Since 2014, Richard has started and lead a couple of local ukulele circle groups, with a participation of forty members weekly.
From that experience, he is creating Ukulele Tutorials that will assist those learning how to play and sing. These tutorials allow ukulele players to learn at their own pace and on their own time.
An example of using more muted strums than unmuted strums. This brings up new way of playing.
One String Harmony Tutorial
When we strum any chord, there are 4 notes we can sing. Learning to sing harmony, is learning how to sing these chord notes that are the basis for the song. This technique is useful when a melody is too high or too low for your voice. Pick one string on your ukulele, that you can sing to comfortably. The notes generated on that one string, are the notes that you sing. View here.
Ukulele Movable Chords
The first chords we learned showed fingering patterns that can be used as Movable Chords that can be played up the neck, where most of us have a lot of unused real estate.
This tutorial is for those who have been playing ukulele for a while and feel it is time to make some incremental improvements, using the real estate up the neck of the ukulele.
This tutorial will help you understand the basics of the chord scale. You can use it to write your own chord progressions for writing your own songs or instrumentals.
This strum is a muting of the strings that takes away the longer sustained sound that is normally made. This strum can be used in the verses of a song, to add some variety to your ukulele playing. View The Palm Mute Strum
