New Ukulele Strums Book and Site Released by Curt Sheller Publications

July 15, 2008

Curt Sheller Publications today announced the release of a new book for ukulele players titled "A Guide to Ukulele Strums" by Curt Sheller. One of the first skills a ukulele player learns is the art and craft of strumming, playing rhythm. This refers to an accompaniment technique suitable for the singer, singer-songwriter or someone who plays a support role for another instrument.

Strumming requires a specific set of skills. They are: 1) Memorization of chords 2) The ability to switch chords smoothly and 3) The ability to choose and execute a suitable rhythmic strum. It is this 3rd skill that is the focus in "A Guide to Ukulele Strums".

If your goal is to expand your strum vocabulary, Then "A Guide to Ukulele Strums" is your answer.
