Workshop with Jeff Weinberger. In this adventure, we explore chord theory in its simplest form to aid us in song learning, playing by ear and songwriting. Certain chord progressions crop up over and over in popular and classical music. Understand these and thousands of songs become easy and playable without song sheets, Youtube tutorials or tablature. Free your mind and your uke will follow!

Youve learned all of those usual suspect chords. You want to spice up the tune a little. Well go over a few things that you can do to make your performance pop more. Inspired by Roy Smecks saying, Vary your strokes!.
