Hey everyone, I'm new to the uke and play no other instruments so here's my issue. I can play white sandy beach and do the strum d,d,u,u,d pattern and it sounds like it does on the youtube video I watched, no problem.
But when I use the tab sheets I have gotten for other songs and I play them, I can hear it but everyone else can't hear the tune in what I'm playing. This is frustrating as I thought I was doing everything right and these are pretty simple songs like, "you are my sunshine", "king of the road", "over the rainbow", etc... I'm not sure what to correct to make these sound better.
I'm playing on a Lanikai LU-21 which I got at a local music store for $80, which I don't really know if this is a good starter uke or not either. I tune it everyday with a chromatic tuner so I think everything is good there.
Any help would be greatly appriciated!
