Thanks, @Stephen! I’m finding the U-Bass fascinating. The circle of fifths built into the tuning so beautifully! I bought a Journeyman Acoustic-Electric U-Bass and a small bass amp and love the tone. I’d always been curious about bass playing and how it was done. I’m working through Sokolow’s Bass Ukulele Method at the moment and applying what I’m learning to accompanying simple music soundtracks in various keys that I have.

Thanks, Stephen! It’s a lovely piece and I’ll keep with it. I probably didn’t spend as much time with it as I should have this month — a U-bass arrived early in the month, and I’m having fun getting to know it a bit.

Here is how it works. The second strap I don’t force around the strap pin at the top of the body since two straps are usually too much for the pin. Instead I use a bit of cording below the first strap attached to the head pin.

@The_Bumble_Bard, I did a bit of looking through the Internet about straps for guitars and ukuleles and what might work best for females since we’re built differently from guys and often have trouble with holding stringed instruments securely and comfortably.Based on what I found, I’ve double-strapped some of my ukes, attaching one strap from the headstock to the end of the body, and one from the bottom to the top of the body. I attach the two straps loosely together using bits of cord to prevent them tangling. I’ve found this arrangement works well for my Flight electric uke.

Hi,
I decided to also try Smash the Windows. I really enjoy the technique and this arrangement.

Thanks @leb397 and @The_Bumble_Bard!
Hi,
This month I worked on Danny Boy. To get better into my range I used a capo. I made a few small changes to the accompaniment toward the end.
