Quite interesting indeed! I definitely am intrigued by the looper and will invest in one as soon as I can. I definitely will go with the simpler one. 😅
Ideally, I would like to try recording different “layers” like the old MIDI programs. Not sure if you know what that is, but I used to love making up dumb little songs with synthesizers in composing software and my piano keyboard. Trying to figure out how I could do that now but with my uke.
I’m definitely going to start going through the theory course and the recording course on here. I think that will help clarify some things for sure.
Oh intriguing! So, I know basically nothing about jazz or jazz improvisation, but now I feel like I have to try that. If anything my efforts may prove amusing at least. Thank you kindly for the in depth reply!! 😁
@Madz_about_uke, that is so dang lovely!!! That is such a special and sweet song, and you nailed the feeling of it! Well done!
@surferjay, thank you kindly for that!! I really appreciate that. I do feel that way when I’m just relaxing and playing my uke. That really is all that matters, is like you say, losing yourself in the music. Comparison isn’t the best way to look at things, at all, unless it’s inspiring you, which most of the time that is how I feel when I see others play–Inspired.
Hahaha!! Ukes as tinder. Honestly, I feel like you’d get an okay amount of burn time out of them, of course probably only for a fire for one night. Obviously it depends on the type of wood the uke is made out of. You’d have to remove the strings of course or that would be dangerous…
😅😂😅😂😅
How do you add a backtrack to a looper? Is that too involved of a question?
@gi_gi_ oh sweet! It’s good to know that exists! I may peep that at some point until I build the courage to join. ☺️😁@surferjay, that was so dang neat and good!! I’m so jealous of how free you seem to be in your jammin’. Dang, man!
Between that and everyone’s entries in the contest so far this month and the advanced etude…
(Takes my ukuleles, piles them up, and begins dousing them in gasoline, hand trembling with a lit match while sobbing)
Just joking… mostly. 🥺😂
@amybeth, agreed! So good! I… I cried when I listened to it the first time. @surferjay inspired me to get a looper pedal thing (but I haven’t gotten it yet). Clearly my knowledge is also advanced. 😉😅 I’m sure you’ll do great! There’s so much great material on RC101. 😊
Awww thank you kindly, @amybeth! There are other things I hope I can do with it other than make my performance slightly less clumsy. 😉😅
And welcome by the way! 😁
@jbmills07, thank you kindly! ☺️
Congrats, @nelsonlin2021!! Your playing is a beaut and you won a real beaut! 😁
@robinboyd, thank you kindly! If you think you hear it, it’s probably what it is. 😉😅
@surferjay, thank you kindly, too! I did. I made up the melody while I was at work. Then I figured it how to play it on my uke later.I’m obsessed with Robert Frost, like I said, so I have that poem memorized and just figured it how I would sing the words.
That said, I’m not good at singing, at all. 😂🥺
I have to figure out what the chord progression is. I know some of the chords but not all of them. Also I just wrote this song a week ago. I am bad at things. I only wanted to do the fun part which was making up a song.
Obviously, I’m really interested in feedback from @Andrew but I’m sure it’s crunch time with the monthly challenge being almost done. I would guess anyway.
Okay, that’s all. 😅😳
@karenj, that was so lovely! 😁
Okay, Steven Spielberg, I mean, @Mark65536… 😅
That was really amazing! I feel like that guide might be worth watching………. 😳
Hehehe nice! I feel there must be a time that could be tolerable for everyone. I’m earmarking this idear for shizz. Let’s burden Andrew and co. with more ideas like this. 😉😂
I replied, but my post disappeared. I think that happens with posts if you edit them too much. We were on a hot streak for that not happening for a minute … 😅😂🥺😭
I’ll just wait for Andrew to notice this time … 😂😳
@surferjay, that would be so neat to try! Probably way more practical / realistic than an in person convention anyway. Another thing you could do with that is coordinate with other people and play two or three parts of a song live. Not sure if that would work though. That’s a cool idea though! ☺️
@robinboyd, thank you kindly for that! Andrew kindly changed my user name because I wanted it to be the same as on YouTube for the monthly live lessons.Hehe I know what you mean! That’s why I’d be too scared right now to do things like that because I’d be afraid of wrecking my uke. I’m even scared of changing strings because I’ve snapped them before. I’m glad you guys brought up setup though, just another interesting layer to the uke world. 😉😅
