Here’s my go at the Walking Dead theme. I haven’t participated in a few months and am feeling pretty rusty but figured my sub par performance might encourage others who are also low on the learning curve. I also can’t believe how much worse I play once I hit the record button. Oh well, I am trying to let go of perfectionism and focus on improvement and just have fun. I hope the link works okay.
Here’s my Fingerpicking and Strumming. There are still lots of mistakes and pauses, but it is the best of my million takes (or maybe it just seemed like that many takes). Thanks for the lessons. I do think I am making some slow but steady progress.

How can I get clearer sounds with my finger picking. Sometimes the notes are all warbelly and/or muffled, especially obvious on my recordings. Also, I’m wondering if you think strings make much of a difference, how often to change them, best brands, etc. Thanks for the great lessons.
Here’s my recording of Chopsticks. I gave up on getting a clean recording, as I could have made another thousand takes and made a thousand different mistakes. That said, this was a fun song to learn and I find the challenge motivating. I am still working on a consistent tempo. Thanks!
After several years of just strumming along, Indecided to give Uke 101 a try. I only signed up less than a week ago and found the “easy” Green Tea to be a challenge. And trying to make a recording was a while other learning curve! I am embarrassed and humbled by the mistakes, but also proud to let go of my perfectionism and embrace the opportunity to learn. Let me know if the attached file doesn’t work. Thanks again. It’s been fun!
