Well hey, there's always spring!<br /><br />Thanks for all your wonderful uke posts. I can't wait to try these scale exercises -- as it's something I never quite got before, but this looks like it might work.<br /><br />best,<br /><br />JeanJean Venguahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14990353277614965698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2187923003123801643.post-30977995752718732912010-01-17T09:52:11.099-08:002010-01-17T09:52:11.099-08:00Hello Jean:

Since I have enjoyed so many trips to Santa Cruz and met many good new friends I wonder if we have crossed paths?<br /><br />I played at one Garden Song event back in September '09 (I think) with the Uklectics. I have also kayaked down in the Elkhorn Slough with Jay Holiday.<br /><br />To Answer your question about Bajan Pied Piper's comment, yes you are exactly correct. Get your recording device out and perhaps a real quiet, but "evil" metro-gnome and strum for five minutes or so. You will be creating your own backing track.<br /><br />I went to Bob Brozman's workshops and he suggested the very same thing in regards to developing an ear for double stops (harmonic 3rd's). But I think it works in general. It helps develop the feel for being musical with others and allows an experimental workplace for you to play in.<br /><br />Jeff / HUHumbleUkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01856459353622319763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2187923003123801643.post-50227617701485334562010-01-16T11:42:38.252-08:002010-01-16T11:42:38.252-08:00P.S.

Do you mean, record yourself playing the C chord, so that you can play over it while listening?<br /><br />thanks<br /><br />Jean<br />http://localnomad.wordpress.com (formerly Okir)Jean Venguahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14990353277614965698noreply@blogger.com
