Thank you so much @annemarie!

And yes I did use Matt’s tablature but just altered it slightly where the score had notes on the low G string! Either by:

1) playing it as written with the deeper G sounding ok as part of the full chord in places where it doesn’t sound dissonant (example: measure 2 Bbmaj7 chord)
2) or finding the alternate to those notes on the 3rd and 4rth string –where possible (where it makes sense with the fingering that comes before/after) in places where you actually need to hear the higher octave not to ruin the melody line (example measure 10 first half of beat 3)
3) or omitting to hit the low G string altogether in moments where it sounds bad (example measure 1, beat 2: Fadd9 chord)

Hope that makes sense!!

I couldn’t pass the occasion to learn this beautifully expressive piece (thanks @Matt! for this amazing haunting arrangement) and more so on the baritone even though it meant adapting it for low G 🙂

Performing it with the right feel is harder than it seems!

Lovely submissions everyone!
Here’s the gorgeous The Aching Waltz by Adrian Holovaty. Thanks you Adrian and RC101 for such a fun instrumental.

This was quite a challenge, more so because of the fact that I’ve chosen to play it on a low G and that a lot gets done at the very end of the fretboard while I am capoing on fret 5. I have had to change some things up to make it work especially where the hand hits the uke’s body, but I’m very happy to have picked it. Some parts still need a lot of practice/cleaning up but I am traveling, so I decided to post now.

@leb397 so sorry for your loss, beautiful tribute indeed.

Here’s my take on Red is The Rose with some adaptation for low G:

Ok wonderful, thanks @Andrew! @Brettboy that is gorgeous. Thank you for encouraging me 😉
