Lesson: Hawaiian Turnarounds and Vamps on Ukulele

Playing a turnaround on the ukulele is an important part of creating the Hawaiian sound. In Hawaiian music, another name for a turnaround is the vamp. The vamp has many roles; Not only is it heard at the beginning and ending of a song, but it also enables musicians to cue the hula dancers when a new verse is about to begin. In this lesson, we will look at how to play a vamp with both strumming and fingerpicking. Check out the full lesson at ukulelemagazine.com. Lesson by ‪@bliumusic‬
