☀️ HELPFUL TIPS ☀️
Learn a beautiful fingerstyle piece inspired by the spirit of aloha. Last year, I found myself in Hawaii for a week. It was my second visit to the islands, but my first as an adult. To say I was blown away by the natural beauty would be an understatement!
But what I wasn’t expecting was to be taken aback by the kindness and warmth of the Hawaiian people. Their friendliness left a lasting impression, which inspired this composition. While my time there was short, the memories will last a lifetime.
Note: This song ends with harmonics being played on the 7th fret. If you need help with this te...

    As well as the ukulele being accessible the uke community, at all levels seems so friendly and accepting. To get personal replies to questions from top flight players (James Hill and Victoria Vox for example) is amazing. Couldn't imagine a similar situation in the classical guitar world. So many people give their time to help and advise either free or for not very much (around a tenner a month for most sites) is just great.

    Great discussion. Some lovely stories. I played the classical guitar for around 40 years and flack picked a steel string for several more. Found rock class 101 on the Web and was inspired to buy a uke about 18 months ago. So accessible. Never had so much fun with music . Selling my mandolin and one of my guitars to finance my uke habit.

  • @angelscomputers

    I think you nailed. I’m from a family of musicians and my entire life I’ve been around guitars but tried 3 different times and can’t get it. Never made a full song. At my 47’s now it came across with an Uke and the first I thought was “this is a toy from Hawaii”, 3 months in to it and so far I have 5 songs I can play and I’m enjoying it a lot. It suuuuper easy IMO. My guitars are decorating the walls on my house waiting for me to have time to list them for sale. So far tried soprano, concert and I’m stuck now with tenor. When I grow up I want to be like you. It’s sooooo much that can be done on an Uke and not just what my ignorance saw at the beginning (the Hawaiian toy) that it’s crazy.

    Very lovely tune indeed! It has the same fingerpicking pattern as Etude No. 5 which is my favorite RC101 etude. I may have missed if that was mentioned. The pattern just sounds different on low G, obvs. 😊 I just wanted to say really quick about the "red light approach" to ending the tune. Another way you could end the tune is the "yellow light approach" which is when you speed up crazy fast to make it through the yellow light last second before it turns red - but imagine applying that to playing this tune. 😂 I'm cry laughing about that... 😂😅😂 Definitely not recommending anyone do that while actually driving, of course... Cough... 😳 Thank you for your great lessons! 😊

    You have a lot of tips I haven't seen elsewhere. I'm really SO happy to know about stretching the finger reach with regular practice! I can't reach more than three frets. I'll try turning my index to the side as you suggest and keep trying daily. Do you have any tips on reaching the pinky up to the G string? Impossible for me. I do drop my wrist down so my fingers can curl up over the strings. Also, why is it so hard to keep the first knuckle bent so the fingertip stays perpendicular to the string? Amazing how well Bernadette and Cynthia Lin can do it. With all my difficulties, it's weird that I keep trying to learn this instrument. Thanks for posting this great video!

    • @RockClass101
      @RockClass101 10 дней назад

      Check out these 3 exercises for help with increasing left hand reach, specifically with the pinky: rockclass101.com/increasing-left-hand-reach-ukulele/ Try to include them as part of your warmup routine and please note that it takes awhile until you start to see a difference. "Also, why is it so hard to keep the first knuckle bent so the fingertip stays perpendicular to the string?" Sounds like you are talking about barring. If so, you might have gotten use to bending that knuckle. Try to make a conscious effort to correct it. This lesson covers proper left hand form for barring and fretting notes/chords: rockclass101.com/proper-left-hand-ukulele-form/

      @@RockClass101 - Thank you for the stretch exercises. I definitely need to do these. Not good at reading tabs yet, but I can figure it out. (By the way, I meant to say I can't stretch more than four frets.) As for the knuckle, I guess I have my knuckle numbers mixed up. I meant the knuckle closest to the tip, but I need help with barring chords, too, so the link you provided will help me with that. I'll also share that with a friend who is unable to bar.

Being able to sustain a wide range of finger-plucked notes, due to the high G, is a huge plus. And those camera focus/transitions! <3
