Just tried to play “Our First Song” this way. And also a pentatonic box up and down. So basically with repetition of notes all down strokes are the 1st 3rd 5th 7th etc 8th notes (or 16th) and the rest up strokes? And how is that if you play a scale in triplets? DUD DUD or DUD UDU or something else?
Thanks Andrew, yes I intended to keep the tempo of the intro but was speeding up, cause of all those words, like a horse I couldn’t stop anymore. So I ended faster then I started.
I AM A PREMIUM MEMBER.
I used a capo to match my squeaky voice.
Don’t pay attention to the very two last vocal notes :/
I’m not a singer but this was fun to do.
I did speed up during playing. Not used to singing and playing.
So many lyrics!
I put the uke over an amp so it is slightly amplified.Wow Robin, what a great job. Just wondering, are you strumming the back beat? And are you plucking the 4th note of the pattern? I like this sound! So far I was just tapping on the fretboard, but myself didn’t really like the outcome so far. Thanks for showing this option. It looks like you are strumming with your index in the chorus and bridge mainly? Also the chorus with a D shape makes more sense instead of omitting the 4th string, and sounds fuller, but I got used to this now. Yes it is very hard not to speed up, I generally end faster then I started. I am considering to sneak in a visual metronome out of side of the cam. But maybe not, it might sound a bit clumsy. Better to (not on purpose) accelerate and flow…..
P.s. enjoy your holidays.Well done Stian! This song brings me memories of my father.
And Lisa too 🙂 great you nailed the song! I still find it so hard, so many words.
Abaluyot, you have great rhythm. Excuse my curiosity, what is that oblong instrument hanging on the wall behind you?Hi lisamcct and johanna2509. I am also practicing ‘Better Together’. I also find it very difficult to memorise, sometimes the syllables pass fast and sometimes there are only a few in a sentence, it took me quite a while to learn. And I’m still stumbling over the words. But the lyrics are beautiful, I do hear the sea between the words and imagine myself on a tropical beach under a mango tree together with my dreams and memories and daily reality. The song itself contains only 6 musical notes in total but still it is hard. So very impressive Johanna that you nailed that within two weeks. As Jack starts himself: “There is no combination of words I could put on a back of a postcard”, instead he wrote two pages of words. I am also not a singer, so double challenge here! Great job Johanna!
