Record...Recording sucks but it's very helpful. Recordings don't lie.<br /><br />For basic but high quality sound I really do recomment getting a samson go mic. I bought one of these some years back for a skype mic but testing it against other mics it really does hold its own for low end studio work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4724767841739249964.post-42901897589600294752015-04-23T04:35:00.002+01:002015-04-23T04:35:00.002+01:00Good article Barry.

Checking your tuning and checking your tuning before you start a tune - a simple (My Dog has Fleas often suffices), is something all musicians should do regardless of instrument or skill experience level. In Choosing songs to learn as a beginner I would amplify your suggestions to include songs you learned from your grand parents or at camp. These are songs most everybody know. One final suggestion: If you sing and play together, (and you should), keep the uke accompaniment simple. Simplify the chords if you must. If you wish to play a "fancy" melody line, take an instrumental break and do so. trying to sing and play melody at the same time is very very difficult.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03780612507872052801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4724767841739249964.post-49077935797701121262015-04-20T08:27:33.819+01:002015-04-20T08:27:33.819+01:00Depends on the player and how much play.

If you think about it most people know the lyrics, the melody and the tempo with their eyes closed. That leaves you totally free to concentrate on the ukulele playing! But any well known simple songs will do.Barry Mazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15731777711884288947noreply@blogger.com
