mark1256ParticipantThanks @Andrew. I guess I was more concerned with achieving tempo than clarity. I’ll keep at it.

Stranger Things. I chose this because my finger picking is relatively slow and I wanted a chance to improve it. I thing this worked. I’m almost up to tempo.

Thanks @the_bumble_bardSeptember 4, 2022 at 7:05 pm in reply to: Participate in the September 2022 Member Challenge: WIN Pineapple Ukulele! #53512
mark1256ParticipantThanks @Steven. What a great arrangement. As soon as I heard it, I knew I had to learn it.

mark1256Participant@jbmills07 thank you. It is possibly my favorite song that I’ve learned.
@andrew thanks. It was fun. I wasn’t sure about slowing it down but it felt much more comfortable to me.September 1, 2022 at 4:35 pm in reply to: Participate in the September 2022 Member Challenge: WIN Pineapple Ukulele! #53480
mark1256ParticipantI admit I had a head start. I love the arrangement of In the Summertime and I was hoping it would be in the September challenge. I made a couple adjustments for my low G, added a metronome and slowed it a bit to 120.

mark1256ParticipantThanks @Andrew for the detailed feedback. I noticed both the timing issue and the lack of emphasis myself. It’s difficult to play the entire song without issues and after several attempts this was my best recording. I have found that the longer I work at it, the more i fall apart lol. Thanks also for providing the easier chords. I really enjoy play this one.

I wanted to do Crazy but it’s not a key for me. Here is Stairway to Heaven. I made a few changes for my low G ukulele. Got a number of mistakes but it’s the best recording I’m going to get.

mark1256ParticipantThanks for the advice Andrew. I think I do pretty good on each section but when I try to put them together I fall apart. My memory isn’t what it used to be. Clarity and timing is also much better until the camera goes on, then nerves take over. I’ll keep working on it until a new song gets my attention lol.

Habanera
Over my head again. Every time I turn the camera on I freeze up. With the camera off, I don’t do too bad at about 80% of the suggested tempo. I’ve probably attempted to record 100 times but it’s not going to get any better than this lol.

mark1256ParticipantThis is my second post this month. Really like all the Beatle songs. There’s a few rough spots. My internet is going to be limited for a while so I wanted to post this while I can. Tried to video the birds while I was playing but they wouldn’t cooperate. Came back as soon as I finished recording.
By the way, I’m a little embarrassed to post this after listening to Nathalie’s fantastic performance.

Worked most of the month on Fifth of Beethoven. I guess it’s just a little too much, so Here is Waltz in C.

mark1256ParticipantHere’s my try at The Godfather love theme. As usual, I couldn’t get a recording that I’m happy with but I’ll keep trying.
