Ukulele friends,
Today we're learning a Billie Holiday classic - I Cover the Waterfront. This tune, penned by Johnny Green in 1933, while using simple chords, keeps you on your toes with the next change until the very end.
In this lesson I'll walk you through the basic chords to the tune and then we'll do a play-along with the full band.
This is just the tip of the iceberg as to what this beautiful song has to teach us and we'll be studying it all month long on the Magic Ukulele Club in a series of 5 lessons and 2 live streams including
-Understanding the Harmony
-Playing the Melody
-Improvising Using Triads
-Chord Substitutions
-Lester Young's solo
-and more
all of that along with a 12 page PDF and backing track to practice along with.
Cheers
Christopher.
