@gi_gi_, that would be really cool! I’m not sure if I’d survive that challenge though unless the time period for it were five years (minimum). 😅
It’s always so cool to see the “behind the scenes” of how great musicians learn songs and create songs. To me that’s maybe even more interesting than the final performance. It’s like if a magician let you have a glimpse into his magical hat, but inside the hat is a tiny virtuosic man practicing ukulele.
Great lesson! Thank-you….These lessons are very yogic and Matt, I am starting to think of you as our Ukulele Yogi. My new mantra will be, “slow and steady…”. I’ve never had a great relationship with the metronome….I find it confining and sometimes relentless……yet, I know it is a powerful tool that will only improve my playing. It is time for me to actually use it! Thanks again…lots of little epiphanies here.
