Harold, thought I’d leave you some feedback. I really think you did such a tremendous job! So much fun to watch 🙂 Glad to see people jamming out on the concept tunes!
The only constructive feedback I can think of is to try to use your pinky more in the riff. Sometimes you did large jumps from 1st to 2nd to 3rd finger, when 1, 3, 4 may have been easier/less movement of the overall hand.
Other than that, I would work on the chords a bit more to clean them up, but really it was awesome! Great timing and feel. That’s what music is all about!
Awesome job, themotivator! Sounds perfect. I did arrange that tune for soprano and concert/tenor, so be sure to learn the next section and post that here to qualify for the giveaway 🙂
Hi! We cover that in our course: An Introduction to Music Theory & Jamming. Specifically in this lesson from the course: Chord Theory: Triads and Seventh Chords. Although, I’d recommend to start at the beginning as theory concepts build on top of each other.
Welcome! I’m glad you found us 🙂 Kris is such a talented musician! That’s awesome to hear that his arrangement inspired you! I’m planning to release a course later this year on various techniques, so stay tuned!
Sounding great Lisa! I think what’s giving you trouble lies in finger strength, as your form looks great. So here’s what I would do, take those barre chords (or any for that matter) and move them up the neck, this will decrease the tension and make it easier to fret. So what you doing is practicing where less strength is required, and gradually move it back down.
Try to pluck through the chords playing each note individually in addition to strumming, listening to which string gives you trouble (although you have already realized it’s the E string). So try to focus on applying more pressure there, but take it easy… Strength comes in time.
kmelton, can you share a video of you demonstrating this? I’ll be better able to help you if I can see what’s happening 🙂
Very cool Brett! I miss playing in an original band and creating, so fulfilling and fun! I dig “Eagle” a lot too. What are some bands that inspire you guys?
WE HAVE A WINNER! Congrats to kathyk19 who guessed correctly, Stray Cats! Love them! I’ve seen Brian Setzer twice and this summer he’s coming to town with his Rockabilly tour. I AM SO PUMPED for this show!
I’ll send ya an email and get this uke out to you! Thanks to all who guessed, this was fun! Shoutouts to those who guessed Dokken and RATT. 2 of my favs! I’ll leave ya with a Stray Cats hit if you’ve never heard ’em 🙂
Dude Harold, wow! That was amazing! SO, SO, SO AWESOME! I sent it to Stephen too, he loved it. I’ll see if I can get him on here to leave ya a few pointers on his tune 🙂
Hi Amy, I usually refer everyone over to Mike at Uke Republic for help with choosing your next ukulele. He’ll know about all these different models and will definitely be able to help you. Tell him I sent ya! 🙂
