Hey Guys,
I just had to relate to you a dishearteningly funny story. I just came back from my next door neighbor’s. I asked them to listen to Walking Dead, but I didn’t tell them the name. I wanted feedback on how they were feeling while listening. I changed up the tempo quite a bit. So while I was playing their little 6 year old boy said it sounded like a western, then half way through he said it sounded horror (yea!). His dad said western and his mom said it sounded like “Starry, Starry, Night”. Woe is me. ha.
hafeez and others:I think you had better edit your performance post to include your premium member status. I copied Andrew’s instructions below:
YOU MUST WRITE “I AM A PREMIUM MEMBER” ON YOUR PERFORMANCE SUBMITTAL POST. Please write this phrase in its own line. For example:
I AM A PREMIUM MEMBER
Brett, What scary fun! And an eye-patched muppet? LOL Ask Andrew if he would give you a page devoted to video editing. Teach us all!
My $50 Mitchell soprano sounds good to me. But this is my first musical instrument ever. How do I know when I am ready to upgrade?
Should my next step be a tenor, concert or stick with a soprano?
Lisa, just finished an hour of practice. I think I’ve figured out a way that I can do this. I’m going to first position the ring and pinky, pick those two notes, then pick up and use the index and middle fingers on the next three notes then repeat. No lyrics this month and you’ll see why when I post. ha.
Lisa and Hafeez
I too am having trouble with that chord transition and that Abm fingering. Pinkie is not coming straight down on the string (i.e. it’s lying sideways) resulting in unintentional muting of the A string. Also the strength of my ring and pinkie is weak with that stretch. So I’ll also be a last minute entry. Andrew did say it was a finger frenzy (and he has long flexible fingers) Well, it is called a Challenge.
Loved “The Sunny Side of The Street”.
Where do you find these type of festival schedules? I’m in New Orleans but I don’t read entertainment schedules much (ha, not at all).
