Welcome Mikkel! That’s a fun song! It was a difficult one to get down. I remember that I ended up re-recording it the next day, as the first take I laid down was wayyy too fast. Looking back, I’m glad I spent the extra time on it 🙂
Totally fine! I do same too, just watch out on how hard the attack is. We only need to come down with enough force to create the percussive sound.
When you come down, with a claw shape, it will hit the nails and the skin above it. You shouldn’t be getting cuts… perhaps you are coming down too hard. Try to lighten the attack, we only need to come down with enough force to produce the percussive effect.
Hi Becky, thanks for signing up! Basic members get complete access to all the assets on this page: https://rockclass101.com/free-lessons/.
TWD requires premium membership to access the tablature assets. The statement that it was taught in its entirety, was in reference that the complete video tutorial is free. 🙂
Okay, so the above will hold true based off that price point. Unfortunately, I’m unfamiliar with them and can’t comment on their brand/quality.
If you do upgrade in the future, consider Islander ukuleles. Affordable and great quality 🙂
If it feels difficult to press down up there, you may want to consider getting it setup. They will adjust the action (string height), making it easier to play and should help create a better sustain of the notes in that position.
It def sounds like an issue with the uke. What model/brand is it?
Looks like it exceeds the upload limit, which is very small, as it is for photos only. Can you upload to YouTube and share a link?
Here is everyone on page 4 🙂
mheiden, great job Maureen! Keep plugging away with the dynamic expressions. Did you try a lighter picking approach? I think that would work really well for your playing style and create a nice variation in the tonal landscape.
Watch out for bending at the first joint, which I see you did in the second chord. Try to keep it bent and on the fingertips.
rickkhan, loved it! Had to share it on our Facebook page 🙂 here’s a video with some feedback on relaxing your playing.
Keep at it with Etude 15, sounds good so far! I’d recommend a high G as the melody notes take advantage of that tuning. Low G lessons launch next Friday 🙂
nggnmm, excellent playing! By the way, I believe Mike is shipping out your uke this week 🙂
