Our dear friend, L'il Rev, returns to Pittsburgh to share some more ukulele knowledge with his new workshop-Crucial Chord Progressions!
About this Event

L’il Rev is back! One of our favorite teacher/performers is returning in the Burgh to teach us “Crucial Chord Progressions”!


Crucial Chord Progressions is a multi-faceted class that teaches: Chord Knowledge improvement (open and moveable), parody songwriting, strum-hand techniques, rock n blues rhythms, how to recognize common chord cycles, playing by ear, chunking on the 2 & 4, and much more! A hefty PDF is provided and I’ll send this onto those signed up. We end the class by making a video together of all of us playing a simple tune together that'll be posted to my you tube channel.


About L'il Rev: Lil' Rev is a world-class entertainer and steward of vintage song and lore. Performing with ukulele, harmonica, mandolin, guitar and banjo, Rev has an unmatched repertoire of both traditional and original song, poetry, storytelling and humor. Audiences will sing-along, clap, laugh, and maybe even shed a tear at a Lil’ Rev performance. Both entertainer and educator, Rev is renowned as one of the preeminent ukulele instructors and performers in the nation with multiple instructional books in print. Lil Rev is indeed, the Woody Guthrie of the Ukulele.
