CHORD MELODY CLUB

CHORD MELODY CLUB


Chord melody is a solo ukulele technique which allows you to play chords and melody at the same time. It’s magic!

The Chord Melody Club is a series of online ZOOM workshops where I share my favourite chord melody arrangements.


The workshops are recorded so you can watch them afterwards.


If you missed one of the first four workshops and would still like to attend, you can do so after the fact. Please see below!

RISK FREE: These workshops come with a money back guarantee. If, for any reason, you feel you have not gotten your money’s worth, please contact me and I will arrange for a full refund, no questions asked.


COMING UP!


October 20, 2024, 11AM PDT episode 6: IT’S ONLY A PAPER MOON

We will learn two solo uke arrangements of the beautiful Harold Arlen classic “It’s Only a Paper Moon,” one simple, one more complex. We will also explore creating variation by altering the melody, adding solo fills, rhythmic expression and flourishes. We will also reconnoiter a “chord per note” approach in the style of Lyle Ritz. As usual, there will be jam tracks, chord shapes, theory break throughs, prizes and a flea circus. Okay there won’t be a flea circus. But, the rest is true…JOIN THE CLUB!
