deadbuggy – Great job, Sara! So I think you have a good base established, but with this song you really want to work on getting every note correct. I spent a lot of time with this arrangement on note selection, specifically the B melodies.
There is movement in the bass (which I talked about in the lesson), and this movement is intertwined between the harmony; which helps to make this a very cool sounding tune. Now a lot of times, arrangements have a “filler” harmony, and therefore you are free to switch up picking patterns, etc. But IMO, it does not work for this song.
nthibode – Bravo, brilliant!
robinboyd – Great job! Here is my feedback for you 🙂
Thanks @Andrew. I love it when you suggest things that I hadn’t even thought of. I’ll make sure I think along those lines next time I play it. It shouldn’t take a lot of effort to incorporate that.
Thanks to you, @Andrew!
And thanks Becky; glad you liked my prop 😁
Many thanks, Andrew! I’ll revisit the bass notes on the B sections…sometimes what I hear isn’t what is written and what I play isn’t either of those 🙂
ohhh, what a challenge! I’d really like a shot at the custom Kanile’a! I think I will give Danse macabre a shot because I tried it a few months ago and never finished. I struggle with theme 2 up the neck though, especially the hammer-ons and pull-offs. I just can’t get them to ring out, those notes are barely even audible. any suggestions on how to practice them?
good luck to everyone! (:edit: I just fiddled around and now I found a method to make it work where I bar across two frets with the index finger so I have my ring finger left free for the hammer-ons! what a relief. though it feels like I’m kinda fudging on the fingering 😀 I think it will work!
@anirbaf – Can you post a video playing just that part? I’ll be better able to help if I can see/hear what you are doing.
Nat – great job on Helen’s Theme – and the Halloween theme. Moose = Outdoor Ukulele company, right? The uke sounds great!what size?
Thanks @lakeside339! Yes, Outdoor Ukulele brand, tenor size with a low-G string. Feels and plays great, and has a nice bright sound!
Simply amazing Nathalie! Everything was perfection from your playing to the lighting and THOSE FANGS! Fabulous!
Aw thanks for the kind words, Ray! I did have a lot of fun planning the video. Here’s a behind-the-scenes shot of my setup (inside a storage closet). Looking forward to seeing the remaining videos and costumes this month!
@nthibode – And I thought you were sittin in the dark outside LOL
For real Andrew?? I’d be freezing.
Rickey it’s whatever bulb that came with my Ikea lamp (it says E26 6.3W or something?). LOL, the t-shirt filter was a necessity!! I kept playing with layers of cloth and camera settings until I got the effect I wanted. My high school photography class comes in handy once in a while! And of course the storage closet lights were off for the shooting, only the lamp on.
