@grannieannie that’s a great story about your sister having a banjo ukulele that you had limited access too.😊 reminds of my older sisters record collection and it was usually “hands off” 😁
I love the banjo and folk music in general so it’s the closest I’ll get to creating that sound.
Once again @the_bumble_bard Merry Christmas friend. Look forward to more sharing in 2025!Great entries for FELIZ NAVIDAD. so impressed. It really was a tough one to tackle… maybe I’ll try it sometime. @marianne sold me on Oh Come All Ye, early on so stuck with that.
Good luck everyone 🎄👍🎼🕎@abster. Always enjoyable to watch you and your sister has a lovely voice! FELIZ NAVIDAD to you and your family
Wow @the_bumble_bard thank you for the encouragement and positive vibes !
So fun to listen to the entries and let this community know how great they are. After being a member for five years (pretty sure) we’ve gotten to know so many and see improvement. You have really expanded your range. I like your free-style. I don’t feel as comfortable but trying … hence my bonus track 😁
Have an amazing holiday music penpal 🎄🎼🎼🎁
@bomarkt love chopsticks… ok… now we need to know where on a boat 🤔. Sounds like a song to me ☺️@andrew thank you! Think I have long road ahead on the banjoUke but it sure is fun.
@willw18 Loved your rendition!
I AM A PREMIUM MEMBER
Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays to everyone!
I chose O Come All Ye Faithful, as well. It’s tricky using only your thumb – I agree what @clempek said. Making it sound and flow isn’t easy. Nicely played Clem.I put a bonus piece on the end – just for fun and playing around with my 100 yr. old banjo Uke. I attempted claw hammer but it wasn’t any better than what I did do 😁
Thank you Andrew and all the team. So much fun to really challenge myself each month with a great selections of music. THIS GROUP ROCKS!
I donated $20 to the Kids Uke group. Hope they can purchase tons of equipment for the kids.
@misterbones, love it. I have tried it on my banjo Uke as well but didn’t think it flowed well enough. Good explanation to @the_bumble_bard and love your transition up neck… made it sound smooth. Thumbs up. 👏👍
@TBB You too almost have it!
@morrieuke1 nicely played. Such a great song.@andrew thank you. I believe we are saying same thing -open 4th string moves to 3rd fret string 2 (E)
#2 question I’ll try ignoring the 4th (G) string, 5th bar.Always appreciate you support. Louisa
@andrew Question I am working on Come All Ye Faithful and using my low g tenor. I’ve changed the single open “c”/G string to the E string 3rd fret, as you mentioned in a post this month. Question is the Am7 in the 5th bar doesn’t sound quite right open on c&g. Do you play the cords with open g&c as written for low G?
Hopefully that is explained correctly. Louisa@the_bumble_bard love it. I was playing around with same pattern. Sounds so good. Great entry and your infectious laugh makes me smile ☺️. Have a wonderful holiday friend 🎼
@marianne such emotion ❤️👏❤️👏
@emiliano lovely! How exciting you will finally get your prize. Can’t wait to hear future challenges.
@Maryjanew you have really improved. I’ve been watching everyone’s and nicely done. Love your enthusiasm.
Time to practice. Short month! LouisaGreat selection @andrew! Also a super opportunity to support the Ukulele Kids Club. Happy holidays and strumming friends.
PS short month for entries…@anya09 I see it now. Nice entry!
@anya09 not sure why but I don’t see you sound cloud entry
@Andrew, thank you the the kind words. I went back and watched my entry of two years ago and was pleased it actually showed improvement! 😁. Thanks again.
@the_bumble_bard thank you for the comments and kudos. I have been doing more with clawhammer and hope to tackle a new song.
@gi_gi_ hope you get your entry in. I often make a quick comment when a challenge opens just so I can click the box and get notified when everyone enters. I’m sure you do the same. Hope you get your entry in.
@marianne – love that #26 so beautiful on the baritone. @karenj – you played flawlessly and always like your connection with the camera…
@lhamilton I have IMovie too and tried, on previous entry, to combine the audio and video – struggled because I didn’t have a mac but only the ipad. Good luck. you did a nice job on both parts. Anxious to hear what you use next.
@grannieannie the challenges are always a struggle for me. Old fingers don’t connect with my brain. I practice A LOT and find it just takes more time. I will pick a piece that I like and then say “WHY”, because it’s difficult – But it motivates me. Good luck with #17 and have great holiday.
See you all again in December! Louisa
PS – many more need positive comments but PLEASE KNOW this group rocks. Everyone is so good.
