    Loving your videos and your whole calm vibe goin on there. Meditative even. Keep it up! I happen to have that same tenor - you mentioned the back strings you loved on this - can you share? I’m finding the stock strings a tad dull - but of course that could just be me blaming the tools. 😊

  • @BrigitteLaskowski
    @BrigitteLaskowski Před 2 lety +1

    I took your chord progression C, C7, F, Fm, C, G7, C and and played it all barred, mostly on the 3 fret except for the G7 which I barred on the second fret. I find it great to know and be able to play 2, 3 or more ways to play the same chord name in different positions. Using more than one C chord or any other chord or set of chords in a song can help to build a song's intensity without having to change key. Also, some chord positions lend better to switching in and out of lead parts/solos, especially when playing my solid body fully electric Flight Centurion Les Paul Style tenor ukulele. Using this extra set of chords has open a whole world of performance for me and I'm still learning the soloing part. I also took the time to learn all the notes on my fret board. I read both music notation and tablature. Reading music notation makes it easier to take a guitar solo and make it a uke solo.

    • @MrSupersidewinder
      @MrSupersidewinder Před 2 lety

      Just use a capo (or improvise one) on fret 5. It will have a low g but sounds great too. Baritone is the way to go IMO.
