new video: How to Learn a Tab Riff (Patreon)

{Public post}

Aloha, Patrons!

Thank you to everyone who tuned in for our Beatles Jam yesterday!  Ukulenny and I had an absolute blast.  We had 1000 jammers watching live, and if you missed it, you can watch the replay now.

In preparation for the jam, I was practicing the tab riff from "Ticket to Ride."  I decided to document my process in learning and practicing the riff for my on-going series called the Creator Chronicles.  

I teach because I love learning.  I intend to continue learning music for my whole life because it is so fulfilling, and because the possibilities for learning are endless.  Why is learning a musical instrument good for the brain and good for the soul? Because we have to coordinate so many skills at the same time: counting rhythm, recalling chords, finger dexterity, singing lyrics, emotional connection to the song.  But the most important skills I hope to share through my teaching are the practice of slowing down, being patient with yourself, persistence, giving yourself breaks, and enjoying the journey.

Please take a moment to click through to YouTube, give it a thumbs up, and post a comment - it helps spread the word about my videos. 😊 Thank you!!  And be sure to subscribe if you haven't already.
