Description

Join us at Funky Frets Music store for a workshop and concert presented by Bill Wynne. See below for more details. Workshop will be from 4:00pm-5:00pm Concert will be 6:00pm-7:00pm Bill will present an introduction to chord melody ukulele playing which he calls “Chord Melody for Dummies” – basic approaches and tips for developing your own chord melody arrangements – as well as teach you one of his unique chord melody arrangements for the ever-popular Beatles chestnut “Yesterday.” Minimal experience with chord melody playing is required, and you do not need to read music (heck, Bill doesn’t!) as the entire workshop will be taught both pictorially and in tablature. The course will be taught in GCEA tuning (high G and low G welcome!), but the techniques and arrangement can be applied to any ukulele in any tuning. After the workshop, Bill will perform some of his favorite pop, jazz, contemporary, and Hawaiian tunes – showcasing both his ukulele chops and his vocals.
