Learn all your favorite '60s pop tunes! From The Beatles to Otis Redding, we'll be working with Jim Beloff's '60s Uke-In book (available to purchase at HMT), which has extensive chord charts. We'll explore musicality with an array of new strumming & picking techniques. We will also learn some basic jamming skills, and scales to get you playing instrumentals. It's always a good time at this class—we keep it light, have fun, and learn new things. The Basics 2 level is appropriate if you already know some basic chords and strums.
