As this seems to be the month for challenge series, here’s the latest offering of a free fifteen day fingerstyle course from Terry Carter of Uke Like The Pros. It starts on 1 Nov.
Terry’s lessons are always clearly-presented and informative. He’s been running a number of monthly song challenges on the ULTP forum over the summer, ranging from old standards & pop hits to instrumentals, with prizes such as ukuleles for the best entries. This looks set to be the most thorough, taking people from beginner stage & upwards – covering good technique for finger-picking; introducing seven different picking patterns on alternate days, followed up with seven original pieces to play the next day using the pattern just introduced; including sheet music, tab and backing tracks. At the end of the process there will be a live interactive webinar with extra content.
Further details are in his introductory video. You can sign up here to receive daily updates during the challenge period.
Here’s Terry playing one of his original works, Fingerstyle Meditatio For Ukulele In A Minor, which is the type of piece he will be demonstrating on his course:
