That’s awesome, Donovan. Keep up the great work and look forward to hearing your take on the Stranger Things theme 🙂
NM – looks like they do cover basics.
@jinajupiter – I wouldn’t use a pick. Only for the riff, if you want. Picks feel awkward with uke. I think b/c the instrument is so small. Pick with guitar feels natural.
I’d pick up for upbeats and down for down beats. For further study with picking technique: I’ve never seen anyone teach it and analyze it like these guys. Troy is incredible. But, not sure if they focus on beginner material.
@beebee – Donovan’s awesome! I can’t wait to hear his rendition of ST 🙂
You played so well! Timing was excellent. Don’t worry about speed, keep doing what you are doing and it will come. P.S. love the shirt!
(Yeah — I know RC101 is more of a chord melody site… 😉 )
That’s gonna change. Our new course we are working on is rooted in strumming and will incorporate fingerpicking elements. But I’ve also got plans to produce intermediate/advanced strumming lessons that go beyond basic chords and island strum or chucking.
Are there any muted strumming lessons on RC101?
That’s a great lesson idea! Lemme think on it.
@lisadmh – I can’t think of a way to make it easier than cut the chord and just play the melody on string 1.
Sounds exactly as it should. Great job on adapting it!
Side note: I really should do another video game tune soon, some of them are so beautiful, like this one 🙂
@brenna – I love it, so much fun to watch. Great job to both of you and hope your trip is going awesome! 🙂
@en_joy – practice. It can be a learning curve, like riding a bike, but when you get it, it’s there for life.
@lisadmh – no, capo-ing just moves the chords to higher voicings (and different keys). This is why I recommend working with someone who sings, so they can identify her range and recommend keys that are suitable.
