katazumiriParticipantFor further experiments, I used Matt Carlson’s recording (I hope he’s not offended, since I shifted the last A.H. by two bars).
Besides, I was in a dreamy, nostalgic mood and longed for railroad romance, so I browsed through photos with some connection to Tennessee.
And this is what came out.
Have a nice day! ๐ถ ๐ ๐ถ

katazumiriParticipantSo, folks, here’s my Tennessee waltz.
It was a bit too difficult for me; a whole month without a few days of practice wasn’t enough… Here’s what worked.
Please exclude me from the prize drawing this month.

katazumiriParticipant@Andrew, @marianne, @leb397 Thank you very much! I’m very glad you liked it ๐
@the_bumble_bardย Ha ha. I only know this song from the radio. It’s Latin pop (Colombian) in Spanish, and it was a hit in the summer of 2005 in Germany. But you’re absolutely right about this song having great dance potential. It’s a popular choice for Zumba classes (a combination of aerobics and Latin dance elements).
I really like your arrangement of “Pathรฉtique” ๐
@nat-ukeย I enjoyed your performance!
And yes, working with a video editor can be stressful ๐ My video editor tends to shut down on its own (mostly when I get impatient and rushed). Then it’s interesting to know when I last saved my work. And how much do I need to redo?January 24, 2026 at 7:34 pm in reply to: Participate in the January 2026 Member Challenge โ You Decide What To Work On! #79661
katazumiriParticipantHi everyone!
Here’s my result.
The original version was about 100 beats per minute, my version is 70, so significantly slower.Lead uke โ there were double stop, slides, and pull-offs.
Rhythm uke โ there were staccato eighth notes off-beat. I don’t know how good they work…
C-Recorder โ the original key of F-sharp minor in the verse and F-sharp major in the chorus wasn’t very comfortable, so I transposed everything to E minor / E major.Have a nice day! ๐

katazumiriParticipant@The_Bumble_Bard – I’m glad you liked it.
I think the guys used the “Hall” sound effect when recording the banjo and other string instruments.
Coffee (or its component caffeine) is quite an interesting thing. On the one hand, it’s credited with many positive properties. On the other hand, if there are contraindications, the negative effects may outweigh the positive expectations. So sometimes it’s easier to give up coffee or find a substitute.
Good luck with mastering watercolors. Would you like to use your drawings for videos in the member chalenges?

katazumiriParticipantHappy New Year!
1) Implementation โ Iโm working on song โLa Camisa Negraโ by Juanes.
2) Application โ I will be partially guided by this sheet music from MuseScore (ย https://musescore.com/user/29889857/scores/10957468ย ). The piece is in F# minor ๐ … I’m not sure I want to stay here
3) Evaluation โ Iโll post a video of me playing the song before the deadline ๐December 19, 2025 at 6:10 am in reply to: Techno music with ukulele and household appliances (objects) #79274

katazumiriParticipantThank you, @The_Bumble_Bard ๐
Oh! When I read about the “vibrating phone sound,” I thought of Klangphonics. They play techno on anything they can get their hands on, including the ukulele and household appliances (everyday items). I’ll start a new thread so as not to clutter this one.

katazumiriParticipantHey everyone!
This month I’m picking “Over the River and Through the Woods”.
I’d never heard this song before, so I decided to check out the lyrics. It turns out the first verse mentions sleighs and snow. I thought sleigh bells would be a good fit. And here’s what I came up with:
