@june2020 – Timing sounds perfect. Wonderful performance 👏
@malku2603 – Beautifully played and very cool to see you do the “flick” strum technique. One tip for that technique, it sounds like the pluck of the melody note is delayed a bit behind the strum. Try to cut down on that gap by plucking immediately following the strum.
And TY for the kind words! I appreciate it 🙂
@madz_about_uke – Wow! That was phenomenal, bravo! 👏
Hi Sara, it sounds like you are falling behind. I’m emailing you an mp3 with a click throughout. Try tapping your foot on beats 1 and 4 throughout. Also, double check the chords when backing the solo. Couple sound off. And TY for the kind words! I appreciate it 🙂
Thank you, Annemarie! I use Jazz III picks. You can hear what they sound like on uke in the solo for La Bamba and The Chicken.
I tried felt, I didn’t like them. Never tried leather and honestly never knew that was an option. The Jazz III are made out of nylon. Diff feel than plastic picks. They also are small picks, which I prefer over large ones.
@maryjanew – Ohhh! That works really well as a duet. Love it, sounds great!
Have a great trip and yes, PM tag is only needed for K challenges 🙂
@ukandrea – Beautifully played and a nicely added harmony in your version 👏I don’t have much experience with pedals for uke, but for guitar I do! I use a Wampler Ego Compressor and Boss DD-3 for delay. You can hear them both on this clip:
Sure! But I’d recommend posting it in Showcase Your Playing as more folks will see it that way 🙂
Have you tried barring from 3rd string down (omit 4th)? That’s my go-to trick for simplifying barre chords.
Yes! the most recent “creative” challenge we did was September of ’20. Folks got to submit original songs and we had some great entries 🙂
@laurakarr12 – Beautifully played! Happy 4th!!
@poopsies – Excellent performance! Check out this lesson for help with singing while playing 🙂
@clempek – Well done and I dig the rhythm changes you threw in for bars 9 and 10 🙂@lisadmh – You can omit it, Lisa. No worries 🙂
@ldarrow – I would just play a regular G 🙂
