General observations: Over 2hrs of instruction from the late Bob Brozman. The video has a stream of consciousness, conversational tone. The presentation jumps quickly from concept to concept. Be prepared to pause and run back. If I was just starting out, and new little about music, this video would probably overwhelm me. As an intermediate player, I found much that was interesting for me to work on.My notes:Tuning the Ukulele (GCEA) and issues• Guitar tuning issues are magnified because of the smaller scale of the uke.• Use an electronic tuner, but double check the instrument against itself.• Practical information on adjusting the nut.• Fine tune “1 to 1 ratio” peg head tuners with a “Pinto Bean Fine Tuner.”Right Hand Rhythm• Brain runs many different ‘software programs’ at the same time, so divide and conquer.• Whole arm stroke . . . down with thumb and up with first finger.• Swung rhythm vs Straight rhythm.• Cutting off notes (muting): professional controls where the notes end. Mute with the fleshy side of the palm.• Strums with thumb and index, index alone and middle finger alone.• Triplet: down middle, up index, up middle.• Practice slow and deliberately at first, but as you speed up be lighter with less effort.• Use the fingerboard as a landing pad for strumming.• Trying triplets on various beats of the measure.• All about cutting, pasting and reassembling these little ideas.• Four finger roll and four finger roll followed by the thumb (calls it a scroll).• Arranging the landscape of your songs: aggressive, soft, etc.• Triplet 2 (whole arm triplet): DOWN up down UP down up DOWN up down UP down up.• 4 2 3 1 (string numbers) fingerpicking with the thumb and index.• Fingerpicking partial chords with triplet accents.• Left hand finger placement for partial chords (6ths).• Blues turnaround.• Importance of getting variety, cutting and pasting.• Pinching strings 4 & 2 and 3 & 1.• Strumming across different parts of the strings changes tone and accent.• Use the first part of your practice to focus on right hand rhythm and challenge yourself to come up with interesting variations.The Key of C• String science, the Greeks, harmonics and home base.• Scales all made up of combinations of whole steps and half steps.• The C scale.• C and G7 chords.• Think ahead on chord changes.• Incorporating melodies into chord positions.• Cadential G7 (0535).• Alternate F (2013).• Fingerpicking 4 2 1 3 2 1 3 2• Fingerpicking 4 2 1 3 2 1• Many songs use just C, G7 and F.• Chapter 15: Putting together a blues progression. C, C7, F (and F7), and G7 plus closing turnaround.• Embellished turnarounds and alternate chord voicings.• Playing C, G7 and F with the 2-4th fingers to prepare for barre chords.• Getting more leverage for barre chords.• Relationships of chords (1, 4, 5) vs. Names of chords (C, F, G7).• Partial chords can suggest the chord you intend.• Some chord theory on 9ths, etc.• Basic ‘Slants’ (partial chords) on middle strings: 00 21 43 55 77 98, etc.The Key of G• 1, 4 & 5 = G, C & D7.• Alternate C voicing.• Short and long slants in the key of G on strings 1 & 2.• Key of F = F, Bb & C7.• Cycle of Fifths (Circle of Fifths) and dominant chords as questions: D7, G7, C7, F.• Practicing more difficult chord shapes.• Chord progression Bb, Bbm, F, D7, G7, C7, F. Ending Bb, Bbm, F.Adding Minors• Taking that chord progression back to C: F, Fm, C, A7, D7, G7, C.• Major keys and their relative minors.• A minor: Am, Dm, E7.• Adding slaps to your strum patterns.• 4 inversions for most chords.• D minor: Dm, Gm, A7 (A dim).• Chapter 31: 16 bar Calypso in Am: Am, Am, E7, Am, repeat, A7, Dm, G7, C, A7, Dm, E7, Am.• Relative major Calypso progression.• Sliding fully closed chords from underneath by one fret for swingtime numbers.• 32 Bar Form: AABA. Examples with two kinds of bridges.I Love a Ukulele• Song tutorial.
