Description

We’re in the midst of a ukulele renaissance and in the hands of the amazing Del Rey it becomes a veritable blues and ragtime music machine! Del takes a guitar player’s approach to the instrument, using her three fingers to play syncopated melody and harmony lines against a steady thumb beat. Tuning her uke to open C (G-C-E-A), she starts off with blues scales and right hand exercises to coordinate your hands then it’s right into five fabulous pieces: “Goin’ Up the Country,” “Run and Tell Your Daddy, Lord,” “Keep it Clean,” “Dance Hall Shuffle” and “Brown’s Blues.” EXTRA: Del performs four songs with guitarist Steve James. Note/tab included as either booklet or PDF file on the disc. 70 min.
