                                                Upcoming Slide Ukulele Study Day on 7/21:

Howdy slide-uke curious friends!

I have been working very hard to put together a fabulous day of slide ukulele study for 7/21/24. 

The class will focus on both Open G and Open C tunings.

The morning session will go from 10:30am to Noon and focus more on beginning players.

The afternoon session will go from 2-4pm and move into advanced beginner and intermediate slide arrangments.

The material will feature a variety of blues, country, folk, bluegrass and original arrangements.

We'll explore tunings, pros n cons of slide, types of slides, how to hold the slide, muting and intonation, basic melody playing, scales, boogie notes, strumming in open tunings, riffs, best strings, Q & A, demo pieces played by rev and much more, all for $45.00 (pay pal via website or write to rev for other options)

You can register here:

www.lilrev.com/calendar 

You can sign up to take the class on the day of the event or watch it anytime after its been recorded and study it at your own convenience. 

There'll be a hefty PDF accompanying the zoom links and everything will be sent out 24-48 hours prior to the event. 

Your ticket purchase is your registration confirmation. 

Purchasing A Slide Prior To The Class: 

For purchasing a slide, you can easily go to Amazon and find a variety of nice slides that will show up at your door lickedy split. I'd go for glass, pyrex, or ceramic (no metal). 

I highly reccomend the following slide companies if you are looking for the best slides out there:

Rocky Butte Slide Company https://www.rockybutteslides.com/ 

or 

Rocky Mountain Slide Co. https://rockymountainslides.com/ https://rockymountainslides.com/

                                                   The Best Strings To Use With Your Slide: 

Any strings will do, however, slide playing and nylon strings don't mix well, so, if you are able to add a wound G string or a wound C and G string that will at least give your playing a little more grit than all wound strings. Also, a low G will sound better than a high G.
