Chord Progressions Workshop: Learn to recognize the most popular chord progressions by ear so you can figure out songs in SECONDS!
Saturday, September 21, 2013, 10:30a - 12:00p
Oz Music 1920 Packard St, Ann Arbor, MI
Only $35
Room for only about 10 more uke-sters
Come out and join me at Oz's this Saturday for a workshop that will be packed with super useful and valuable information that will open your eyes and ears IMMEDIATELY and save you many hours of frustration trying to figure out and memorize songs! Don't underestimate your skill level and don't overestimate the complexity of this subject; I've got a foolproof method that will get you through it. There is not a single musician out there - I don't care what level you are at - that would not benefit from knowing these "secrets" that you will use for the rest of your life.
Nobody else is teaching this stuff so don't miss out!
Jake Shimabukuro recently visited Ann Arbor for a show and I was able to make it out there to enjoy as an audience member. Even though I've heard it before, I guess I hadn't really been paying attention but have you ever noticed how his tune "Blue Roses Falling" sounds very similar to Eric Clapton's "Wonderful Tonight"?
Well, I did, and here's something to think about: there are all these wonderful, beautiful chord combinations out there, floating around in the air that inspire us. They make us think of Bruddah Iz or Canon in D or the Everly Brothers or Wonderful Tonight. It's gotta be a specific order of a specific type of chord in order for our ears to pick this up; all you have to do is learn these combinations/progressions in the context of your favorite songs and I guarantee you will enjoy music more fully and with more understanding.
There are lots of practical reasons to memorize music, too, like:
- Music stands take up valuable space onstage
- It sucks when it's windy and your music blows all over the place
- It sucks when you forget your music at home
- It allows you to better communicate with your fellow musicians, performers; after all, music IS a language
- It allows you to interact more with audience members and each other
- You'll be able to more easily adapt to spontaneous last second onstage music changes
And by learning the methodology behind putting together the right chords in the right order, you, too, can start writing your own songs!
This workshop will be packed with info you can use RIGHT AWAY and we'll also cover standard beginnings and endings, Hawaiian vamps, and even transposing. Bottom line is I spent 1,000's of $ worth of college tuition to learn all this stuff and you get it for only $35! :)
