Thank you Pam. I’m thinking I may bring it to a few campfires this summer :slight_smile:

DAY 8!!!
DAAAYYUMMM

This video is marketing material for upselling Uke’s to guitar players who followed Justin’s courses :smiley:

No seriously, genuinely impressed by this sweet piece of picking/strumming hybrid swing
You sure got the feeling for this instrument!

Lol thanks Lieven

Playing and singing to Justin’s Stand By Me is almost as challenging as this one for being able to play and sing - and he calls it a beginner uke song! :slightly_smiling_face:

Well done! I can’t comment on anything specific to uke playing as I don’t know anything about it. But seeing you enjoying yourself and keeping a nice rhythm are well worth a positive and supportive comment. Play on playa!

Hi Marie!
Excellent, dynamic performance.
And the sound of your ukulele is exactly what it should be.
Thank you for sharing, I really liked it.

That was excellent Mari. I can’t believe that you are only 8 day’s in to the Uke. I liked the oldie worldie feel to your video as well.

I like the sound of the Uke.

Thanks Stefan. I actually did NOT like the sound of a uke so was really surprised that I decided I wanted one! I’m quite happy with it though. Gotta pick another jazz standard to learn now :slight_smile:

Hi Mari,

I finally got around to listening to this, and glad I did.
Wow! That’s impressive stuff for a week, even when you take in transferrable guitar skills :smiley:

What struck me the most is that you play it as an actual instrument. I never saw it as such (and still don’t as I’m not crazy about the sound), For me it’s a fun and funny noize box to accompany whatever entertainment is taking place. And it is fun!
Great start and I’m looking forward to being converted :laughing:

That’s an interesting comment, Brian. I hadn’t thought about it like that but I think that kind of sums of my prior disinterest in the uke - just a toy. I was not crazy about the sound either, but I am being converted! It is really a fun little thing to play, and will definitely be entertaining at a campfire.
