Looking forward to returning to the amazing Tampa Bay Ukulele Society! Ticket & registration info TBA. Workshop "The Life & Music of Chuck Berry" (see description below) & Concert to follow. Tickets $20 advance, $25 at the door.
Chuck Berry (1926-2017) has been called the father of rock n’ roll - he was a true musical pioneer whose fiery guitar playing and innovative songwriting blended rhythm & blues, soul, and swing into an entirely new and exciting style of American music. In this very fun workshop you’ll play lots of great songs from Chuck Berry’s deep catalogue and apply Stu’s “Uke-a-billy” method to give your ukulele playing that classic Rock n’ roll style & edge. You’ll learn new rhythms, song forms and learn tricks to improve your ability to strum and sing at the same time. In addition, you’ll learn several of Chuck Berry’s awesome lead guitar intro riffs and hot solo licks - and how to use them to take a rock n’ roll solo! It’s easier than you think! As Chuck once said, ”It’s Rock n’ roll, not rocket science”.
“If you tried to give Rock n’ roll another name, you might call it ‘Chuck Berry’ ” - John Lennon.
Open to ALL LEVELS of player, beginner to advanced.
