@mueleski, if that sound were written out, it’d be, “uh-rrRRRRrrr-tah-POW!” Oh my, I’ll never be the same. 😂
Yes, that jump to that F chord is super tricky. I struggle with those big leaps too, and also with fighting the impulses of my “too much” gene. 😔
@Ben-j283 and @ksapp92, you both did a lovely job with said etude, though! 😊And @jbmills07, you did awesomely… awesome with that one!
@mueleski, I want the sound that you make at the beginning of your video to be my incoming text sound on my phone. That is what you call… Amazing. 😅😂 I feel like someone needs to turn that into a meme-able techno song. 😅 And you did great with your playing! E’erybody did!
@leb397, agreed, SOooo excited for that classical course. I… I put it on my calendar. 😅😭 It’s going to be amazing.
Everyone did such an amazing job on these ‘tudes!
@surferjay, story- / character-driven games are some of my favorite kinds of games, so I’m defs intrigued! I also like that it’s apparently set in the south of the U.S. because they have pretty fantastic accents there. 😅 See, now I have to agree that it would be perfect for our game club (discussions)! I’m not the biggest fan of zombies due to being, well, incredibly squeamish, but if the story is worthwhile I could overlook that (probably). 😅
That was such a beautiful start to that song, friend! Did you add in the melody or did she play that in the video? I know she sang but I didn’t notice if she played the melody on guitar too. So nice!!
@samash07, that sounds pretty cool, imma have to check that person out! I hope you do choose to learn that song too; that’d be funny if there were three different renditions in this thread. 😅@surferjay, I just watched the first minute or two and can already tell it’s a game I’d like to play. My sister, bro, and one of our friends and I have a “game club” where we play a game then discuss. We’re playing through Alan Wake right now but maybe that one could be next!
But are there zombies…?
@robinboyd, that’s a lovely start! I love that song so much.@samash07, that was so flippin’ beautiful! Where did that arrangement come from?
I have not played The Last of Us but it seems intriguing!
@surferjay, that song is one of my favorite songs of all time, both the original version and the slower acoustic version! And I love that version too! I hope you and @robinboyd cover it, that’d be pretty awesome! 😊@Andrew, awwww, wow, thank you so much! I really appreciate that. Thank you for accepting it! Ha, I feel bad if I ever have vexed you with my shenanigans because it’s clear that you and your team work very hard and create such amazing songs! I just like to play all songs that way, by modifying them in different ways. I hope to get to that specific course this year as I intend to hit the RC101 courses hard, as another resolution. Thank you again and sorry for that! 😅😳
@Andrew, oh, sorry. I think I misunderstood the video because I thought it said you could add to that one or extend it, so it’s the same chords / notes as Etude No. 3 but played in a clawhammer style. I changed too much. Oops. I’m embarrassed, man. I’ll redo it, sorry. 😳 Thank you, Andrew! 😶😔😅
@jbmills07, hehe, despite being antsy, she seems like an above average well behaved lady! Good “shoulder kitty”! 😊
…
For this challenge, I tried to clawrhammer Etude No. 3. Not sure how successful it was, but here ’tis! 😊
That was so amazingly beautiful! Really, really well done, thank you for sharing, @janaq1! 😊
@surferjay, hahaha, the overly long pointy nail, that’s quite an image! 😅 I also tried to grow out my thumb nail longer than usual for the tremolo, but because of the shape of my thumb it didn’t help much either. So, I switched to my index finger.
Oh that’s very interesting about Taimane and her acrylic nails! I need to look into that ASAP. I like having nice, fancy nails, man! But I need to get a different job because my job, as “an industrial antique cleaner,” stains my nails too much, so I also need a different job. I have a lot to do this year–including starting that blog. 😂😅
Same. I love these live lessons; they’re kind of like the ukulele club meeting I always wanted, and so much appreciation to Andrew and Matt for putting these together and wading through all the verbose tomfoolery. I. I think that’s partly my fault. Just partly. 😅
@robinboyd, hahaha, well, not literally a marshmallow. Just a protective suit that makes me look like a marshmallow or a CSI or an Oompa Loompa, depending on who(m) you ask.
😂 Sorry.
It seems like with many creative ventures nail length / integrity is a factor. Pottery is one for sure. Even with drawing, longer nails get in the way or just get stained with material. Although with ukulele, I noticed that Taimane Gardner actually had nice manicured nails in one of her concerts, so maybe all hope isn’t lost.
Things I never thought I’d say: I’ll wait to cut my nails again until I hear the advice of a ukulele gentleman on the internet. 😅
This should be pretty interesting indeed!
The main “nail issue” I’ve had with ukulele is with the tremolo technique. It isn’t just the nail length, but if the nail “bypasses the finger” which mine doesn’t enough on my thumb; it creates that harmonic sound. Maybe I still don’t have the hand angle right or something though?
Sigh, I used to have such nice nails before I started playing ukulele and working in a wealthy baron’s basement dressed as a marshmallow…
