@lhamilton – Excellent progress, Linda! I’m looking forward to hearing your arrangement 🙂
@The_Bumble_Bard – It’s coming together very nicely, Rachael! Love the haunting feel/vibe.
@jedart – Timing is sounding good, Jed! Try not to rush the triplets at 47 seconds.
@malku2603 – Wow! Great job on the speed and feel, Akansha!@jedart – Sorry about that! They got caught in the spam folder, which happens when 2 videos are embedded in the same post. Unfortunately, there’s not a way for me to relax that rule. But I approved the post and they are showing now 🙂
Glad to have you here with us, Jamie! I’d keep going. One thing you can do is use those exercises in module 2, unit 5 as a warm-up when you first pick up your uke to start practicing.
When you’ve got those down, I’d replace them with a more musical-sounding exercise, such as the beginner level units in modules 2, 3, and 4 from our Fingerpicking Course.
You should join us for this month’s challenge. Challenges help keep folks motivated. I’d recommend picking 1 of the 3 performance pieces from Module 5 (in the Beginner’s Course) as your goal for this month.
I’ve actually asked Matt about using the ghost strum before with a low G, and in his opinion, it doesn’t work. This is because the high G creates a drone, whereas a low G would stand out too much. With that said, if you like how it sounds on a low G, go for it! But his advice would be to save this strumming technique for a high G.
@malku2603 – Beautifully played, keep up the great work! 🙂
Wow, Rick! That is quite the resume. Very happy to have you on-board. I look forward to hearing you play 🙂
@brettboy – I do! Check out this song. I always liked this song and the keys part translated really well to the uke using tapping. 🙂
And for artificial harmonics, this is def the most challenging song we’ve arranged.
@The_Bumble_Bard – I like it! It has a haunting feel to it.Happy NY everyone! Looks like we have some awesome ideas this year 🙂
@malku2603 – I think either option works for your playing level, so I would pick the one you’d like to learn first. Alternatively, you could work on both if time permits.The printable tab should match the lesson. With performances, sometimes we play a section or two slightly different, so I update the Soundslice player tab to reflect those changes.
If you need help on a specific part, please let me know. 🙂
WE DID IT! WE RAISED $2,315 for The Ukulele Kids Club. The money we raised will donate 46 ukuleles to hospital based children who will be paired up with music therapists that TEACH THEM how to play!
Thanks to everyone who participated and donated in our December Challenge.
Together, WE GAVE the gift of music to children in need. ❤️
While we came a little short of hitting our participation goal this month, I went ahead and made our full donation of $500 to The UKC tonight 🙂
Together, we have now raised $2,265 for the charity! AMAZING!
Thank you to each and everyone of you who has donated. Your generosity truly makes a difference in the lives of the children.
If you’d like to donate, it’s not too late. I will be updating our tally until December 31st. Please send me an email with your donation amount so that I can keep our tally up-to-date 🙂
