    I know I need to work on timing, This is my shot a winning Kanile’a K-1 Concert Ukulele. Hoping that Kanile will improve my playing and my practice habits.

    Ukulele with wide nut width and a strap is much comfortable to play with! Thank you Andrew for the gift and tips!

    The harmonic thing is tricky…seems like depending on the mood of the Uke…

    Hello! Here is my first submission for a monthly challenge (Moon)

    I loved this arrangement so much that I signed up for the site as soon as I heard it. Truly a gorgeous piece and I always love a good excuse to break out my low G uke, which doesn’t usually get much attention! I’ve been playing this song obsessively for the past three weeks and finally decided that I’m not likely to get much better at it before the end of the month, so here it is.

    I slammed the heck out of the harmonic, but it’s my least flawed attempt!

    Good going Coffeemug. I love, love practicing this. I’ve played it so much I think I’ll subtitle it
    OH-3-1-OH ’cause that’s what I sing to remember the sequence. ha.

    Getting that harmonic is so difficult….. many attempts and this is the best i could do. Tim

    Thanks, Rickey! I too have those numbers ingrained in my head! Funny the things we use to remember how to play the music.

    I love hearing all the performances!

    Here’s my shot at La Gitanita – I seem to play more fluidly when the recording isn’t going (LOL). It cut off the last chord. I found the thumb pick a little odd and occasionally missed and used my index finger which sounded better – not sure why.

    Good going, Jerry. I’m finding the hardest part is getting the rhythm correct on Melody C.

    Here’s my attempt at La Gitanita. And I agree with hotmilktea about the harmonic and the mood of my uke 😉

    Cheers,

    I’m enjoying watching everyone’s videos. I’m glad to see that some post multiple versions as they get better throughout the month. Guess I need to keep practicing!
