I AM A PREMIUM MEMBER.
Here is my Greensleeves. I initially read the instructions wrong, and thought you had to sing all the options. So, I am posting like I practiced – I used a capo to sing it better.
Thanks all. I guess I still here Twang and Warble (c)2019 🙂
Maybe it is me, it just doesn’t sound at all like I hear in person.Lisa, I had also tried a cheap microphone, but it didn’t help, actually made it worse.

Here is my November Challenge: “I Can’t Help Falling in Love”
Recording question – I recorded with an iphone 7 – no additional mic, using Garage Band. I tried to turn off the filters, tuning, etc, but it still sounds really weird – not at all like in person. Any thoughts of a cheap way to record better?

And my costume is that of a pumpkin, which I turn into any time a recording instrument is turned on. 🙁
Here is my Sound of Silence.
I have a weird question – the thumb knuckle tapping set off arthritis (which I never had before) in my thumb. Is there some alternative to knocking with the thumb knuckle, in songs list Battle Hymn? Thanks.
@Trmzbg yes, I also thought the allegro was easier!
Andrew – I am recording with garageband on an old ipad mini. I also heard the wavering notes – so tried to record using my cheap headphones with attached mic. That did not help. not sure how else to record well and cheaply.
It’s a shame, because i have the use of a very nice uke for the last week which sounds gorgeous in real life.
My attempt at allegro. Hard to keep it to 120, as it seems easier to go too fast! Also difficult to get wide range of dynamics with a uke, I am finding, but working on it.
Thanks Andrew, I will certainly work on that.
I have a cheap uke, and this week just changed my soft, original strings to Aquila – they are much tighter and twangier than I am used to. I might be overcompensating for this – I will try to work on the attack!Hi Andrew, I’m a new member this month and I like the lessons so far! Here is my attempt.
I know there are some issues with a bit of rushing and a few mistakes, but I have 2 main issues. One is in the 3rd measure of melody B, when I lift off the d to go up the neck, the open c sounds. The second is I can’t get much sound from my slide, whether I apply a lot or a little pressure, or go fast or slow. Is there a trick to this?
Thanks!
