marcg, thanks for chiming in. As to
What are you looking to improve on?
I really just want to be a jack of all trades type of player. I guess in my private lesson, I want Aldrine to say if he sees any obvious flaws in technique. For example, when I used to play Travis style picking with my guitar I used 3 fingers and a thumb, but with my uke I have gravitated to using a my thumb and index finger. Is that bad, good, indifferent? I’m wondering if I should focus more on 2 fingers and a thumb for smoothness, but then again, a lot of uke players pick primarily with their thumbs. So I’m really just looking for any obvious flaws that he sees.
I’m also working on a Jake song, but it’s not ready for publication yet, and I’m working on a chord melody version of Power of the Cross by Keith Getty.
End of the day, I’d like to be a jack of all trades player, who can strum and sing fun stuff, play instrumentals, play chord melodies, do whatever I want on the uke. My long term interests are learning more about playing improv after my knowledge of scales and chord theory catch up. Again, thanks for chiming in, and I’ll see you around.
