Great idea! Thanks Andrew!

[rickeymike]

Dang, Surfn. That was so good….You made me actually like that song. ha

[rickeymike]

As always, Brett…..too cool!

[Andrew]

@surfnrz – My pleasure!

@brettboy – That was so cool on baritone! So I noticed bar 5 and 6 had a rhythm issue. I think this is what you meant to do:

1 & 2 & 3(e&)a 4(e&)a

1(e&)a 2 & 3 (&) 4 &

Thank you so much for the feedback, Andrew!
The intro is trickier than it seems. I listened to it like a hundred times to get used to that feel. Additionally, it gets sloppy after some takes… I will write the rhythm over the tab and study your video again! Most of the time, I ‘ignore’ the counting, instead I try to imitate what I hear and see. But this didn’t work with the intro, so I will pay extra attention here.

Nice that you send it to Bernadette! 😀

Thanks Andrew. I’ll look at that video when I can.

I think what you were seeing was the culmination of hours of frustration trying to record in the evening, so all the rhythm and tempo just went out the window. I’ll see if I can get a more relaxed recording done when I get back.

Also, as always, I forgot to say I AM A PREMIUM MEMBER.

I AM A PREMIUM MEMBER.
I used a capo to match my squeaky voice.
Don’t pay attention to the very two last vocal notes :/
I’m not a singer but this was fun to do.
I did speed up during playing. Not used to singing and playing.
So many lyrics!
I put the uke over an amp so it is slightly amplified.

Jinajupiter very nice! I really liked your version!

[abaluyot]

Andrew – WOW! Thank you so much for the feedback. I really appreciate the individual help. Counting out the rhythm for the ending was super helpful – 16th notes are tricky for me. The two spots that you focused on were exactly the spots where I felt I could do better. So, THANK YOU!!!! I will work on those areas and hopefully will have another song in my bag.

[jinajupiter]

ThanX surfnrz, and I totally liked yours!

Here is my June entry:

There is a little distortion during the break down.

[abaluyot]

Nicely done. Great vocals.

[abaluyot]

Those VOCALS, though!!! You slayed then. I loved the tempo and phrasing of the song. I enjoyed it very much.

[abaluyot]

Jinajupiter – so good!!!! Really enjoyed it.
