Forgive me UU for I have sang. It’s been almost a month since my last post. I’ve been traveling a lot and now we’re in the holidays. The good new is that my Uke travels with me and my dexterity has gotten better and better.

I think I’m down for a Tom Petty song and a Classic picking song on 12/27 open Mic.

Multi fingering has open up all sorts of chord shapes for me that I had no clue how to do before.

I need to check in to see if there is an easier way to make Fm and pinky muting still eludes me.

A word of encouragement to those reading this far into my practice log. Months ago when I joined UU a few intermediate songs I wanted to try eluded me. I now find myself being able to mechanically execute these songs and am not intimidated by them. Just a little practice and I could play them through with confidence.

Hang in there! I improve slightly each month. You will too.

Try this one if your new: https://ukuleleunderground.com/2017/02/uke-lesson-110-tonight-you-belong-to-me-steve-martin-from-the-jerk/

Come back in 6 months and try it again.

At this time, less than a year a UU, I’m willing to say I’m a solid intermediate player. I play 1-2 hours 6 days a week without fail. I’m willing to post at least once weekly if anyone is interested.

I picked up a Guitar today for the first time in almost 35 years. After noodling around with it for 30 minutes it was surprising to me how much came back once I figured out the lower 3 strings. A fret board iis a fret board right?

Hi Bonnie,

Please introduce yourself to UU. You will learn so very much here!

Following Brandon’s lead and posting since I’m not available for Open Mic

And I Love Her – What a fun one to play! Found myself bobbing my head and singing along! I hope you’ll post more!

Practicing Edelweiss and La Vie En Rose. Hope to post video soon.

I already wanna listen to edelweiss 🙂

Wow! I am a new uuplus member & really enjoyed reading through your practice logs. Particularly about your trip to Ireland, how fun!

Just when I was getting comfortable I joined a local ukulele group. Within the group is a 70+ year old Hawaiian player with a low G tuning. Upon his encouragement I switch to a low G.

Wow!!!!!!!

The extra few deeper notes changes a lot. Do I like it? Not sure???? Some songs (playing chords) sound awesome with the low G while others sound awful.

My new Hawaiian friend is not only encouraging me to play scales but is requesting that I recite the letters as I play scales so that I can improve. He is also requesting that I play chords below the fourth fret. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! mind blown
