Hi Stu, this is an excellent lesson in rhythm. It is easy to forget that rhythm is in the body. Thank you so much for your generosity in sharing, you are a great teacher.
It's my pleasure & glad you enjoyed this lesson! Hope you'll subscribe to the channel for more videos like this one 🎶🤙😊💙 P.S. I would LOOOOVE to visit Rome one day.
Thanks...I appreciate that Derk. Sign my mailing list to keep in the loop of what I'm offering for ukulele (FREE MP3 track with sign up): www.stufuchs.com/home
This is the first video of yours I saw some time ago (my 1st Ukulele lesson in fact ). ..I play this tune every time I warm up ever since. Thanks Stu...love your style..Appreciate your help
A well done lesson, Stuart. Clear and tight teaching despite the groove. Thank you. Looking forward to sitting down to learn it. I always appreciate your awareness of our bodies' involvement in what we play.
Clumsily put by me? It'd be easy with an ostensibly laid back subject to get loose with the teaching, but I really appreciated that the teaching points clearly flowed through the video with no lag or loss of focus. You haven't had to edit it to keep the points you've made clear. It's very skilful stuff. Kudos to you for that.
+Great Big Ukes All good - Thanks for the clarification! I'm not so good at high tech videos with backing tracks, fancy graphics...I'm learning about those things, but it takes a whole village (or team) to make those high tech videos :) All the best, Stu
Great tutorial. Thanks a lot Stu!! I admire your Buddhist influences. It reminded me a bit lessons of the Mindfullness-Based Cognitive-Therapy (MBCT) and the Meditation Stress-Reduction Therapy in my classes of psychology at the university. So with the ukulele (music therapy), that could be a good combination of a new type of an effective therapy to reduce anxiety disorders. Hahaha!!Keep it up my friend!!
Wonderful! 🎶🙏 Always GREAT to hear from a fellow practitioner. Sounds like you're onto some thing there....let me know more -- perhaps I can Zoom into one of your classes. www.stufuchs.com/contact
loved hearing this and short deja vu as this was in recommended videos in my email this morning as i listen to a lot on youtube and i had just seen you yesterday at the library. small world and keep up the fantastic work
gary prevost Hi Gary, how cool that this was sent to you just after we met! Good to meet you - hope our paths cross again soon in Keene. Happy playing...
I've just stumbled upon this video, what a great (and not so difficult) riff to learn. You say theres hundreds of songs using a similar riff, how exactly can we find what other songs use it as well? Thanks Stu
Hi Stu, I really like what you do. Long story short, I purchased the tab for this blues rif, but found that the most interesting part is missing! Specifically, the very, very cool bit at about 4:00-4:05. I really expected it would be part of the TAB that I bought. Is there any way it could be included???
Glad you liked it & got something out of it! Not sure which lick you mean, but it's probably a lick that uses the C minor pentatonic scale. Once you know those notes just add your own rhythm to make up your own (or copy my rhythm). The notes are (starting on C string - go to next string after ||): 0 3 5 || 3 6 || 3 6 || Have fun w it :)
Glad you totally went for it and I hope the riff fun for you to play!! Make sure you check out some of my NEW & recent videos… I always emphasize a light touch and resting often in the practice process...take your hand off the instrument in between drills… This lets you make sure your practice it correctly and doesn’t strain you. Take some time to become a habit but pretty soon practicing in an efficient manner will bring results… What this channel ukulele zen is all about. Thanks for watching!
Hi Stuart, I love the sound of this blues riff, but I cannot for the life of me play and sing at the same time. any tips you can share on this? Thanks so much for all you do.
Each line of the tab corresponds to a different strain… The bottom line is the string closest to the ceiling… The top line is the street closest to the floor… The numbers on each line tell you which fret to play.
Old bass player found the ukulele this year. Found this lesson last week!!! Very clear and easy presentation. It will keep me busy for a while. (Big difficulty--Holding the Ukulele stable?) Any hints?
+Bradfordbassman Glad you dig it! More videos coming all the time. www.stufuchs.com Try holding the ukulele with the forearm of your strumming arm (most likely right?) You can also get a strap installed to your uke - will make your left hand freed up to play when it's not working to hold it up. Go to a music store & get a strap installed on your uke...well worth it - just pick the right strap size first!! Peace, Stu
The keys of C major and A minor are related (a minor is the relative minor of C major, and C major is the relative major of a minor)... It all depends on whether the backing cords are defining the key as one or the other… But you are right they do have a close relationship! Thanks for watching - more goodies at UZ channel here: goo.gl/rMXsnw
Stu, Great Stuff. It's all about smooooth, yes? Question: do you let the nail on your right thumb stay a bit long to help with plucking or is that just a personal preference? I thought my fingertips on my left hand were tough, but all the sliding causes my hand to be more vertical and rubs on heretofore unknown tender parts. BTW, couldn't find a free tablature of this and was glad to pay you $2, but you might want to change how you present it. I always look for good new stuff from you. Thanks for sharing your talents. Dave
Hi David. I DO keep my thumbnail long for playing melodies & fingerstyle on guitar, uke & charango. Not TOO long, but long enough to reach the strings with ease. This video was made before I started to charge for the download tab...I tried to make that change clear with the little video "annotations" that fly into the screen. In the future whether tabs are free of for a small fee - I will be clear about it from the start. Happy playing & thanks for writing!
Sure - click here, scroll down the right side of page called "the Bargain Bin"...you'll see "EZ Blues" a few tabs down. Thanks & best of luck with everything!
Hi Stuart, I really enjoyed this riff, thanks. Like David M below, I tried to find the tab for it, but couldn't even find it to buy. Can you send a link to it please. Thanks in anticipation. Knotty
Hi Stu, Thank s a lot for your tuto, you're a good teacher, really !! Question, I'm looking on your web site to find the tab of this piece of blues, but I didn't find nothing about it ?? Hope it's free...it's just a tab !
+B. DTA Hi there, glad you found the teaching helpful :) The tab is available here in my website's store: www.stufuchs.com/store You'll see it in the "bargain bin" right at the top. It costs just $3 - in the video I say "free", but I now charge a small price for it. We all gotta make a living...appreciate your understanding. All the best & enjoy, Stu
Now 7 months later, I've got it down! So how about that riff you put in just at the end of your singing? I've watched it over and over and still can't reproduce your finishing lick. Teach us that, PLEASE!!
+David Myers Congrats! It's a sweet lick - try mixing some strumming into it as well. That solo stuff was just off the cuff, but I'll be making a rockabilly & blues licks book soon to give you lots of solo vocab. Subscribe for more videos & the announcement. KEEP JAMMING! :-D
Hi Stuart Thanks for the info on "Cars Hiss............." Being a raw novice Is there any suggestions for the instrumental in the same arrangement. Or do you have a publication available for sale that would help?. Am finding, with with plenty of metronome practice the riff is coming together. I never thought I'd be up for it!!! Great videos. Cheers and thanks.
Hey Don, I'm working on a blues method book, but right now, my chord solo book (available on my website) is the only full book I have - everything else is the smaller PDFs of tablatures...good luck & keep strumming, Stuart
Hey Sarah, that riff was just an off the cuff thing I did. I’ll make new vids of blues solo ideas -if you subscribe to the channel and ring the notification bell, you’ll be kept in the loop of when I post new videos. Wishing you well, Stu 🙏🏻🎶
+Роман Попов I KNOW! Pretty wild! It must be something about the way the lighting is making the camera lens react to the motion of the string. It doesn't look like that off camera :)
+TW F Hey there - I must admit that I've never heard of Gradus Ad Parnassum did you mean by Debussy or Clementi? Please enlighten me! P.S. I've been a guitarist since my teens, ukulele since 2002...
+Ukulele Zen (Stuart Fuchs) OH! I will have to check this out! You did you mean this "a seminal textbook on counterpoint written by Johann Fux in 1725, but still used today for instruction in musical theory and composition; Leopold Mozart is said to have taught his son Wolfgang from its pages. Beethoven held it in great esteem, and Haydn meticulously worked out each of its exercises." ?
Ukulele Zen Sorry, music department joke...Thought you got that one before... Gradus Ad Parnassum is a music education book written in the 1700s to teach 16th Century counterpoint to students the principals dealing with multiple voices. It was written by Fux (likely same sounding last name as you...), so I thought others might have cracked that joke on you before. Just trying to be a music geek. :-) Composition is my main study but lately been learning ukulele...fun!
+TW F Music Geeks Unite! Thanks for turning me onto another source for studying counterpoint - now to make some time & read it! :) The similarities between the baroque guitar & the uke are pretty interesting too - the high g re-entrant tuning on the uke bears a lot of similarities to some plucked string music of the baroque era.
There's some sort of optical illusion that happens with my camera...must be something with the light & the speed of my camera. Looks neat-o doesn't it? :)
That song is a 12 bar blues - I'm pretty certain of it. This link is for the Key of E (guitar). Try using A7, D7 & E7 instead- will sit better on the uke. This riff works in the ket of C... tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/t/the_doors/cars_hiss_by_my_window_ver2_tab.htm
You're a guru of ukuleles. Thank you so much for the lessons.
Thanks for watching!

A well done lesson, Stuart. Clear and tight teaching despite the groove. Thank you. Looking forward to sitting down to learn it. I always appreciate your awareness of our bodies' involvement in what we play.
+Great Big Ukes Thanks! Yes, for me, it's all about a relaxed body awareness.... tell me, what do you mean by "despite the groove"?
Clumsily put by me? It'd be easy with an ostensibly laid back subject to get loose with the teaching, but I really appreciated that the teaching points clearly flowed through the video with no lag or loss of focus.

Got to have both yukes low G and the high G but mostly the low G
Great! Thanks

Hi Stuart, I love the sound of this blues riff, but I cannot for the life of me play and sing at the same time. any tips you can share on this? Thanks so much for all you do.
its definitely a challenge try hearing the words of the songs with the rythym
Hi, can u teach me. How to read the tab. Thanks.
Each line of the tab corresponds to a different strain… The bottom line is the string closest to the ceiling… The top line is the street closest to the floor… The numbers on each line tell you which fret to play.
I want to play the key of c. Thanks for the reply.

Am I the only once who noticed how loosely his C string was vibrating?
Sampling error
Bethany Smith .i see it. Didn't till you said something.. cool
Bethany Smith I think it's a camera illusion
Because Kala ukes are poop, they have buzzing and sound dead and he’s got those shitty strings on it
would u provide a direct link for the tab for this lesson please?
Sure - click here, scroll down the right side of page called "the Bargain Bin"...you'll see "EZ Blues" a few tabs down. Thanks & best of luck with everything!

You are so cool
Hi Stuart, Is that a baritone ukulele you are playing but tuned to the basic c tuning of the standard ukulele?
Hey Franko, No, that's a tenor...the riff will work for Baritones, but it will be in a different key (Key of G) Be well, Stuart
