Cool, so you've got a couple scales, you feel good noodling around with some backing tracks, it is time to take the next step. Think of your solo as a christmas tree, what is a tree with out the lights? Where is the strung popcorn and the handmade ornaments? It is the same for your solo, and today we will be adding all 5 to a lick to illustrate how simple it is to get them into your playing right away.

The 5 Ornamentations of Tasty Solos - How to solo for beginners - Ukulele Tutorial

New Ukulele Tutorials every single Wednesday and Saturday. Soloing, improvising and jamming are some of the favorite things I like to do on the Ukulele, creating melody in the moment and flowing with it is extremely gratifying and can be very fun, plus it is fun to do with friends. Now, to make your solos more interesting, tastier, and fun, you need to learn to manage the ornamentations of music, of which there are 5, slide, bend, hammer-on, pull-off and slide, so to illustrate how that works what we are going to do is take a basic little one barre lick or fill, and we are going to add all 5 of these embellishments. You not only can work out each one of these independently, you can SHOULD work on each one.

Tyler I’ve been playing for one year and one day. I have learned so much with you. Basics to theory to starting to put it together with some understanding. Thanks my man for working so hard on this project to create players, jammers, and musicians.

You've only been playing for a year? Dude you're so good and beyond where I am after a little over 2. Way to go! But I second your sentiment. Without Tyler I'd still be strumming along to Somewhere Over the Rainbow and wouldn't be challenging myself like these lesson make me.

thanks, Tyler. As you alluded to, this lesson is a repeat of several other lessons...if the viewer has been a faithful follower. However, it is nice to have it all in one place. The trouble I am having is over usage. I do it everywhere and it sounds Sophmoric. It is kind of like when you get your first amp, the gain is set to 10 all the time. Or when you learn harmonica, you bend or over-blow everything. To learn that less is more takes time and at this time I am still ornamenting everything. I wonder how long it will take for me to get out of the newby stage, and use these ornaments more maturely. As it is, it is like i am adding Carolina Reaper hot sauce to everything so that instead of an occasional spiciness, everything is over-saturated with tastiness.

Hahaha, two awesome metaphors. Carolina Reaper and the gain at 10. Try to think of it as a vocal inflection, and that will help it develop more naturally. Listen to your favorites too and listen specifically to how they use these different ornamentations, and even more so, how they use them together. That will sharpen it up. When in doubt, less is more.
