Jake Shimabukuro Teaches Ukulele Master Class For "On the Music Path" iPad App

 
Ukulele maestro Jake Shimabukuro is the latest musician to teach a master class for the best-selling iPad app, "On the Music Path." In his 70 minute lesson, Shimabukuro teaches several songs, including stunning solo arrangements of "Amazing Grace" and "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" and a duet version of his original composition, "Pianoforte." Shimabukuro starts by introducing students to the very basics of playing the ukulele (e.g., how to hold and tune a ukulele, how to strum simple chords) and then gradually works up to more and more advanced techniques, making this a lesson that will appeal to everyone from novice to advanced musicians. This is Shimabukuro's first full-length instructional video since 2004.

The "On the Music Path" iPad app offers lessons on a variety of instruments taught by world-renowned musicians including Jackson Browne, Richard Thompson, Eric Johnson, Lee Ritenour, Michael Chapdelaine, Leland Sklar, and Ravi Shankar. Each lesson includes 45-90 minutes of on-screen time with a master musician shot in high-definition video and accompanied by complete notation, tablature and chord charts synchronized to the teacher's playing. On the Music Path is available exclusively through Apple's App Store. Students can download the app and the first few chapters of any lesson for free (including the first 5 chapters of Shimabukuro's lesson).
