I just had to do this song but forgive my singing. No way could I sing it in A so I decided to use a baritone and do it in E. Made a few mistakes but I just played through them. That is difficult for me.
Now back to work on Last Christmas.December 10, 2021 at 6:03 pm #49731Andrew
Keymaster@ccwuke – A cheerful take! Well done, Chris! 🙂
@rebeca – Bravo, very impressive playing! Only thing I’d say is don’t hit that open G in bars 5 and 6. It clashes a little bit with those chords. But amazing job on getting all the rhythms down on this tune. It’s a toughy and you played brilliantly!
@mark1256 – I thought you sang it well! You have a great voice – very comforting and easy to listen to 🙂 Great playing as well. I dig the deep sound on the baritone!December 11, 2021 at 2:35 am #49734ukandrea
ParticipantGreat playing and singing so far!
I still have to start learning for my December entry as I was busy in the past weeks with learning “All I Want for Christmas is You”, which you can find in the showcase for playing forum https://rockclass101.com/forums/topic/all-i-want-for-christmas-is-you/. Any feedback for improvement would be highly welcome.I have reached out to the Ukulele Kids Club to donate one Uke = 40 EUR = 50 USD to my French neighbor country UKC France.
Best,

Yey, Christmas songs!! “Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer” has always been – and still is – one of my favourite Christmas songs, so I just had to pick that one for this month’s challenge, it sounds so good on the ukulele. While I was practicing it, I was also playing around with just the chords which lead to me doing a second recording of it where I play the song alongside the strumming I had used; I will add that version as well 🙂
Second version:
Merry Christmas everyone!

Keymaster@shmu88 – Bravo! Beautiful playing, I’m impressed! Friendly tip, don’t forget to tune up before you record. Your C string was a little flat.
@maryjanew – Thank you so much for your generous donation, MJ 🙂December 11, 2021 at 9:52 pm #49757shmu88
Participant@andrew omgggg what a fail, such a rookie mistake, i feel stupid haha. Now listening to it again I can only hear the bad tuning. Anyways, thanks for the kind words!

I decided to play rudolph the red-nosed rendeer. After practicing I always had a good mood and i was singing the song while walking or cooking.
Have a good and happy christmas time. -
