Steve Cropper playing Ukulele, sometimes I think to myself what would Steve sound like if Steve Cropper played Ukulele. Soul Ukulele, R&B Ukulele, Motown Ukulele, these sounds, how can we get that professional rhythm on our Ukulele? That is what this lesson is about, it is about rethinking rhythm on your ukulele and playing it like a professional soul sessions musician, how to play ukulele like Steve Cropper, how to play Ukulele like Motown, that is what we are going for here.   

One of the best ways to level up your playing is to level up your rhythm. This type of sparser rhythms work best when playing with another person, using a looper, playing with a band or a backing track or composing a piece but you can also use them just to spice up a boring old song you've been playing for ever.   

The idea of an A chord, at first we think is just that one shape, but an A chord is really just A - C# - E, these three notes, that means those three notes can be played any way we want, in any order we want, anywhere on the fretboard that we want. Moving them around, changing the time, adding extensions. all of these things give us new flavor and life, making our rhythm more dynamic and interesting.

I love this, and I purchased guitar pro 8 this week so practicing copying it in trying to learn all the symbols.

Linda

Are the chords labeled on your handout reversed after the A? Bm and C#m?

Tyler Austenfeld

That is very possible. The progression is A C#m Bm A the entire time, if Bm is before C#m that is a type. I'll have a look.
