Fred also shows you:
• Moveable blues chords you can use to play in any key,
• Three moveable blues positions (blues boxes) you can use to play single-note solos in any key,
• Moveable, double-note Chuck Berry-style licks for soloing.

You'll also learn several classic blues tunes: See, See Rider, Stagerlee, Backwater Blues, St. Louis Blues and more.

It's a crash course designed to get you playing the blues and making it up as you go along, jamming with other people and inventing your own solos. The blues sounds great on a uke, and here's all the info you need to get started playing it!
