AndrewKeymasterThanks Brett! I really appreciate it 🙂

AndrewKeymasterGreat job Twizzler! I converted it to an MP3 and put the link in your post for others to enjoy listening to, in case the other file doesn’t work for everyone 🙂
AndrewKeymasterHi Phil,
An easier way to count this song would be to convert it to 4/4 – in essence we would be doubling the BPM from 70 to 140. Take a look at this tab/notation. It should be much easier to count/play.
Cheers,
Drew
AndrewKeymasterAnother fantastic version of “Hedwig’s Theme” from Shashank!
AndrewKeymasterAbsolutely! It will be a fun way to share and get constructive feedback and support from the community here 🙂
AndrewKeymasterOk, so the giveaway is def happening as I just bought this Luna Pineapple Uke on Amazon! I’ll make an official announcement soon.
Another idea: as I’m working on finishing up our new fingerpicking course (to be released in March), we could “theme” the site member challenge to be on: fingerpicking. So you have to pick one from the following 3:
1) Our First Song
2) Aura Lee
3) Fingerpicking Etude no. 4-

AndrewKeymasterHaha! Welcome ST. Glad you found us 🙂
AndrewKeymasterFixed! Very good job Phil, thanks for sharing! It’s always an honor to hear people learning these tunes 🙂 Btw, I’d love to share this video on our facebook page, is that okay?
On another note: We are going to run a site challenge soon, same idea as you presented here, but we might add a little giveaway! I was thinking of doing the site challenge on this lesson: Our First Song. What do you think?
AndrewKeymasterHi Bri, check out these 2 lessons that explain both concepts:
1) Add a backbeat to your rhythm playing
2) How to fingerpickAlso, check out our Beginner’s Course, as it contains many more lessons on these concepts and more!
AndrewKeymasterWelcome Bri! Glad to have you on board 🙂
AndrewKeymasterHey Phil, if you’re having issues on a smartphone or tablet device, you may want to disable the video portion and only play the audio with the tab. You can do this by clicking on the gear icon and choosing the “audio only” version instead. This will allow you to select a playback speed anywhere from 25% to 100%.
AndrewKeymasterLol! 😀
AndrewKeymasterYes, I do. Although, you may not like how I learned to do it, lol! I used to practice in the dark, that way I couldn’t cheat. It really just comes down to: the more you do it, the easier it gets.
For me, I found motivation to master not looking by knowing that one day when I gigged, I could look at and connect with the audience instead of staring at the fretboard.
AndrewKeymasterHi Diane,
I hope the lesson went well! Teaching is so rewarding 🙂 Def, keep me posted.
Cheers,
Andrew
AndrewKeymasterHi Vida, I remember we emailed each other about this issue. Honestly, it’s hard to say. Can you share a video of your playing (clear view of both hands). That’s probably going to be the only way I can help figure out if it’s a playing correction that is needed or if the ukulele needs attention (setup).
