Aug 6: Sliding & Slurring Your Chords Part #2: Sliding and slurring chords adds propulsive drive to your strumming style. This class is a follow up to our April class of the same name. We'll review basic slide/slurring techniques and build upon this with moveable chord forms and some classic vaudeville and jug band-era tunes. We'll also talk about how the slur/slide is used when playing melodically in this class as well. Open to anyone who knows their basic chords. Lead Sheets provided via the Sheboygan Uke Club drive: www.lilrev.com

Lil' Rev was born and bred in Milwaukee, Wisconsin with dual passions for music and education.   After college he taught music to grade schoolers at the Milwaukee Jewish Day School and served as an adjunct music historian and lecturer at The University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee.  After many years of performing in the Midwest, Lil' Rev left his teaching jobs behind to pursue his musical dreams full-time.  Since then, he has traveled hundreds of thousands of miles, visited every state in the Union (except Alaska and Hawaii), wrote almost a dozen instructional books, recorded over a dozen albums and taught thousands of students ukulele and harmonica.
