    @drefrank Great points and it’s interesting to hear everyone’s experience. I to started changing lots of strings looking for ‘the one’.

    What I learnt was there are definitely strings which sound better than others but there are also strings which are more comfortable/easy to play.

    I’ve settled with Uke Logic strings for when I’m playing acoustically and Aldrins Aquila strings (which are amongst the cheapest you can get) when plugged in.

    😎

    @tbb WOW that’s super impressive you’ve definitely got a natural talent for arranging I’m pretty sure it’s the hardest skill to develop.

    Music theory.. I’ve sponged up a lot of music theory and went quite far down the rabbit hole… I think it’s a bit like learning a language… You learn what you need. I tried to get into a bit of Jazz (lots of theory)on the Uke and just got overwhelmed and gave up 😂 A lot of the better known Guitarists Eric Clapton, Jimmy Hendrix, Eddie Van Halen none of which could… read sheet music.. all played by ear.

    On a side note I went to the Blue Note and saw this band. They were incredible..

    Loved everything about it.. Loved the rawness of it (no Audio interfaces) just the sound of nature accompanying the acoustics of the Uke 😎😍

    P.s what brand of Uke is that it sounds lovely.

    Gracias Mis Amigas 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻 (Thank you Google translate).

    @tbb I’ve always loved Flamenco, Spanish music.. Dream job to be a Flamenco guitarist busking in the street! Missed that boat 🛶⚓️

    Thank you for the kind words and motivation 😍


    @gi_gi_
    I’m going to try and keep it in my rotation as I forget also 99% of the songs I’ve learnt. Maleguena is the only song I know from start to finish (fingerstyle). I’m going to try add a couple more to the portfolio 😂😎🙏🏻

    @aukritesp01 Thank you.. I’m slowly making my way through it.. It’s one of the tougher songs on here I think. Another member of RC101 posted an awesome version of the full tab. Just love it!

    @tbb It’s got a bit cooler over the last couple of days. I was going to get up early this morning to go surfing but It’s looking a bit chilly. Could imagine snow we pretty much have 9 months of summer here 😎

    @robinboyd The Guitarlele sounds insane your really suits your voice also.. You captured the haunting feel of TLOU (in a good way). That was so awesome!

    Beautiful arrangement played superbly 😍 I love all the bass notes played around the melody makes it sound more piano like 😎
