Thanks for the feedback, Andrew!
Do you mean something like this?
Matt said (quote from “Learn 3 Japanese Inspired Songs”, 16:58 )
…one thing i want to say is when you´re playing this
there are rhythm markers for a reason
but if you´ve listened to Iroh in the show sing this… 🙂
play it from your heart
it´s okay to hold some notes a little bit longer have others go shorter
as long as you´re trying to create the sound
remember that this tune is really supposed to be simulating kind of an ancient folk song
and it´s not meant to be playrd with a band and a metronome
as much as it is to be played with rubato and feeling
so keep that in mind when you´re playing through it…Unfortunately, I didn’t see the cartoon and didn’t know that Iroh all the same can read sheet music and knows how to use a metronome 🙂
When I watch a video on YuoTube I take notations on the side, very old-fashioned, with a pencil (see Attachment).
It looks a bit messy, but I hope I haven’t put too many mistakes in it 🙂
Next time I’ll try not to lean too much on my heart, as it doesn’t really like syncopation and always simplifies everything.
Best regards

(with friendly support

I thought: Maybe this song can be played as a trio?Playing with the metronome turned out to be not so easy. Sometimes I was ahead of the metronome, sometimes I was behind it … Not that discrepancies were too big … But I’m afraid that here and there voices are not synchronized. At least I tried it 🙂
Have a nice day!
Thank you Andrew!
Yes, Grace and I have similar problems, I found her question last month.
If I take the tenor ukulele, everything seems to be fine. Only it has a low G and I don’t want to change strings all the time.
If I take the soprano ukulele, then problems begin.
If I increase the pressure of the right hand on the body, then the ukulele falls forward…
If I decrease the pressure of the right hand on the body, then the ukulele falls down from the left…
That is, everything is very unstable.
I got tired and put the ukulele upright.
Apparently this is not correct, but it stood rooted to the spot (which made me very happy) and I had the opportunity to think about the placement of my fingers.
And Matt shoved the ukulele under his armpit. If I do the same, then the fingers of my right hand will be at the level of the first fret.
I see that Grace solved the problem this month with a belt… I have nothing to fasten the belt to yet.
Sorry for my English. I don’t know how well Google translate works.
