@gi_gi thank you. I chuckle at your remark traveling with Uke… I have too and so many ask violin? Ha I think and also mandolin… I only wish. Keep them guessing. @TBB you are brave and more confident (than you think) to bring it to family and friends 😊 I bet they love it 👏
I’ll continue practicing claw hammer. Finished the course but just couldn’t get through BMUTWtree. Have a beautiful weekend everyone 😊🌈🎼🦄Oh my @gi_gi_ that truly was beautiful. So few completed the vocal and I loved it. Nicely performed considering you were a “last min” entry 😆
@akukes73 thank you for responding. It’s a beautiful tenor. 👏👏
@bibilele that’s one steady husband on the board with you 😳😁
@dianna I agree turning more songs into claw hammer. @the_bumble_bard I’d love to see your process of transitioning into claw hammer or maybe Andrew has a course. Matt addressed it a bit when his lesson discussed changing up a song based on you @TBB with drunken sailor.
I like the Sept choices with mini lessons. Memorizing a 2+ min song isn’t easy… lots of hour’s practicing. Happy September 🎼🎼🎼🎼
And thanks again @andrew for creating this platform, especially for the chatting people 😆Wanted to give extra kudos to a few but EVERYONE was so good. Those that challenged the claw hammer WOW! @misterbones I look forward to your entries and amazed how quickly you got this. I started but knew I’d never get in a month. @abster crazy how well you and your sister performed. @karenj nice shirt and great take, @dianna too!
@Leslie’s barre cord were perfect! Andrew pointed out my need to work on them too. @bibilele impressive on a paddle board. How in the world you recorded a great take 😱. @akukes73 what a pretty tone to your Uke. Is it a tenor, what brand?
@nat-uke nice to see 1st timer. I struggled so much to record and try to perform. Still do but we all had to start. Nice entry.
@the_bumble_bard loved your Fields. Very smooth, and enjoy when you show YOUR/OUR struggle when you played claw hammer. I thought you were getting it! I tried but up for Aug, I’ll have to go back because I love banjo and the bum ditty rhythm 👏😁 good luck everyone , LouisaTHIS IS A SECOND ENTRY
I had to get on the Cielito Lindo train… so many great entries that I saw, I had to try it. I can’t sing and don’t know Spanish – but I can hummmmmm . Tried to work on the barr cords as @andrew recommended last month. My video didn’t catch my best but wanted to get this posted. A first for (hum/sing) while playing/recording… THAT’s a whole different bag!!! Also 2.5 min is long. I really wanted to speed up the second half – vocal but after reading what @Andrew said or discussed with @katazumiri (excellent btw), decided to keep slower rhythm throughout.
So many Kudo’s deserved to entrants. I’ll post after.Here’s Cielito Lindo
@brettboy YOU MAKE ME 😁👏👏👏👏 what a fun ending. Nice singing.
@rebeca thank you and @the_bumble_bard too, for kind words. (Ditto on the terror 😫)
So glad I found RC few years ago. Playing gives me great pleasure and it’s just for me. Most of my family has never heard me play. This is a wonderful, positive group.
@shmu88 and @morrieuke1 well played! @ccwuke lovely Fields 😊@Andrew thank you. I’m my worst critic so I always appreciate your encouragement. 😁 Louisa
My Heart will Go On is a lovely piece. I thinking playing slow is as hard as playing a more upbeat song. Especially after a villion recordings at 2+ mins. (argh!)
The song choices this month are all so great I want to learn all of them. I’ve fallen in love with Cielito Lindo and the entries. Kudos to all. I hope to do more with the claw hammer but it is more of a struggle.
This is what I’ve got…@lhamilton that was beautiful. I remember a previous entry you performed whistling and was so taken by it. Lovely playing and singing like a songbird 😊👏. Good luck with move…
@the_bumble_bard
Hello friendio! I agree, a beautiful classical piece. Love your consistency in picking. That is difficult and you have mastered it. Great showcase 😁👍👏🦄@the_bumble_bard yes, I depend on the play-along feature and always work up speed so the vocal is an issue for me. Ditto of me singing 😆
Enjoy. Had a great rainy practice day👏
@dianna 😃 so true Rocky was actually hugging @jbmills07
Yes @TBB I’m struggling listening over and over with vocal. Wish we had option to mute while learning because at 50% it sounds reeeeeeeellllly bad. Making me want to 😫.
We shall overcome… well it’s a good start at least@jbmills07 agree with TBB. Great feeling. Isn’t it the way that you had just purchased the Kanela’e. Exciting you chose the custom prize. Can’t wait to hear you play. I’ve Been working on My Heart… too and sustain isn’t easy.
@the_bumble_bard you crack me up 😂 I’m trying Beneath the willow at same time as My Heart… probably need to focus more 😳. Anxious to hear what you play. Already some great entries this early in the month! That bum ditty isn’t easy with cord changes!@deadbuggy ARGH! Awful you broke wrist. Your folksy blues rendition says it all😁 well done. Heal quickly. Louisa
