Sept. 2021 News: Bonaparte’s Retreat, more

September 11, 2021


Greetings, Fiddlers!


As we head into Autumn of 2021, I hope everyone is getting enough fiddling time. It’s a bit better year so far, with unexpected setbacks, but basically we’re hopeful that we’ll gradually be able to get out there and play more music with friends, maybe sooner, maybe later.

We now have the complete lesson series [all 5 parts!] of Byron Berline’s Huckleberry Hornpipe safely tucked away in the Greeting Video section, available to all you fiddlers simply by clicking on the VIEW MORE button right below the screen in the middle of you Fiddle School Home Page.

The overworked tech crew at Artistworks also found time—between moving the entire production office across town and adding 2 MAJOR new music schools— to post a new lesson series on one of my favorite tunes: the great and multi-faceted Bonaparte’s Retreat. At this point, only the beginning version is up, but there are beginning, intermediate, and advanced versions, and I’ll soon have some nice backup tracks for those various versions of this tune available in the “Study Materials” section. The PDFs are already there, in the Additional Study Materials bin.

Ukulele Lesson: Introduction to Barre Chords with Craig Chee

September 3, 2021

 

One of the most common and fundamental techniques used to play chords on the ukulele is the barre chord fingering. However, for those who are just beginning their ukulele practice or are learning how to play a stringed instrument for the first time, fingering barre chords can often feel uncomfortable and a bit unnatural at first.
