Wow! Thanks @Andrew! I really enjoyed the piece. I practice while I wait for an especially picky Yorkshire Terrier to finally finish his dinner. With this music, he kept coming to lie by my feet so he could enjoy it rather than finishing his meal.

Hi,
This month I worked on the harmonic version of Amazing Grace. I had an interesting time trying to get the natural harmonics to work on the 7th fret but they finally got easier.

@uketime, what was your performance recorded on? If it was an iphone or iPad, I think I know what you can do.

Thanks @Andrew!
I found doing the harmonics with the 3rd finger pluck a bit of a challenge but, for this piece, it sounded better to me than the thumb-nail version. I loved the sound of the piece on baritone. I’ll play with the speed. For some reason, the second theme just seemed to want to move faster — maybe because it was such fun to play.

Hi,
This month I decided to work on Gymnopédie. I’d worked on it a few years ago and was wanting to try it again. As with last time I played around with some harmonics.

This month I decided to work on La Vie en Rose. I’d been wanting to learn to play it. It’s a lovely arrangement.

This month I worked on Red is the Rose — I’d been hoping it would come up as a choice soon.

I am a premium memberI bet you can do fine. A lot of players of stringed instruments avoid use of the little finger, and slide the whole hand up rather than use that finger. Chords also can be simplified rather than not be played at all. Giving up the instrument entirely seems a shame.
Of course, should you decide to play harp instead, that instrument makes no use of the baby fingers (unless you play South American folkharp). 😀

Thanks, @chantmt!
Thanks,@The_Bumble_Bard! It’s a lovely arrangement.
I’m still struggling at getting input from the voice and ukulele mics to record together onto the Mac Garageband (the controls are a bit more weird than they should be) but I managed to get it to work. I’m finding syncing the video and audio much easier than it was when I first started using Garageband and iMovie.
