Hej from Sweden!
Here’s my take on “Song Of Storms”, this month I had help from my wife who played the piano part. Our performance is far from perfect but having a music project to work on together was really fun! Have a lovely summer everyone!

@dianna Thanks so much for the kind words I am really glad you enjoyed it! The background is actually in southern Poland, had to hack my way through the forest like Indiana Jones to get there 😄

@leb397 Thanks a lot! I love the phrase “stellar entries”, definitely adding that one to my vocabulary! 🚀😄

[Andrew]

@misterbones – Lots of feel and attitude in your performance and I loved the accented strums! Great playing Michael 👏

@mickan88 – Y’all aced it! Beautifully played 🙂

[marianne]

Lovely submissions all!

Here’s my take on Free Fallin’, adapted a tiny bit to suit the low G/baritone:

[Andrew]

@marianne – Very well played Marianne! If you didn’t try it out already, in the chorus, for the chords:

Fadd9 (1): 0 9 8 12
Bb6sus2 (1): 0 10 8 8

Try using your middle finger to play the third string notes for both of those chords. That’s how Matt’s doing it and it looks like it makes that section a lot less of a finger frenzy.

@misterbones I loved yours so much I switched to this song yesterday ☺️ Great job.

[misterbones]

@gi_gi_ Thanks! Looking forward to your rendition.

@mickan88 Very nice performance of both of you! I think I won’t take part this month because I find Song of Storms a bit daunting for my level… But definitely I will give it a try with your thumb pickin approach.

[marianne]

Thanks @Andrew! Am doing that the first time into the chorus. The second time gets trickier because of the last last chords of measure 26 being 0 7 8 8 vs 0 0 8 8 like the first time around 😅

[Andrew]

@marianne – I think we’re talking about diff sections. Here’s what I meant:

[lynnzo]

Hi Andrew,
I’ve been traveling without my Uke again. I just started learning In the Summertime and it’s sounds more familiar to me if I use my low G . Can I play it like that or should I use the high G?
