The blues is a universal language everyone understands. Fred has selected classic tunes that sound terrific on ukulele; some are sad, some are funny, some tell a story. Besides learning great songs by the likes of Big Bill Broonzy, Blind Blake, Bessie Smith, Memphis Minnie and Henry Thomas, you'll learn licks, scales, turnarounds and techniques that'll enable you to jam with other players and ad-lib, blues-style. There's even a lesson on bottleneck/slide uke. Titles include: Little Red Rooster, Diddie Wah Diddie, Wasted Life Blues, Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out, Just a Dream, Fishing Blues, Hesitation Blues and When the Levee Breaks. Detailed tab/music PDF file on the DVD. DVD is region 0, playable worldwide.

Fantastic blues instructional DVD for Blues playing on the UKUlele
I have been playing George Formby style Uke for a number of years and wanted to extend my playing. This DVD is fantastic. Fred Sokolow has taught me to play some great blues on the Uke. His very relaxing style is so easy to follow. If you want to play blues on the Uke this is the best DVD tutorial. Would not be without it.

He has taught me things I have never learned before and in a way that makes it (fairly) easy for me to accomplish
Fred is my man! He has taught me things I have never learned before and in a way that makes it (fairly) easy for me to accomplish. Using interesting songs - in a variety of keys - he shows us techniques that can be applied in other blues. He gives us his version of the numbers then breaks them down and plays them nice and s-l-o-w-l-y in split screen mode so we can see what he's doing with each hand. An excellent purchase. Thanks, Fred.
