Time to complete our series on reading sheet music, and today we will talk about all the vital information you will need to read sheet music if you are a blues player. We will break down the infamous 12/8 swing time signature that is so famous in blues music and "accidentals" or playing notes from other keys (the minor 3rd and the flat 5th to mention a few!) After this you should feel confident in your ability to read sheet music and you should be having some fun with it! 

*** The tabs are a little more challenging in printed form than the video at the end, I watered it down a little bit to make it easier for people to follow but the printable versions have a couple little hot licks and fills to take it further!***

Will improve

Getting more tricksy! For further practice, lots of fingerpicking sites give you musical scores rather than just tab (some links here: <a href="https://ukenut.com/fingerstyle-ukulele-resources/)." rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://ukenut.com/fingerstyle-ukulele-resources/).</a> A free site that lets you type in / edit music scores is <a href="https://musescore.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://musescore.com/</a> (also has apps). You can search for ukulele tunes already up there; adapt some of the ones in there for uke; enter stuff from scratch; generate / show the tab (or just have the score) & even play along to it.
