Welcome, @kpurdy! Glad to have you on-board! I’m excited to watch your performance 🙂
Welcome, @lynnzo! Glad to have you on-board. I look forward to watching your performance in the October Challenge 🙂
The chorus uses Matt’s chunking method for the first hit. The second hit is a muted up strum, although I only hit the A string when I come up. But you can hit more or all strings.
This video breaks down what’s happening in that section:
If you want to make it easier, you could replace the chunk with a muted down strum.
Slap, chunk, chuck, backbeat are interchangeable – they all mean the same thing. And Matt is correct, there is no upward chuck.
That’s a great request, Dave! I’ll send the folks that make the course software an email to see if it’s something that’s built-in already or if they can add it as a feature for a future release.
@planetfink – Great to see you back, Kathy! Your performance was beautiful. Great playing 🙂
@myukemylife – Gorgeous playing and your uke sounds amazing! Only thing I’d say is try to keep the timing/tempo a bit more steady. Keep up the great work!
@raysantan – I agree with Rickey, beautiful playing Wrian! Keep working on that B melody. But amazing job overall! 🙂
@b_ukes_101 – Welcome back! Playing sounds great! Don’t be afraid to use the pinky finger for notes on the 8th fret when doing the barre chord on the 5th fret. The pinky tends to be the weakest finger and folks hide away from using it, but using it will make those sections much easier/more efficient to play 🙂
@zongozongo – Beautifully played! Well done!@rickeymike – Bravo, Rickey! It’s amazing to hear how far you’ve come with your playing. It’s truly impressive. And I love the video, brilliant job on putting it together 🙂
