I was getting so frustrated trying to figure out how to play Jake's Piano Forte because I can't play the notes due to short fingers or lack of stretching. I only play this song with my concert uke but it sounds so much better on the tenor. A few minutes ago, the internal light bulb went off and I played the notes for the 3rd string on the 4th string!!!! I wouldn't have been able to do that with a High G string.
For those who know the song, I can't play the 4 (3rd) -8 (2nd) -12 (1st) fret pattern and the 1 (3rd) - 6 (2nd) - 8 (1st). I was watching Aldrine finger exercise and amazed how far he stretches his fingers!!
I was so happy, I had to share w/ the uke community. I know many of you would have figured it out quickly but being a new uke player, I just copy what I see in Youtube. I feel I made HUGE progress today. Gotta go back to the tenor uke and practice some more.
