@katazumiri that was so lovely. Never heard it before but I was mesmerized listening to it.
Here is my cripple creek. Few notes, I ordered wrong adapter for my new microphone so still waiting on delivery. Recorded on iPad and uploaded back track all on iMovie. Next decided to use one of the first couple takes. Took stress away but want to bring it up to speed and clarity (as usual). So not where I want i, but felt Michael’s backtrack helped mask me 🤔☺️
Been a good month everybody. Nice playing.
Gosh some great entries
@lhamilton, you didn’t disappoint! Beautiful playing and still amazed by your ability to whistle like that.
@jasdel I love the slide sound! How cool that is on the ukulele. I just heard Jake Simabukuro play a song with the slide. Very nice.
@marianne so lovely. I had watched Marco Cirillo lesson and was mesmerized by the sound. So beautiful. I’ve tried using my pointer as well as middle finger with the Spanish technique and you make it look easy with your pointer. Love it.
@malku2603 I hope your thumb heals. Lovely keyboard.@nat-uke That is a HUGE help, full of good info. Especially the tap twice to start recording! Thank you Natalie. I know others will benefit. BTW you are very good at explaining on video 😊👏👏👏 Louisa
@nat-uke thank you Natalie. I’m in my comfy chair ready to practice… I’ll check it out. Much appreciated ☺️👍🎼 Louisa
@andrew having just seen Jake Shimabukuro (2nd time) I think I will enjoy the ROCKTOBER challenge. Jake jammed on We will Rock You, one of his favorites, and I love your take of Ozzy’s piece.
@nat-uke oh please do post helpful hints. Im about ready to record so it would be helpful. Also how cool to ask chatGPT! I’m not proficient in that at all. I’ll look at that software too. Others use GarageBand, I think, and I don’t have that. All depends on my deep dive I want to take ☺️🤔
How nice the couple loved it… I had no doubt.@nat-uke what a great gift and nice job! I’m so glad you are explaining a bit about the holly land mic. I received mine but haven’t experimented yet. I too want to use my iPad, iMovie so I guess I’ll have to see. It’s not easy learning a new app (at my age). It takes twice as long to absorb or figure what they assume should be obvious. Drives me crazy. Anyway, any more tips, please post. Love to hear from others like @gi_gi_ who has the mic. Louisa
@marianne oh I love that you will play that. I just watched his lesson on Andalusian cadence the other day and I recognize it from a few songs. You’ll make it sound beautiful!
@johanna2509 I love that! I’ve seen the little kalimba,s before but what a beautiful sound- like church bells. Oh moon river would be so pretty. Nice entry!
@misterbones really cool groove with all three parts. Nice entry, loved it.@otzepeng I love the little Uke statue. Kind of the man to make it for you. Your drive through the mountains to get to Islands sounds enchanting and my favorite is listening to music in the car. Look forward to your entry!
I love how we all approach our entries. So fun reading. @lhamilton really looking forward to yours. 😗😗😗@the_bumble_bard really looking forward to your entry. Can’t wait to hear your secret instrument! Oh and your “special guest” ☺️
Some get ideas this month. Love the variety
So I was inspired by @karenj and @abster Cripple Creek claw hammer. I love playing my old banjo ukulele sooo
Execution to learn Cripple Creek by Christopher Shannon
Application practice daily, as I do and try to memorize
Evaluation post a final entry, hopefully using the new microphone I just ordered. This will be part of my learning as well.Last, as a bonus, I’m learning Blue Moon and may post that. I like to practice a few songs so this is a back up. Louisa
@lhamilton look forward to your entry. Your whistling is beautiful. @robinboyd what a time you have had 😱😒 so sorry and hope you can build strength to play more.
I’ve ordered mine! Should deliver on Monday. I’ll spend the August challenge working with it. Thanks for sharing this product
Louisa@Andrew, it sounds like a well deserved break for you!
I look forward to picking another tune to work on. Maybe something slower paced. ☺️
