Well, I’m running out of time because I start another tour guide job in a few days, so here it is. I told myself I would keep trying to get a clean take until the cat moved. She must have approved of this one because she got up right at the end. There are a few timing issues and a few notes that aren’t played cleanly. I put that down to the uke being very slippery today. It felt like it was coated in butter or something. Not sure why, but I just couldn’t get a grip on it. Anyway, here it is, warts and all.
It looks like I’m first cab off the rank.
When I first found this site, I tried the October challenge with the Stranger Things Theme. I was really impressed with Hedwig’s Theme at the time and signed up for paid membership in order to learn it. Unfortunately life got in the way, so I’m still only half-way through learning Hedwig’s theme. I suppose you would call me a proficient beginner, or possibly intermediate. I like to challenge myself, but have a very unpredictable schedule and a short attention span, so it is hard to get into any sort of consistent practice regimen. I just do what I can when I can, and I’m happy with that for now.
This month, I’ll be spending a lot of time working as a tour guide, which means I’ll be away from home, and possibly with no internet for weeks at a time. What I’m going to do is spend the time when I’m at home working on Hedwig’s theme. Hopefully I’ll be able to play through it by the end of the Month. I know this is hardly a detailed plan, but it’s the best I can do right now. I hope this is okay.
Thanks. I’ll have a look to see what I cut short. I didn’t mean to suggest I was just in this for the prize. I just meant that I’m glad I don’t have to stress about being awesome. I can just relax and play and post a video and see what happens.
Hi everyone. I’m new here. I’ll be honest, the only reason I’m here is because last week I was trying to work out the Stranger Things theme and your video came up when I googled it. I still haven’t bought paid membership because I’m poor, and I think I was able to reverse engineer the tune from the free video (or maybe not. You tell me.) I’ll probably get paid membership when I have money and when I get stuck (I can see myself getting stuck very quickly when I start trying to learn Hedwig’s them). Anyway, I figured if I was learning the song anyway, then I might as well enter the draw.
This attempt at the song is far from perfect. I stumble once or twice and the pull-offs are not clean, but from what I understand, this is a random draw, rather than being based on quality, so I’ll upload it anyway.
