Hi Sammy, thanks the great comment on the Glitsch. What I did was record the song on a small home studio, then filmed all the various parts along to my recording. I used windows movie maker to put it all together but being my first attempt it is a little out of synch. I'll get the hang of it in the end!!
Hi Sammy I was wondering how often you practice with your group,I would love to jam with you guys one time,I'm actallly useles but need an ascape at the moment before I lose the plot all together.I am expererincing really difficult times.I have proberbly told you about my sons wife leaving him and him getting on the wine,he has just come out of detox with great expence to our family but with great results,By the way in your message you mentioned a strum stick,if your interested I have the drawings of a brilliant one using a really using a really easy to make mould Regards Mal
Thanks for the compliment. This is the third Uke I have built. No plans or guide on the web that I know of. I just kinda did it by trial and error. I can guide you through the process and answer any questions best I can. You need some wood working tools to start and alot of sanding.
Thank you Sammy for your comment. I am glad to hear you enjoyed my little performances. Now, please pass the poi. (On second thought...maybe not...LOL) Enjoy.
This CBU is amazing ! its my first build and i cant seem to get started on a new one cause i keep picking this up to play. I made in about 3 weeks time on and off. It is a Tenor Ukulele with 17" scale and 18 frets. 1-3/4" soundhole with pine neck and poplar fretboard. Open Gear tuners from Gitty and I used my Tempo Charango strings. Bone for saddle and Nut with a custom bridge.
UJ had turned me on to that ... that is the way i posted the swing low ... couldn t get the full version on just by straight uploading from comp to cigar box ,, limits it 100 mb
Tks Sammy ,, trying to get t5his vidoing down .. I cut it off to make it fit the 1`00,b or whatrever the nations restricts too ,, if u go direct ,, gotta figure how to come in a side door so i can get songs on here ,,
Thank you Sammy for your kind and encouraging words. I guess it is like a carpenter and his hammering skills. If you do enough of it, over a long period of time, you can drive a nail in one shot. I guess it is true...practice makes perfect. I am definitely a work in progress. Enjoy.
Thanks for the friend request. I'm really looking forward to hearing more of your playing, and of course seeing more of the dogs (Oh, and your instruments too).
