I remembered watching a youtube of JDARKS who makes a lot of Grateful Dead Tabs and he can play a bit like Jerry Garcia and wondered what it was that made Jerry special.
Well according to JDarks it was that he had a song in his heart. A song is a melody.
So I was looking at that Gotaukulele site and realized... these nursery rhymes do pretty much suck for chording and I would never want to learn uke playing " Mary Had a little lamb"... but then realized... right, the chords are way easy anyways... for me now anyway... but what is it that distinguishes and how to you really let the instrument become your voice?
Well I figured the nursery rhymes would be good to learn for the melodies. Just learning to play them without reading... and then learning the melodies of all sorts of songs. I think this would somehow make the instrument more my voice.
Don't know if this has become a topic at all. Anyone have any insight into this or find it makes sense?
