There you have it everyone! Our winning song, by three votes, for this round of the Great Ukulele Instrumental Challenge is...
THE RAINBOW CONNECTION, by Kermit the Frog/Jason Mraz.
Reason you should participate:
1) It's fun
2) You'll like it
3) It was highly irritating to write "The Rainbow Connection" in seventeen different colors.
Quick refresher of the rules:
--There aren't any
--No singing allowed
--Okay, so there's one rule.
If somebody could post a few videos and/or whatever chords, that would be fabulous.
In the past two rounds, the challenge has lasted exactly one month, BUT, I'm going to completely abuse my founder privileges and make this round a little longer. Why, you ask? Because in the next month I have grad school applications due, a massive language test, and a trip to Sweden. So therefore...
This round of of the GUISC will start: RIGHT NOW!
This round of the GUISC will end: NOVEMBER 23RD!
Use this thread in the meantime to ask for help, make suggestions, post stupid pictures, or pick fights with people.
All jesting aside, I really encourage anyone who's thinking about it to really give it a try! Whatever you come up with doesn't have to be the be-all end-all of musical endeavors...this is just meant to be a fun exercise in arranging instrumentals and learning from others. If you can even just pick out the melody...congratulations, put it on Youtube! You have participated, and we want to see it!
Remember, multi-tracks, multi-instruments, and any and all key changes/blatant wanderings from the song are allowed. You can even reorder the rainbow if you so desire, just join in the fun!
