Viggytopia Workshop: Nasty Chords No More! 🤮

Hi friends! 👋🏻

Next Monday in Viggytopia, we’ll be playing all the chords we avoid - barre chords *gag* four finger chords *eugh* the E chord *blehhh!!!* but don’t be scared! We’re going to learn these chords in contexts that make them feel a bit more comfortable. The key to learning tricky chords is to practice them in the right context. An E chord by itself is really nasty to nail, but within the context of a similar shaped chord, it can feel a bit easier to get to.

If you’re interested in getting nasty with us on Patreon, join us next Monday, Feb 23rd @ 6pm EST live on Zoom! The recording will be posted shortly after for those who can’t make the livestream. Come learn something new!

Along with this new workshop, Viggytopians on Patreon also get:

• New monthly workshops! Members get to vote on the skills workshop topic for the month, help me test run new topics and ideas for my uke fest travels, and learn how to arrange songs for chord melody with our Songs on the Fly series.

• New ukulele tabs every single Friday! There’s always something new to play on Patreon! Every Friday at 12pm EST, you’ll have a brand new, annotated fingerstyle tab with practice audios delivered straight to your inbox.

• Access to the archives! Viggytopians get to dive into my catalog of over 200 annotated fingerstyle tabs and over 35 video workshop replays.

• Directly support my musical journey! I love to create new arrangements, teach new ideas, and get you strumming and picking in more ways than before. Your support allows me to do what I love, and I am endlessly grateful to all who support me on Patreon.
