Something

Ukesista · Jun 13, 2008

This one is not as smooth playing as the others, it's more difficult and my strings felt like they were sticking to my fingers. I need more practice with this one, and I also think I am a bit limited with my fairly cheap uke and perhaps a more expensive one would be easier to play. When I get further up the neck the bar chords are really hard to get the notes to resonate.

Anyway hope you enjoy watching and listening

It sounds good to me! If your strings feel sticky it means you've been practicing. Get some Fingerease or Fast Fret string lube. It'll make your uke play like butter. And always wipe your uke with a clean cloth:rock:

just one of the many songs where you have to play it several times to get it perfect but yours is close to.. Fred Can play it quite well IMO

Very nice Ukesista! and congrats on the UU member vid of the week!

Great job. I give all you guys credit for picking and strumming. I, for the life of me, cant get it. I rather just strum and sing. Again, great job. I wish I could get even a bit close to that.

Sounds good to me! One of these days, I too am going to get beyond just strumming chords

Thanks Tokyo, I always wipe my uke, I think recording myself makes me feel nervous and my fingers feel clumsy. Didn't know about the fingergrease so thanks for that great tip.
