Thanks Andrew. Good pick up on those extra notes. Not sure how they got in there.
Re the harmonic tap – I’m still only managing it about 25% of the time, so I wasn’t too stressed about whether it worked or not in that recording.
There’s no way I’m going to manage the solo of Moondance by the end of the month, but I’ll have a go at the rest of it.
Unfortunately, my healing was not smooth, so it still hurts to hold a ukulele and I haven’t been able to practice much. This is the best I could do.
@gi_gi_ – You’re not the only one to have noticed a pattern. It turns out I have osteoporosis.
OK. I’m going to be really boring and work on something that I already have memorised. My goal is to get it close to where it was last year. My challenge is that I broke my right arm a few months ago, so I haven’t even been able to hold a uke, let along practice for a long time.
Here is a video of me playing the piece I will work on a few years ago.
In addition to what Andrew suggested, it could also be that you have high action and/or high string tension on your uke. Have you tried playing other ukes to see if they are any better?
Thanks Andrew.
That’s actually what I was in the process of doing (starting slow and speeding up with a focus on that section), but I just ran out of time.
