Sunday Ukulele: Blues Stay Away From Me

Today we'll focus on using our fingerstyle skills to play the classic tune "Blues Stay Away From Me." It was written by the Delmore Brothers in 1949 and has been recorded by many artists over the years.

I've written two versions of it for us, as well as a sheet of extras to look at.

Level one: We'll play the melody and get used to it. Then...we'll explore how to add some slides, hammer-ons and pull-offs to that melody to give it some added flavor.

Level two: We'll add some bass notes to it and turn it into a fingerstyle tune. I also demonstrate how I add in some strumming (usually on the 3rd and 4th beats) in some bars to add another dimension to it. We also add in an intro to the tune. You may become inspired to write your own intro!!

At the end we added a turnaround, and talked about adding some "fills" (likely where the C chord is) by using the blues scales that are on the sheet as a guide.

Have fun!!
