Yeah, you're right I'm in the video. I asked two questions and they posted the goofy one only. Mike DaSilva asked a personal question about hats. I asked about his Cher voice and he discussed other "voices" he does.

My second question was about how he works on strumming time values: of 1/4, 1/8, 1/16 and 1/32 notes and how he keeps time while alternating between these time values. I would have liked to see that response taped because I thought his answer would have been interesting to many. But, if I remember correctly it had something to do with the evil-metra-gnome that lives in the deep skooogs of northern svenska.

Get the metranome going and practice staying on beat. (There are on-line metranomes and tuners) Then shift and do two equal strums per beat. Back to one strum. Then 3 strums for a tri-pl-et (or as Colin B. Tribe uses tri-ni-ty for sensible syllable break down). Then 4 strums for 1/16's. I haven't been doing any of this during my pratice time -- thanks for reminding me Ron.

Oh, and to see the Uke Got Mail video at Mike DaSilva's studio... click the blog title above. I've got say that Aldrine Guerrero's video lessons are put together really well. I would like to thank the guy behind the camera for all of his hard work. Aldrine seems to have snuffed out my favorite character on UU, Manny the Rooster (puppet) -- I'll never forgive him for that!
