist, and his ten visits there, during which many of his major works were premiered, form an important part of his adult career. His essentially conservative musical tastes however set him apart from many of his more adventurous musical contemporaries such as Liszt, Wagner and Berlioz. The Conservatory he founded at Leipzig became a bastion of this anti-radical outlook.
Mendelssohn's work includes symphonies, concerti, oratorios, piano and chamber music. He also had an important role in the revival of interest in the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. After a long period of relative denigration due to changing musical tastes and antisemitism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, his creative originality is now being recognized and re-evaluated. He is now among the most popular composers of the Romantic era. High School Musical 3: Senior Year is a musical film released to cinemas in 2008.

Chibi Vampire, originally released in Japan as Karin (Japanese: かりん?), is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Yuna Kagesaki.
The story is about an unusual vampire girl, who instead of drinking blood must inject it into others because she produces too much. Chibi Vampire first premiered in the shōnen magazine Monthly Dragon Age in the October 2003 issue, and ran until February 2008. The individual chapters were published by Kadokawa Shoten into fourteen collected volumes. In 2003, Tohru Kai began writing a series of light novels based on the manga, with Kagesaki providing the illustrations. The nine-volume series was published in Japan by Fujimi Shobo.
Both the manga and light novel series are licensed for English language release by Tokyopop. Tokyopop renamed the manga series to Chibi Vampire and the novel series to Chibi Vampire: The Novel. In 2005, an anime adaptation was produced by J.C.Staff and directed by Shinichiro Kimura. Spanning twenty-four episodes, the series aired in Japan on WOWOW from November 3, 2005 through May 11, 2006.
It was licensed for an English release to Region 1 DVD, under the original name Karin, by Geneon USA.

Benjamin Scott Folds (born September 12, 1966 in Winston-Salem, North Carolina) is an American singer and pianist. He originally gained fame as a member of the rock band, Ben Folds Five. Ben has released three solo albums: Fear of Pop: Volume 1, Rockin' the Suburbs, and Ben Folds Live.
Fear of Pop was released while Ben Folds Five were still together; Suburbs and Live were released afterwards. Since Fear of Pop is highly experimental and Live is a collection of live solo recordings of mostly songs originally recorded with Ben Folds Five, Rockin' the Suburbs is Ben's first proper solo release. In late 2003 two solo EPs: Speed Graphic and Sunny 16 were released, with a third entitled Super D released in mid-2004. He currently resides in Adelaide, Australia with his wife, Frally Hynes, and two children, Louis and Grace. He tours Japan and the United States, as well as other parts of the world periodically. Folds also produced and arranged the most recent William Shatner album, Has Been (2004); he previously worked with Shatner on the songs 'In Love' and 'Still in Love' for Fear of Pop. Folds described his former band, Ben Folds Five, as 'punk rock for sissies,' and his oddball lyrics often contain nuances of depression, melancholy and self-conflict.
While he was with the band Ben Folds Five and since his departure, Folds also provided a number of songs for films soundtrack. Some of these include 'Lonely Christmas Eve' for the film How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (2000) and a rendition of the Beatles' 'Golden Slumbers' for the film I Am Sam (2001). On a planned tour of Australia, Folds teamed up with fellow namesakes Ben Kweller and Ben Lee to travel the country together as The Bens, at the suggestion of a fan on Ben Kweller's official website. The trio also went on to record an four-track EP together, entitled The Bens.
In summer of 2004, Folds co-headlined an American tour with fellow rockers Rufus Wainwright and Guster. His fourth solo album entitled 'Songs for Silverman' is slated for release on April 26, 2005.

Ludwig van Beethoven (16 December 1770 - 26 March 1827) was a German composer and pianist.
He was a crucial figure in the transitional period between the Classical and Romantic eras in Western classical music, and remains one of the most respected and influential composers of all time. Born in Bonn, then in the Electorate of Cologne (now in modern-day Germany), he moved to Vienna in his early twenties and settled there, studying with Joseph Haydn and quickly gaining a reputation as a virtuoso pianist. Beethoven's hearing gradually deteriorated beginning in his twenties, yet he continued to compose masterpieces, and to conduct and perform, even after he was completely deaf. George Frideric Handel (Friday, 23 February 1685 - Saturday, 14 April 1759) was a German-born Baroque composer who is famous for his operas, oratorios and concerti grossi.
Born as Georg Friedrich Handel in Halle, he spent most of his adult life in England, becoming a subject of the British crown on 22 January 1727. His most famous works are Messiah, an oratorio set to texts from the King James Bible; Water Music; and Music for the Royal Fireworks. Strongly influenced by the techniques of the great composers of the Italian Baroque and the English composer Henry Purcell, his music was known to many significant composers who came after him, including Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven. Handel's compositions include 42 operas; 29 oratorios; more than 120 cantatas, trios and duets; numerous arias; chamber music; a large number of ecumenical pieces; odes and serenatas; and sixteen organ concerti.
His most famous work, the Messiah oratorio with its 'Hallelujah' chorus, is among the most popular works in choral music and has become a centerpiece of the Christmas season. Also popular are the Opus 3 and 6 Concerti Grossi, as well as 'The Cuckoo and the Nightingale', in which birds are heard calling during passages played in different keys representing the vocal ranges of two birds. Also notable are his sixteen keyboard suites, especially The Harmonious Blacksmith. Handel introduced various previously uncommon musical instruments in his works: the viola d'amore and violetta marina (Orlando), the lute (Ode for St. Cecilia's Day), three trombones (Saul), clarinets or small high cornets (Tamerlano), theorbo, French horn (Water Music), lyrichord, double bassoon, viola da gamba, bell chimes, positive organ, and harp (Giulio Cesare, Alexander's Feast). Brian McKnight (born June 5, 1969) is a Grammy-nominated American singer, songwriter, arranger, producer, pop and R&B musician. He is a multi-instrumentalist who can play nine instruments: piano, guitar, bass guitar, drums, percussions, trombone, tuba, French horn and trumpet.
McKnight’s vocal style is his own. He does however draw heavily (particularly in his use of melisma) from Stevie Wonder and Michael Sembello. Echoes of Michael McDonald, Kenny Loggins and Take 6 founder Claude V McKnight can also be heard in McKnights voice. Mcknight also has an uncanny ability to mimic the timbre and style of other singers. He can do a spot on imitation of Nat King Cole, Stevie Wonder, Prince and feels comfortable singing songs written in higher keys.

The band is noted for their musical diversity, multi-layered arrangements, vocal harmonies, and incorporation of audience participation into their live performances. Their 1985 Live Aid performance was voted the best live rock performance of all time in an industry poll. Queen had moderate success in the early 1970s, with the albums Queen and Queen II, but it was with the release of Sheer Heart Attack in 1974 and A Night at the Opera the following year that the band gained international success. They have released fifteen studio albums, five live albums, and numerous compilation albums. Eighteen of these have reached number one on charts around the world.

The band has experienced several lineup changes, with frontman, guitarist and main songwriter Robert Smith—known for his iconic wild hair, pale complexion, smudged lipstick and frequently gloomy and introspective lyrics—being the only constant member. The members of The Cure first started releasing music in the late 1970s. Their first album, Three Imaginary Boys (1979), and early singles placed them as part of the post-punk and New Wave movements that had sprung up in the wake of the punk rock revolution in the United Kingdom.
During the early 1980s the band's increasingly dark and tormented music helped form the gothic rock genre. After the release of Pornography (1982), the band's future was uncertain and frontman Robert Smith was keen to move past the gloomy reputation his band had cultivated.
With the 1982 single 'Let's Go to Bed' Smith began to inject more of a pop sensibility into the band's music. The Cure's popularity increased as the decade wore on, especially in the United States, where the songs 'Just Like Heaven', 'Lovesong' and 'Friday I'm in Love' entered the Billboard Top 40 charts. By the start of the 1990s, The Cure were one of the most popular alternative rock bands in the world and have sold an estimated 27 million albums as of 2004. The Cure have released twelve studio albums and over thirty singles, with a thirteenth album, 4:13 Dream, due for release in October 2008. Bruce Frederick Joseph Springsteen (born September 23, 1949) is an influential American songwriter, singer and guitarist. He has recorded and toured with the E Street Band.

His eloquence in expressing ordinary, everyday problems has earned him numerous awards, including eighteen Grammy Awards and an Academy Award, along with a notoriously dedicated and devoted global fan base. His most famous albums, Born to Run and Born in the U.S.A., epitomize his penchant for finding grandeur in the struggles of daily life. He has sold over 65 million albums in the U.S. Springsteen's lyrics often concern men and women struggling to make ends meet.
He has gradually become identified with progressive politics. Springsteen is also noted for his support of various relief and rebuilding efforts in New Jersey and elsewhere, and for his response to the September 11, 2001 attacks, on which his album The Rising reflects. Springsteen's recordings have tended to alternate between commercially accessible rock albums and somber folk-oriented works. Much of his iconic status stems from the concerts and marathon shows in which he and the E Street Band present intense ballads, rousing anthems, and party rock and roll songs, amongst which Springsteen intersperses long, whimsical or deeply emotional stories. Springsteen has long had the nickname 'The Boss', a term which he was initially reported to hate but now seems to have come to terms with, as he sometimes jokingly refers to himself as such on stage. The nickname originated when a young Springsteen, playing club gigs with a band in the 1960s, took on the task of collecting the band's nightly pay and distributing it amongst his bandmates.
Uke & Guitar – Lyrics & Chords – Tablature – Audio Samples – Solos – Duets – Trios – Ensembles “The more you love music, the more music you love.” ― Tom Moon, 1,000 Recordings to Hear Before You Die “People would come and people would go, I realized then, but music would be there until the end of time.” ― Len Vlahos, The Scar Boys Welcome to the Green Bay Ukulele Club’s free sheet music page! We’re very excited to share our music with you. The Green Bay Ukulele Club has over 500 songs in its repertoire, and on this page are some examples of our club favorites. This is some of our best stuff! A central tenet of the Green Bay Ukulele Club’s mission is to promote and share the simple joy of playing music together. We love to show our audiences how beautiful and versatile an instrument the ukulele can be.
Multiple ukulele and guitar parts are provided for each song, so find a partner and start jamming! Most of the songs feature a uke melody and a uke countermelody, which stand alone as an instrumental duet. Add the guitar part and you’ve got a full-sounding trio. Start singing and you’ve got a band! Add another uke or two and now you’ve got an orchestra! Many thanks to my wife Julie, for her assistance and forbearance; and my sons, Clayton and Cody, and my students (especially Isabelle, Brady, Owen, and Noah) for helping me develop these arrangements of some of the world’s greatest songs.
And special thanks to Suzanne Kasten for her enthusiastic support! Most of the songs are in their original key. Michael Monfils And don’t forget to sing with a friend! OUR BIGGEST HITS “If Music is a Place — then Jazz is the City, Folk is the Wilderness, Rock is the Road, Classical is a Temple.” ― Vera Nazarian At the top of our list, perhaps Queen’s best song. At first blush it sounds like it is telling a tale from the bygone era of sailing ships, but it’s actually a song about space travel, which also means time travel: “ For so many years have gone, though I’m older but a year, your mother’s eyes, from your eyes, cry to me...” Can ya believe it?
That super-high voice ain’t Freddie Mercury; it’s the drummer, Roger Taylor, banging on the tambourine and singing harmonies! Scroll down for a great version of “The Pink Panther Theme.” Also, if you’re a big Henry Mancini fan like I am, you’ll want to check out “Moon River” from “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” in its original key. “ They’re creepy and they’re kooky...”: This one’s dedicated to my cousin Robbie, who is an Addams Family fan and does a great impersonation of “Lurch.” PERFORMANCE NOTES: It’s a scary song, but don’t let all those little rests scare you; they’re just there to chop it up and add a fun “bounce” to the melody. Use a heavy pick and pick close to the bridge for a brighter sound. Regarding the uke duet, because of the limited range of the ukulele a functional countermelody for Uke 2 is impractical, so the uke duet melody is accompanied by Uke 3’s lightly strummed chords instead. Just saw KISS last night; the “Freedom to Rock” tour. Whatta great show!
Celebrating over 40 years of Kisstory! These guys are the hardest working band in show biz. My favorite producer, Bob Ezrin, was the genius behind the musical arrangement of this iconic rock ballad. Try strumming the chords in the boxes on the page and listen to the unique voicings which create the mood.
I wanted to do justice to the harmony in the song, so you’re going to see some things in our club version that you won’t find anywhere else. I will be tweaking this tune and adding the piano intro and string section soon. NOTE TO GUITAR PLAYERS: Don’t be lazy! Play the “slash chords” as written. If you play the pedal bass C in the voicings of the first three chords (C, Dm, Em = C, Dm/C, Em/C) you will sound exactly like the orchestrated arrangement of the studio version of this song.
“Cuz me and the boys’ll be playin... All niiiiiiiiiiight...”.
“You hear lots of notes, don’t you? Some have a major sound. Some have a minor sound. But there’s not one blue note among all these black and white keys. The real blues, the soul of the sound, comes from the spaces in-between.” ― David Mutti Clark, Professor Brown Shoes Teaches the Blues PERFORMANCE NOTES: This charming tune is a great introduction to “blues” and “swing”; the melody is easy to play and the rhythm is catchy. Try it at different tempos. The modal shift between the C chord and the Ab7 creates a unique mood that really makes the song stand out.
It is really fun when a good soloist improvises some jazzy lines over it. “Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and life to everything.” ― Plato I’m a lucky guy; I’ve got two great boys. It has been relatively easy to find excellent role models for them. They say it’s difficult being a girl growing up these days. If you’re looking for a positive role model for your daughter, you couldn’t do much better than Carol Burnett, a very funny, classy, and talented lady.: (We are very happy with the large number of downloads this file has been getting; it perhaps shows that Western civilization isn’t on the skids as bad as some people think!). And if you’re looking for “When Irish Eyes Are Smiling” you can find it on the FREE MUSIC (EASY) page. Yup, it’s the “ Even though, we ain’t got money, I’m sooo in love with ya honey” song: PERFORMANCE NOTES: Notice that in the Verse section the guitar uses open chords and then in the Chorus section the guitar uses moveable barre chords.
Start out with a light touch and with each successive Verse and Chorus add more strums, fills, and volume. Kenny’s vocal phrasing is exquisite; if you can sing like this guy you are a very good singer.
The world needs more songs with a positive message like this one. Now go give your spouse and/or kids a hug. “God is love, and music is the language of love; therefore, music is the language of God.
Music is a language more profound than words. How often have you heard a great piece of music and felt that? Great music does not just make you feel good; great music suggests some profound truth or mysterious meaning that is objectively true but not translatable into words.” ― Peter Kreeft “For those in peril, on the sea...”: UPDATED MARCH 30, 2017 PERFORMANCE NOTES: This is a nice full arrangement that requires 3 guitars for full effect.
Guitar 2 is a beautiful low countermelody taken from the U.S. Navy Band Sea Chanters’ choir. When I was a kid I sometimes stayed up past midnight on Friday or Saturday night to watch the late movie on Channel 2; the station would sign off with the “Star-Spangled Banner” and then finally a haunting version of “Eternal Father, Strong to Save” accompanying a short dramatic film of rolling waves on The Ocean Blue.
The low-register voices combined with the imagery were very powerful and made a deep impression on me. “Their brands were still on fire and their hooves wuz made of steel...”: Check out this new version!!!
12, 2017 PERFORMANCE NOTES: Wow! This is a BIG song with a BIG sound! “Ghost Riders” has been one of the most downloaded files on this site, even before the big update. I have a lot to say about this one. You’ll need two good guitar players to play this arrangement.
The ukes are used mostly to bolster and add interest to the Chorus section. Guitar 1 should pick near the bridge of the guitar for a clean, biting “western” sound. The guitars play an interesting voicing of D which are actually Dadd4 chords. With that open G string running through them they have an added air of mystery and “spookiness.” The files do not reflect the song in its entirety, but do include all the major sections you need to know. Learn how to play your parts from the tablatures, then refer to the Lyrics & Chords sheet for the form of the song, and work from that to play the whole song. This tune is a big hit around here, of course. I grew up here in Green Bay during the Lombardi years.
The live jazz band of the old days at Lambeau was much better than the “canned” pop music the NFL mandates these days. I used to live two blocks away from the stadium.
I parked cars on my yard for 75 cents. I had a regular patron from Detroit who always gave me 20 bucks for a reserved spot under the big willow tree for his Cadillac; if he couldn’t make it to a game he sent me a 20 dollar bill in the mail anyway. What a gentleman! He bothered to know my name and address, and he kept me on retainer. I think he was trying to teach me something; I know he was. Those days are sure long-gone. We’re talking the equivalent of about $200 at today’s rate! But the memory of him is worth more to me than the money.
I hope that during their lives my sons will have similar encounters with strangers who will impart such an ethos to them. We need more people like that guy.
I can still remember the roar of the crowd and the crash of the cymbals!: PERFORMANCE NOTES: This arrangement uses a call-and-response form, where different instrumental sections play at different times, and also overlap for maximum effect. “Fight” songs like this should be played with bold accents and sharp contrast. MASTER CLASS: “My huckleberry friend...”: The famous scene where Audrey Hepburn debuts this lovely song. There’s so much to say about this one. I woke up one morning with this tune in my head and I had to tab it out right away so I could get on with the rest of my life.
Many ukulele websites already have versions of this song so why should I make one more? Because THIS IS THE ORIGINAL Henry Mancini version from the movie “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”, that’s why! It’s an exquisite arrangement! Henry Mancini (of Pink Panther fame) was a composer of my generation. I love his blend of classical, blues, Gypsy jazz, and ’50s and ’60s beatnik and hippie pop and rock styles; he seamlessly wedded traditional with modern.
“Moon River” won an Academy Award for Best Original Song and Grammy Awards for Record of the Year and Song of the Year in 1962. PERFORMANCE NOTES: The song starts off with Audrey’s solo guitar part, which in the studio recording is capoed at the 1st fret and uses lots of barre chords (don’t forget that you have to finger chords away from the capo one fret higher than written). It goes into full bloom when the rest of the instruments join in at measure 19. This is real “goosebump” territory. The arrangement is in the original key and is very faithful to the original; you’re going to need two very good guitarists to do it justice.
If you are a serious student of music, you need to study this piece! It has so many good things in it to teach you. TRUE CONFESSIONS: Tears came to my eyes when the beauty of this song revealed itself to me. (Maybe it should have been called “Breakfast at Epiphany’s.”) Ha ha Full Poker Odds Calculator Pro Version Crack. ...
Anyway, knock yourself out. This is why I do this. It’s worth it. Another favorite TV show... The interplay between Grandpa and Hermann was hilarious: “ The shin bone’s connected to the ankle bone...”: PERFORMANCE NOTES: We wanted to keep it in the original key of E minor so Uke 1 is tuned [gBEA]. Uke 2 emulates the famous creepy harpsichord part which was the signature riff of the early version of the song and is quite a challenge to play.
To make it easier for uke groups we split up Uke 2’s part into two parts for Ukes 3 and 4. The addition of Uke 5’s lower voice completes the “chimey” chorused sound of the harpsichord. Uke 6’s light block chords help fill the harmony and reveal something about the structure of the song. Guitar 2 is in drop-D tuning = [DADGBe]. Guitar 3 has a special role as the background driving Duane Eddy-style low “secret agent” kind of riff which was so popular at the time. It should be played with palm mutes.
It’s not very loud but it adds a lot to the overall vibe. The b5 in the chords creates the haunting Halloweeny” sound. The b5 interval forms the very dissonant “tri-tone” chord which used to be known as “The Devil’s Chord.”. There’s a land that I heard of, once in a lullaby...”: PERFORMANCE NOTES: This arrangement for solo uke is in the same key as the original (Ab major) which normally is not considered a uke-friendly key, nor a guitar-friendly key for that matter. However, you’ll find that the ukulele’s open G string adds a lot of nuance, color, and sophistication to many of the chords. Try playing it along with the movie.
Someday I’m gonna wish upon a star and produce a decent ensemble version of this classic piece. In the meantime, enjoy... For the popular Izzy uke version called “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” go to the FREE MUSIC (EASY) page on this website.
This one was a lot of fun to transcribe: PERFORMANCE NOTES: Uke 2 plays the signature keyboard riff at the beginning. The best way to play it is with barre chords shifting position crisply between 5th and 6th positions. I pick the Intro section fingerstyle, with the thumb and index and middle fingers, sort of like banjo rolls. Uke 4 plays an important role as the background vocal harmonies, which really fill in the sound and accurately emulate the original recording. Have fun with this one; I sure did!
WHAT WERE THEY THINKIN’ IN THE 1970S? #19: “Hey!” PERFORMANCE NOTES: Uke 2’s 3rd string is tuned one half-step lower = [gBEA] so that it can play the melody an octave lower than Uke 1. The ukes are in a supportive role so there’s no uke duet; this piece has a “big bottom” and showcases the guitars and bass.
If you don’t have a drummer/percussionist you should improvise something with anything at hand. Be sure to get your audience clapping and stomping; this is definitely an audience participation number. Here it is in all its glory. So squeeze into your old shiny tinfoil leisure suit and rock on! Glam rock at its best and worse. Another guilty pleasure. Only at the Green Bay Ukulele Club.
“On with the show, this is it!”: PERFORMANCE NOTES: Uke 1’s 3rd string is tuned one half-step lower to B = [gBEA]. The tempo looks really fast, but that’s because I chose to go with a simple meter so that the music would be much easier to read and use. The bass part really moves in this one, and drives the rhythm.
Play it with showtune-style energy. My Saturday mornings started bright and early at 7:00 am with this show and a bowl of my favorite cereal. The content and gags were more adult fare than kids’ stuff, and the art, music, sound effects and voice characterizations were top-notch. That Mel Blanc was a genius. My Aunt Verona used to make goggles out of her hands and sing this song to me because I liked airplanes so much (I still do).
The era between the World Wars was known as the Golden Age of Flight. The “Junior Birdmen of America” was a national youth organization in the 1930s dedicated to aviation education and “airmindedness.” Back then, in a pre-digital age, the airplane and rocket were the ultimate symbols of technological progress.
If you ask people today to name examples of technology they will mention computers, smart TVs, cell phones, and the like.. And I think to myself... “: This song has an interesting history. It was initially a bust in the United States because the promo people didn’t like it but it was a huge hit in the UK. The juxtaposition of this beautiful tune with its naively simple melody and the heavy stuff going down in the world politically and socially during that time made its message all the more poignant and happy/sad. Oh, the humanity... PERFORMANCE NOTES: This song is not as hard to play as you might think; give it a try.
If you examine the tablature you will notice that once you get past the high-register intro it settles down and you can pretty much play the rest of it in 1st position. With a decent guitar player it makes a beautiful duet. Is like looking into the night sky, or the Grand Canyon... There’s something about it that seems to speak about things that are beyond the mundane. And it’s an interesting thing that music can do that, because although it has this arguably transcendental element, it’s also something that’s very accessible to people in general. It’s very rare to find someone who doesn’t like music; so it’s transcendental and universal at the same time.
The funny thing is, it’s that music speaks to you of meaning whether you understand it or not, and that’s one of the reasons it’s an imperishable art.” — Dr. Peterson, Clinical Psychologist and Most-Interesting-Person-in-the-Room “Makes no difference who you are...”: NOTICE: Sit tight folks! A supercalifragilistic new uke duet version and a beautiful full ensemble version of this wonderful tune are in the works. I’ll have them for you soon. In the meantime, keep practicing...
By the way, the guy in the white tunic with his arms folded in the background is Robin Trower, a British blues/rock guitarist of some repute. He has the strongest natural vibrato I’ve ever seen, and his tone, control of feedback, and sense of dynamics are superb. My heroes I can count on the fingers of one hand. He’s one of them.
Here he is adding color and shape to two of Bryan Ferry’s songs on Jay Leno. Watch him — he is a “zone” player, and a master of his art. I’ve got goose bumps!: “I’ve found in composing that being simple and profound—having in-depthness in your music—is the most difficult thing to do. Anybody can write a whole lot of notes, which may or may not say something... But why make it complicated for the musicians to play?
Why make it difficult for the listeners to hear?” ― Horace Silver “But I wanna know for sure...”. CLASSICAL MUSIC Classical tablature is coming soon! “All the good music has already been written by people with wigs and stuff.” ― Frank Zappa “Beethoven tells you what it’s like to be Beethoven and Mozart tells you what it’s like to be human.
Bach tells you what it’s like to be the universe.” ― Douglas Adams “Wagner’s music is better than it sounds.” ― Mark Twain A rousing start to our classical music section. This ensemble utilizes 4 ukes, 2 guitars, 1 bass, tambourine, snare, and crash cymbal. AMAZING GRACE 2. ALONE AGAIN (NATURALLY) 3. RAINDROPS KEEP FALLING ON MY HEAD 4.

This is a very good practice habit that you should try to develop. Often, learning the more familiar and catchy Chorus section first is a good way to start. By learning these more complex songs one fragment and section at a time you will be able to memorize them more quickly, and practicing and performing them will be much more enjoyable. ANOTHER THOUGHT: Many uke players slow down or stop learning after they've mastered perhaps a dozen chords. Either they hit a 'wall' and get lazy or they are a casual player who is simply content to strum away at the basic chords they are cozy and comfy with. But consider this: If you learned one new chord every week, in a year you would know over 50 chords!
Try to keep the spirit of discovery alive!
