curt sheller - ukulele
After a brief introduction to the ukulele in 1978 by two distant uncles at a family reunion.
Curt rediscover the ukulele in 2003.
Finding limited material for intermediate and advanced ukulele players Curt has authored many books for ukulele players. Curt has
performed and presented workshops and clinics at various ukulele festival across the USA from New York to LA.
Here is what the Windy City Uke Festival has to say about Curt
Curt Sheller is probably the most published person on the planet for intermediate and advanced ukulele publications. His instruction manuals and training materials are the most extensive in advanced concepts of blues and improvisational jazz on the ukulele. His works include "Advanced Guide to Chord Progressions for Ukulele", "Exploring Jazz Chords on Ukulele", "QuickStart Arpeggio Fingerings for Ukulele" just to name a few.
I really enjoyed your set at The Whiskey--your low key intros, mic persona provided
a cool contrast with your complex uke technique and ingenious arrangements!
- Best wishes, Jared Denhard
