lbilkieParticipantThanks, @Andrew. I probably should do that. I’m going to try changing the strings first. They feel thinner and tighter(?) than the ones on my Koaloha. It could just be my imagination, but you are right to suggest that I should have it checked out at least.

lbilkieParticipantHelp! I really want to learn Aloha ‘Oe, but the only uke I can somewhat make work right now is my Koaloha tenor that’s strung with a Low G. I just can’t seem to make my other tenor (Lanikai) cooperate- not sure if it’s an action issue or what. The neck may be thicker and my fingers are not strong enough. And forget tapping that harmonic!
So my question is, should I restring my Koaloha with a high G or just keep practicing with my Lanikai and try to build up strength? What do you do when you want to play high and low G songs with your favorite uke? Buy another one, ha ha?
P.S. @johanna2509 that was awesome!

Well, here is take 9. I swear I can play this song perfectly- just not all at the same time in front of a camera, apparently! Oh well, I worked hard on this one and had fun with it. Great for summer!

lbilkieParticipantAndrew,
Thanks so much for the feedback. I am excited to try it with my ring finger, it’s so much stronger. You noticed how my pinky bends so weirdly! I can’t seem to make it stand up straight.
Thank you,

This was fun to learn. When I was a teenager (way too long ago!) I had a borrowed guitar for a short while and this was the first single-note riff I learned to play. Memories…

OK, it’s a bit cringe-worthy, but here is my video.

lbilkieParticipantWow, I am almost too embarrassed to post this. I need another month of practice!! I will keep at it, though.

lbilkieParticipantYep, I’m a newbie at this. Will get the hang of it eventually, hopefully. Thanks for your patience!

lbilkieParticipantHi, I’m Lori! First time posting. Hopefully I’ll get better at this! My timing is off, I know. I was nervous taping this.
