FULL DESCRIPTION:
The 1959 steel guitar instrumental by Santo & Johnny was a number-one single, has been used in various movie soundtracks, and inspired Stephen King's first screenplay. Originally recorded on a triple-neck Fender Stringmaster with guitar and drums, this classic tune adapts surprisingly well as a solo ukulele instrumental. In this 1.5 hour workshop, Amy Kucharik presents full tablature and a tutorial for playing her arrangement of the song, along with general fingerstyle tips to help you with all your uke fingerpicking.
