Thanks Dirk55, but that’s not me playing. I agree with the nostalgia provided by this song, and yes, I’d like to learn some sex pistols tunes too. It’s Victoria Day weekend here in Canada so maybe God Save the Queen?
How about Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien by Edith Piaf
Great job Grace! Much improvement over those first videos. As with anything, the best way to improve is practice, practice, practice!
Hi Andrew. Quick question on tapped harmonics. When you tap, do you tap hard enough to have the string come in contact with the fret wire, or are you just tapping the string itself (as in plucked harmonics)?
Thanks!
Well done everybody! It’s half way through the month and I’m nowhere near being able to start the million takes it’ll get me to post something worthwhile. I guess that why they call it a “challenge”!
Keep up the good work!
P.S. – I’m getting my new uke for Father’s Day and I’ve already strung my old one as a low G (for those who commented earlier!)
MaryJane, good advice, but to be clear, I’m not looking for reasons not to buy another uke. I’m too lazy to change a string every time I want to switch!
Another beginner low-G tune. Just the excuse I need to buy another uke! Got any budget-friendly suggestions that can be tuned low-G? I already have a Kala KA-C.
Thanks Andrew. First let me say that I really appreciate the individual feedback and the effort you put into this. That video made me feel like you were in my living room giving me a private lesson. Awesome job!
I agree – I did feel like I was rushing it. The original is set at 120bpm, and I was trying to keep it as close to that as I could – and you can see it was a struggle for me – especially the slide/pull-off at the beginning of melody B.
I also don’t know why for this particular piece I chose the thumb-only approach – my preferred right-hand is usually using 4-fingers. I guess I have difficulty transitioning between strumming and picking, so using the thumb for both just made sense to me. Is there a lesson on how to get that strumming/picking down, or is it just a matter of practice, practice, practice?
Yay – two months in a row – must be all this extra spare time :/
