May Finger-style Uke - Vincent AKA Starry Starry Night Part 1 (Don McClean) Mondays 11 AM & 5 PM Pacific Time May 6 & 13
Description: Don McLean wrote this hauntingly beautiful song after reading a biography about Vincent Van Gogh. His lyrics show a deep respect and love for the artist and the melody is sweet and dreamy. This month we will learn the chord structure in its original key of G. We’ll work on memorizing the parts and work a little with the lyrics.
In June we will continue this song, building on our learned chord progression knowledge as we add melody notes to create our own Chord Melody Solo.
Areas of Focus: Right hand repetitive arpeggio practice Lyric memorization Rhythm accompaniment to singing Prepping for Chord Melody version in June
Prerequisites: Basic TAB reading is necessary. Basic understanding of Nashville Number System (jam cards) is recommended but not necessary to enjoy class.
