Hi,
This one doesn’t count since I’ve already posted, but it was such a cool arrangement that I really wanted to work on it and knew that, if I wasn’t facing sharing it, I likely wouldn’t work too hard on it.

@uku241, I used a capo too, but I have little silver removeable stick-on dots that I stick in the spots on the side of the neck to show where the dots would be if I weren’t using a capo (and they’re handy with my ukes that don’t have side dots). I bought a package of the dots at Amazon but suspect they’d be at stationery shops too.

Wow — thanks Andrew (and the gi_gi_ and potato_lady)!
I’ll take a look at that lesson and continue on those barre chords.

Thanks Andrew! It was fascinating to work on. If I were performing normally, I’d have simplified the accompaniment especially on the long high notes since it’s hard to self-accompany using complex accompaniment and still solo fluidly. However it was fun fitting in the accompaniment.

Hi,
This month I tried Nessun Dorma. It was interesting and challenging putting the whistling solo with the accompaniment —

I am a premium memberThanks, Andrew! I’ll try that. I’m usually nervous when I record but this was more than usual. I’ll definitely try your suggestion.

Hi,
I tried Let It Be this time. I don’t think I’ve ever been quite so nervous while recording as this time 🙂

I AM A PREMIUM MEMBERI know I’m posting this long after the thread was started, but I wanted to say that I’m nearsighted and have had a hard time with the tab size. However, I’ve found that I can control the size of the tab from the Tab Play Along section. I set the preferences (which includes size) the way I like it, make the tab play along sheet full screen and print that, page by page, to screen from which I can create a pdf — or simply print on my printer from there. (I find doing all this easier on the iPad)

Thanks, Stephen! The problem with the memorization wasn’t so much the chords as the different order of strings played by the right hand. I’ll keep playing this piece til I get it more memorized. Strangely, I found that, when I played more slowly I seemed to stumble more. I suspect as I get more comfortable with the piece, I’ll be able to work at different speeds more easily.
