White Sandy Beach Ukulele

Image
Here is a beautiful song by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole called White Sandy Beach. This is a shortened version arranged for two ukulele's - melody and rhythm. If you want to play the melody and rhythm at the same time, look no further than the intro.  The melody to the verses is woven through the chords in the intro. Aloha!

Georgia On My Mind - The Guitarist Ensemble

Recently I asked students of our guitar ensemble to record and submit their part to the classic song, "Georgia On My Mind."  I have found that making a recording of yourself is a great way to improve your playing, mainly because you want to get it right!  If you miss a note, then you're starting over.  A two minute recording often turns into a one hour practice session. I thought our ensemble members did a great job!  Check it out.
