Fibonacci from The Outer Worlds 2 might be rather cool on ukulele.

Hi,

This month I tried Iron Man. It gave me a chance to play with the electric uke and record directly to the macbook using Garageband and its amp settings with earphones so I could hear what I was playing. Likely not the best sound ever, but it was fun to do. I’ve had a bit of trouble with my 4th finger on the left hand so I rearranged the fingering it to “baby” it til it settles down (It’s way better now).

Thanks, @marianne — it’s a beautiful piece. I shared it with a friend in hospice and he loved it.

Thanks, @The_Bumble_Bard! I’ve been a member of the international whistling community for many years and have often performed. I really enjoy arranging my own accompaniment. I’ve tried various accompaniment instruments over the years, but have found ukulele or autoharp so far the best. One thing though is that when I start learning an instrument, I fall in love with playing melody on the instrument rather than just accompaniment.

Hi,

I finished putting together an arrangement and have been working on fitting the uke and whistling parts together. I also had to learn how to record both microphone and uke pickup onto Garageband on the macbook.

Here’s my version of Una Furtiva Lagrima:

Hi,

I’m making progress with my arrangement of the accompaniment for Una Furtiva Lagrima. It works well with the whistling — a bit of a duet in places. I’ve worked out the score using Notion on my Macbook and am now making tweaks as I learn to whistle and play it.

I’ve now got a tool that will let me hook my mic for whistling and the uke connection together into the Macbook where I plan to record using Garageband once I’m ready.

Thanks @leb397! It’ll be interesting pulling together the accompaniment. I did one many years ago on harp but there are serious differences. It’s a beautiful aria!
