DAY 17 - 12 BAR BLUES - 30 Day Uke Course

Let's learn some blues!

ABOUT THE #30DAYUKECOURSE
In this course we will have one new video lesson every day for the month of September! The 30 Day Uke Course has been designed to help you become a well-rounded musician. Many of us have memorized chords and strumming patterns on our ukulele, but we have not made much progress beyond that. Through this course you will read music notation, become familiar with music theory, exercise new fingerpicking patterns, play new chord shapes (beyond the 4th fret), and develop good practice habits.

This course will work best if you follow the instructions in this video and in the printable resource. To download the printable resource, follow this link.

FREE PRINTABLE RESOURCE
This is in my Patreon account. You do not have to pay for the resource, but if you would like to support this channel and if you have the means to, you totally can! (Thank you in advance!)

UKULELE USED
I am using the EUC-MAD by Enya. It's a concert-sized mahogany ukulele that I love :)

Come back to our little ukulele world :)

FACEBOOK GROUP
In this group you can post progress videos, ask questions, and connect with other people around the world who are also participating in the challenge. This challenge is a lot more fun if you do it with the company of the ukulele community :)

INSTAGRAM
This is my instagram account. I like to share play-along videos, collaborations, and share tidbits of my daily life. It's a lot more personal than the YouTube channel, so it's a great place to bond.

Love how versatile you've made/are making this course. I'm learning all kinds of new things that I probably wouldn't have learned by doing my own online research. Whenever there's a new, scary thing we're learning, I think: "Oh no, I don't wanna learn this". But then I start practicing anyway and soon I'm really happy to have added something to my skillset. Great job, Bernadette!

You are THE BEST, I made the 30 day uke challenge and now I am doing the 30 day uke courses. I never thought I could learn to play ukulele so fast and so easily. I thank you to have introduced Tyler Ten Thumbs Pro to us, for me it is pure generosity. A big thank you!

[thenaturalmd]

Love, love, love that Tyler touch! Ms. B, you and your posse of bearded and bald-headed guys are the best! Hands down!

[BillHart_Family_Friends]

Wow, 12 Bar Blues; you are touching the major league now!  Excellent.

Maybe this second set of 30-day challenge can be entitled for intermediate strummers. Still working on your first set bc I love learning at my slow pace to ensure a good foundation. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge with all of us fans. Stay healthy so we can have you with us for s long long time

[jsdixon]

REALLY appreciate the music theory in this course too. (I never really had that years ago in school, and I feel I needed the foundation) I'm working slow at this due to family issues, but keeping at it. Thank you so much!!

[stevevanallen]

[AmyClareTasker]

Oooh, I love this!! I discovered something fun by accident: when switching to the F7, I kept hitting Dm first and then sliding my ring finger down a fret to hit F7. It sounds pretty cool!

[alsautner]
