Remember, everyone who wants to will go up to Mi Rancho for tacos after class next Monday, Whoo Hoo! They have $1.00 tacos, giant taco salads, burritos, and more....
Continue to practice March for next week. Please practice both Uke parts and chords.
Moving on to Tremolo Flatpicking. Refering to pages 48-49, remember that the tremolo action is smooth and within a rhythm (8th note, 16th note, etc.)
On pages 48-49 you will be working with 8th note and 16th note tremolo. As always, slow the exercises down until you can play them, then gradually try to speed up.
Work on Blue Monday, a cute song utilizing an 8th note tremolo on half notes. Practice both Uke I and Uke II. This song is very nice with harmony. Slow version on Resources page.
Also go back to Elenke (page 27) and try playing using a 16th note tremolo on the quarter notes.
If you are very adventurous, try moving Blue Monday up the neck, one fret at a time, as they do on the recording.
