Ukulele Blues for Beginners with Manitoba Hal
Using the chords C, F, and G7, beginners are guided through a basic 12-bar blues progression, including shuffle strumming patterns and the turnaround. Play through the entire workshop while learning theory as it applies to the blues and the ukulele. Players only need to know those three chords and have a basic ability with strumming and changing chords. Bring your own ukulele or borrow one of ours!
