Welcome, Joel! Glad to have you on-board. If you ever need help on the lessons, don’t hesitate to ask 🙂
@misterbones – Here’s my feedback for you 🙂
@misterbones – Sounds great! I wouldn’t worry about speeding up or whatnot, but instead I’d work on getting the rhythms a bit more accurate in the A melody. Loop 1 bar at a time in the tab player (at whatever speed is comfortable) and try to match my playing 100%.
This advice is more-so for other reading this feedback: this is a song that you want to listen to A LOT. One time in music college, I went up to my teacher and said I’m having trouble with the rhythm of a song. He asked: how many times have you listened to it? I said, a few times. He said, come back after 20 times. I didn’t need to come back.
Matt Carlson does! You can hear how awesome it sounds in this lesson.
It’s okay if you hit the body. The most important thing is to come down in the claw shape so that your fingers align as follows for the subsequent pluck:
A (ring)
E (middle)
C (index)
G (thumb)@kirpuff – Sara, can you send me an email with your address. I tried emailing you a couple times but didn’t hear back. I want to ship the Taimane goodies you won from last month out to ya tomorrow 🙂
Hi Andy, I’ve added a custom search field to the forum. Please give it a try and let me know your thoughts 🙂
@emiliano – great question! It’s the latter that you described.
That song uses the 2nd type of “chuck” technique, which is integrated into the strum pattern. Here’s a video I shot last year explaining/showing the 2 types and the muting process.
WE DID IT! WE RAISED $2,051 for The Ukulele Kids Club. The money we raised will donate 40 ukuleles to hospital based children who will be paired up with music therapists that TEACH THEM how to play!
Thanks to everyone who participated and donated in our December Challenge.
Together, WE GAVE the gift of music to children in need.
