Ukulele Lesson: Swing Like Casey MacGill
Музыка
FULL LESSON: ukulelemag.com/stories/uke-lesson-swing-like-casey-macgill
During the swing era, guitarists played simple but effective accompaniment-mainly two- and three-note chord voicings, played squarely on downbeats, four strums per bar.
The guitar is a considerably larger instrument than the ukulele, so it might seem improbable that a swing-guitar approach would transfer to uke. Quite the contrary, the abbreviated chord voicings and the ukulele’s bright tones work splendidly well, as the swing musician Casey MacGill demonstrates in the video component of this lesson.

Awesome video, I played a gig last year with Casey, he is a fantastic uke, piano, and cornet player. Love this strum!
Casey has the eloquence of every good teacher
Excellent
Thank you. Love it.
❤️ Thanks! Reinforces what we learned at Ashokan!
That is one beautiful uke!
Absolutely wonderful I can't believe he doesn't introduce us to his little friend that is a crazy killer cool ukulele
Großartig! ;-)
I love your instrument. Would love to get a 4 string version.
I guess this is a Resonator Ukulele ? What Brand and Model is it ?
Are there particular chord shapes that suit the swing style or are our regular open chords fine?

What are the cords you use for this swing ??? Can you show them slowly or in writing?
