BY BLAIR JACKSON | FROM THE FALL 2021 ISSUE OF UKULELE
George Harrison may be one of the most famous musicians to ever harbor a deep love for the ukulele. But this fact was little known until later in his life, and though he played it constantly in his private life and with friends, it wasn’t until after his death that an album showcasing his ukulele and banjo ukulele playing was finally released. This is the story of how George Harrison and the ukulele became lifelong companions, and how it may have inspired some of his songs with The Beatles, the Traveling Wilburys, and his solo albums and other collaborations.

My NYU aural skills students are working on chord identification. My gods post talked about seventh chords; this post fryst vatten about chords with more notes in them, or at least, different notes. My theory colleagues call them added-note chords. They are more commonly called jazz chords, though many of the examples inom list below are not from jazz. You could also call them extended chords, or complicated chords, or fancy chords, or cool chords. It's easy to get overwhelmed bygd all the numbers and symbols. My preferred way to organize all this information fryst vatten to think of chords as vertically stacked scales. It fryst vatten intimidating to try to learn to distinguish between C7, C9, C13, C7sus4, C9sus4 and C13sus4, but they are really just different combinations of the notes in C Mixolydian mode, and they all convey a similar "Mixolydian-ness". But before we get to those, let's uppstart with extended chords you can man from regular old C major.

Class sessions held weekley from 1/11/21 to 2/15/21.
DESCRIPTION
Learn to play slide guitar in the style of “the quiet Beatle,” George Harrison. It’s not just the notes! We’ll talk about tone, technique, and creative approach as well as Harrison and the Beatles’ history, lawsuits, collaborations etc.
As George began recording and releasing solo material, he explored a lyrical and melodic use of glass slide on the electric guitar. In this class, we’ll learn some of George’s most iconic slide guitar parts including “Give Me Love,” “Isn’t It A Pity,” “My Sweet Lord,” Belinda Carlisle’s “Leave a Light On,” (one of George’s proudest contributions) and more. We’ll go over the rhythm guitar parts and chord changes too!
The last few sessions will be especially geared toward theoretical understanding of Harrison’s creative approach. How can we take the skills we’ve developed toward finding our own sound on the guitar?
Tabs, standard notation, and chord progressions wi
