Spice up an 8 Bar Blues on Ukulele

In this ukulele lesson we look at how to take the basic 8 bar blues form of St James Infirmary (based on the Louis Armstrong version) and breathe new life into it through chord inversions, substitutions, and harmonic movement. Whether you are a beginner, intermediate, or advanced ukulele player you can take this concept as far as you like and join us at the end of the video for a full play-along with the band: no matter which set of chords you choose.
