Practiced ‘Love song’ strumming pattern and the cords in order. Continue with this and try the fingerpicking.
Also played Heaven and I want to try singing with this song next time, just like Another Day in Paradise.

Some things to work on:

– Difference picking and fingerpicking? And why do we angor with more fingers with picking? (Check week 5 uke 101)
– How to hold the uke steady while switching cordsSee if I can get a private lesson to cover some of the things I am struggeling with in learning songs and writing these down.

Realized I can also play bob marley no woman nc cry and practiced love song. Can play it almost entirely! Tomorrow practicing Good Riddince and recapping love song. Maybe also progress to the next lesson of uke 101. I should also work on the next grip before learning new songs with barre cords and such.October 12, 2020 at 5:11 am #27347Lukas van Paridon

Woohoo! Can play and Sing Along with Island in the Sun by Weezer. Also did some improvisation with strumming and noticed my Rhytm and foot tapping. 1/2 notes and everything goes really well, I just gotta let go and follow the groove then everything finds its way!
So next time also play lovesong and try singing with it. Perhaps first sing along, then play along and then sing and play along. Good riddince is also next up. Once I got these downs I feel like moving on my homework of uke101 and start with the next lesson.
Also, I want to include the ‘letting go, just having fun vibe’ in my practice sessions. Probably something like:
– play/sing along with a song and/or improvise, create something my own or just play whatever
– learn and practice a technique, new song, picking/strumming pattern, whatever
– improve a technique/song that I already know, but work on speed/fluency/form
– finish with a song/having fun-

Picked up my practice again, feels good.
Currently my focus is on:
– Allowing music to flow gently, relaxed and from the heart
– Finding balance betwee working on techniques/improving and flowingI will continue learnign the songs I am learning and uke 101 recap. Also make the homework from the last time and see if I can be creative with my fingerpicking/playing along with my recording.
When got all this down I will just spend some time recapping things, having fun and orienting myself toward a new goal.
