Wow Simon. That was really good and inspiring. As a beginner this really gives me something to shoot for. I liked both performances with the studio effects. Very cool!
Hi Robinboyd: Well I’m glad you never gave up on the Uke! I thought your “Carol of the Bells” performance was terrific. I’m just beginning to learn the Uke and music in general and only hope I can play it as well as you someday. As you said it’s interesting how differently people practice. I wrote out my “plan” more of a cheat sheet because it’s seems like there is so much to learn in music that I was overwhelmed. I hope that if I stick with it long enough that I can just grab the Uke on any given day and learn something interesting and new. Thanks for your reply. Take care and I hope you and your family is safe and doing well.
Andrew. Thank you very much for the feedback! Wow, you’re right. I didn’t even notice I was doing that. But I noticed the chord didn’t sound quite right. I’ve noticed that for some reason, it is almost easier for me to make a full barr with regard to getting my ring finger over the top of the string. I even experimented with the G chord using the CAGFD (F shape) but that was going to take a lot more practice. I have smaller hands (don’t want to use that as an excuse). I will try the exercises you suggested to see if I can improve that muscle memory. I also felt nervous and tense recording myself which may have also contributed to my left hand form. On the flip side, maybe the string bending will help me when I learn the blues. Haha.
Thanks again…Pat
Hello Andrew. This is my first ever video post. I’m just starting my musical journey and chose to learn the Ukulele. I was hesitant to post this as a beginner, but I figured what the heck. I chose the recommended beginner song “Our First Song”. Look forward to any constructive feedback. I’m really enjoying the courses and content you have on this site.
I think I’m going to take a shot at posting my first video. I’m still in the beginner stage and never posted anything. January challenge might be a good start.
