Thanks, Andrew! I’m hoping to take time to go through the information here on recording before long 🙂
I found it interesting that it’s possible to have stage fright when recording.

Hi,
I managed to record and upload to Youtube from my iPad. Not the best recording values but it was interesting. Here is my attempt at Cornbread and Butterbeans.

Hi,
I know it’s not a great video or playing :-). The first is a rough version of a “vertical” vibrato. It’s closer to what I’ve used on violin, but I know it has less noticeable effect on ukulele. In the second runthrough I’m trying the sideways vibrato. I think perhaps for the E string it’s not too bad as a start though I’d need to work not to make it too wide — but for the A string, it leaves a lot to be desired.

Yes — I worked on that tutorial and have been finding the sideway vibrato difficult especially for the A string. It seems that if it must be sideways, it is more of a push on the A string upward toward the G and on the other strings downward toward the A, but I could be wrong.
I find it really hard to do a sideways (G to A) vibrato but will keep at it. I’m used to a more vertical style (pegs to soundhole) that I use on violin. When I looked at the tutorial on Red is the Rose, it looked like the vibrato was vertical rather than sideways. For the sideways version, is the finger essentially rocking back and forth?
Thanks.
