I wanted to play Careless Whisper so much at the start of this month. But since I missed last month’s due date for recording, I decided to take the more realistic one for myself. Here is my work on People Are Strange.

Overall I think this try is ok, except the final part. Still trying to get a stable harmonic, currently only 50% chance that it works. I really want to copy-paste the final harmonic part.@rickeymike and @nerdjenni: Thank you!
I like Sound of Silence too. Is it possible to have both high-G and low-G arrangements? I think it’ll be interesting to compare the sound or even the different thinking behind the arrangements.
(Actually it’s because I want to try my new low-G Tenor…)
Thank you Andrew! You pointed out one of the things that I’m struggling with. I can clap or sing with metronome correctly, but once the uke is on, my hands and brain seem not co-work well… Anyway, I’ll keep working on that.
And by details, I meant these other problems:
1. When speeding up the triplet, I get un-even strums. Like one string pops while the other string misses.
2. I usually lose tempo during chord transition because of preparing the chord change too early.
3. I seem to put too much pressure on left hand to avoid buzz but lose dexterity.Another thing, I still cannot figure out how to play the song without the strap. I suppose that thumb should support the neck during chord transition, like D7 to G7. But when I slide the left hand along the neck, the neck kind of sticks with the thumb and the uke shakes.
The pursuit of speed had been making me tense and often screw the details, so I’m working with a slower speed now. This one is the best shot that I can get, still stuck sometimes though. Definitely need some advice.
Thanks to Andrew and Christopher for the very interesting course.
