@surferjay I’m so sorry Jay. Jeremiah 29:11,12 have some encouraging words. I hope you find them to be so for you and your family. Thanks for posting again. That was amazing. You’ve been missed. I was wondering how you are doing about a month back. We just never know what people are going through. Thanks for the reminder….
Didnt know anything like that existed. Wouldnt work for the 5/6 page song I’m learning right now 😂 Cute idea. Did you find anything yet?
Wow that was great @mark1256
@ukeduke any solid wood uke would work. There are some decent ones for less than $60 on Amazon that are solid mahaogany top, back and sides like the Aklot. I’ve given them away as gifts. They come with a bundle of things like a bag, tuner, strap, etc…. and are all solid wood.
No pick is normally used for the ukulele. It’s a rare thing.
What a wonderful gift for your child.
@surferjay Hey Jay, where have you been? We were missing your loop uploads. Great to see an upload even if it’s old ☺️. It’s an oldy but goody. Are you still playing uke regularly?
@malku2603 That was so nice.
@rebeca I enjoyed your playing so much. It made me feel like crying and I don’t know why. I want to learn it now. Beautifully played. Glad you healed well.I’ve decided on a song for the month. Evan and Katie’s rendition of TAIMANE’S Moon. What a beautiful song. Evan looks like he was 12 in that video. His playing is so so good.
How exciting to be able to pick and RockClass101 song. Can’t wait to get started. Gotta choose one first 😂
@Stephen I think Em is the key Stu from Ukulele Zen likes to play and sing it in. Thanks Stephen.
@The_bumble_bard Hello my friend, thanks alot. Yes I just loved your video along with your playing. It was wonderful….. As far as my singing journey it is hilarious. I’ve dealt with losing my voice and going hoarse almost all my life. About 7 years ago I figured that if I learn to sing maybe it could help me. I have to constantly work on breath support in all areas like speech, working out, singing, whatever….I also warm up my voice daily with a straw in about 8 minutes 🙂 The interlubes are my friend 😂 You tube is great if you don’t give up. It took about 5 years to figure out what a true warmup is and which exercises are for me. Besides, I’ve had a few lessons with different Teachers I’ve found online/YT. You learn something from each one but in the end you must learn your own instrument/body and how you respond to diff techniques. It’s all trial and error and not giving up 😂 I don’t do well with the critical type Teachers who have nothing good to say at all. It’s a very vulnerable thing to do. After a while you realize you aren’t singing for other people per say. I’m happy with what I’ve learned thus far and it encourages me to continue since there’s so much to learn like singing the note you’re playing on the uke 😂🤣😂🤣 lol
You have started a clawhammer revolution. It’s been a blast to enjoy seeing so many pick it up. It looks so difficult.
@Stephen Thanks so much for the good pointers. I can honestly say I haven’t put two and two together yet in regards to melody notes, etc. so I appreciate the conversation. I don’t play the Bb until the outro. I think I was playing a G but either way I should match my voice to what I play 😂 I’m laughing because I should know that already. Thanks for helping me be aware of this. What key do you like to sing Summertime in?
@Brettboy that was AWESOME…
@malku2603 Wow! That was soooo good 🥳🥳🥳
Thanks @The_bumble_bard and @Leb397 You guys are too kind. Thanks so much. I’ve been working on learning to sing over the past 7 years. I’ve come a long way but I still have a long way to go. I will keep practicing and pushing forward. Thanks for the encouragement because it’s sooooo scary to do in front of people lol 🙂 and by no means do I want to be “famous”….just a friend of God ☺️☺️☺️
