Lyndal, you’re too harsh on yourself. I thought it was great and by taking Drew’s advice by just moving on, you certainly hid the mistakes from this listener. BTW, what is that “ring” on the neck?
Hiya, Becky
Yes it is an insanity inducer. I bet a lot of us do this from time to time.
The song is “The One I Love Belongs To Somebody Else” probably from the 1920s. You’re right, the chords should be simple enough no jazz chords ha. But don’t get me started with old standard songs, I probably know them all. LOL. I just wrote down those few notes: d-e-d-e-d-e-d-e-g-a-b. Put it on the back burner for more free time……Just for grins, here’s the song by,to me, a most underrated Doris Day:Andrew, congrats on your first post. Nice playing.
Planet, Congrats on your 1st year anniversary. You have become a Finkenstein Monster of the uke!
Joanne, Well done.
Brett, Brilliant! And thank you in advance for my nightmare tonight.
Barbe, another great rendition.
Nice going Laura. It definitely fit the theme although I never thought of it as somber back in 1969. ha.
Lisa and Rip, I think I am getting close to recording SleepWalk still need to work on memorizing. I usually practice ad nauseum then do one take unless I freeze while trying to remember what comes next. (Please Andrew, let us have the sheet music in front of us. LOL)
Andrew, strangely I am able to stretch my pinkie to the 4th fret with some ease on bar2 of the #2 alternate ending but having more trouble getting the ring on the A string 5th fret of the 4th bar of melody B…..everyone has different flexibility or just genetic limitations.

Hey Nat, hope you see this. I posted something on facebook that I wanted you to see. Are you on Facebook? You can find me as Rickey Brown from New Orleans. You’ll recognize my picture. If not contact me by email. I’m [email protected]
Welcome Dhruv. The uke was my first instrument also when I started RockClass a little over two years ago. Good luck and stick with it. You will be amazed at your progress.
