Welcome Alex! Looking forward to seeing your performance in the challenge! And feel free to shoot an email to Mike @ http://www.ukerepublic.com/. He’ll be able to recommend a uke if you are looking for a new one 🙂 Tell him I sent ya!
Not yet, I’ve been working on another lesson this wkd and haven’t gotten a chance to review everyone’s performances and pick a winner. Will do soon tho!
I haven’t done a full arrangement for the entire song yet. I am planning to do one for low G in the future. In the meantime, you can find the shortened version’s tab and lesson in our Beginner’s Course (module 5, unit 1).
Stephen wrote an arr. for this tune that we never shot. May have to get him back for it one day 🙂 Btw, video sounds great!
Hi Kasia, sorry for the delay. Your form looks fine, so I think it comes down to the fact that speed/accuracy takes time to develop. Check out the tips for practicing listed in this article.
You can use the on-screen tab viewer to loop a couple bars at a time. Start slow and focus on accurately hitting string two and one; and also focus on playing each note cleanly and in-time. Keep up the good work and let me know how it goes 🙂
One more thing to add, you’ll want to start developing your ear so that you can recognize pitches, intervals, and chords. Check out question 4 from our lightning round #2 video for some tips on where to start with that.
Hi deshika, you would need to have a through understanding of the basics of music theory (which we provide a great intro to in our Music Theory Course) and then would need to study Diatonic Harmony and Chord Progressions. The latter is taught in complete detail in chapter 10 in our 200 page theory ebook: Fretboard Evolution.
Glad the advice helped Kevin! You did very well 🙂 And I’ll be happy to add that to my request list. Wasn’t the Cyndi Lauper tune in that movie? I’d like to do that one, one day.
Hey awesomestrings, can you post a video? I’ll be able to help you much more if I can see/hear what you are doing.
And if anyone is wondering, this is the technique he is working on: https://rockclass101.com/tapping-backbeat-plus-playing-melody-ukulele/.

Welcome Angie! And thank you for the kind words 🙂 I actually just talked about tackling songs that may be beyond your current ability in our Lightning Round video that was released this Friday. It was question 2. I’d encourage you to check it out, as I shared advice on this subject from a friend with 50 years playing experience.
