Hahaha!! @leb397, thank you, I’m so glad you found that funny. 😂 I often have thoughts / internal tangents like that about different things. It’s so satisfying when someone else finds them funny. 😂

The final final stage: “I time travelled back to caveman times and taught the first caveman how to sing – thus creating music itself – that means, I learned the RC101 song fastest” (none of that is correct). 😂😂

I also try to guess what the next challenge will be, but sometimes you can somewhat guess based on the songs being released the month before. Also, the newsletter. Also, because I’m super annoying, I have also asked Andrew directly. But even after all that, I still have often been wrong in my guess. 😂

Thank you, that definitely is not true with every song that I can learn it in a few days, but I think one of my skills with music is recognizing patterns (such as chord shapes and stylistic patterns with different players), even if I don’t know what the chord/note name is, and that helps me learn some songs more quickly. It’s also at least 78% moxy that propels me to learn quickly. 😂

Oh yeah, I forgot about Andrew’s slap/chuck! That sounds like a power move in a video game. 😂 Maybe I’ll try that if I can’t get the chuck. I am the same way with strumming, being “scared” of it, and I just have this huge mental block with it. I’ve talked with Matt about that in private lessons but he’s simplified strumming so much for me that it boils down to, “am I going to physically start strumming at any point, or just sit and worry about it?” 😂 I continue to choose the latter… until now (very dramatic).

Thank you, I am feeling better today. 🧡 I am trying to keep myself distracted, seemingly by diving back into the ukulele world once again even more. I still haven’t put any of kitty’s things away. I will keep all of them for a future time if I can get another cat, once I am emotionally and financially able to do so. But it will take time to put away her things, for me. Like her food dish is still out with food in it. So, not completely out of the woods yet with letting go of that, but feeling mentally better today. I do miss her sweet cuddles and pets a lot, though. 🧡

Also, I probably shouldn’t write replies on my laptop because I’m way faster at translating my thoughts into text this way compared to a phone – which is dangerous with my tangential brain. Sorry. 😂
