I know I said I was going to only post weekly, but it’s St Patrick’s Day. The Parting Glass, from an arrangement by Samantha Muir. I know this song originated in Scotland, but it has been adopted in Ireland. https://vimeo.com/1066759091

I'm total newbie and have been trying to learn this song for the project. I love your arrangement, and notice that your chords are different — are you playing this in another key? and, if so, could you please share the chords with me?

Day 9: After the Goldrush. This is Jenny Selig's arrangement. My BFF and I are playing a little gig on Tues, so we're making videos for each other to practice to. https://youtu.be/HLM7YdBTccM?si=0HtwrNPHQp9JM0NA

Karin

That's wonderful! I haven't heard that song in a long time.

Karin

Thank you for this beautiful piece of music. I have to admit, I haven't listened to a lot of classical ukulele music until now.

Karin

Thanks for sharing your experiences in the different areas of music making with us. There is a lot to learn and to think about, beyond technical issues.

Day 8 Birds of a Feather. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/q01co966vb9phlhvudc64/IMG_2608.MOV?rlkey=nesplu8ufli4q3oeh4d0cwa2f&st=4pkrppsd&dl=0

Michael Guzman

I plan to work on a new piece every week, then post a video of where I’m at with it at the end of the week. So this is my Day 8 post, Bransle de Champagne by Adrian Le Roy, using an arrangement by Samantha Muir for baritone guitar: https://vimeo.com/1063759059

Janelle Durham

My original plan for the challenge was that each day I was going to make a video which included the lyrics and the chords for the song. I've quickly learned that was too ambitious! Especially for a really long song like Barrett's Privateers, I spent more time working on the lyrics and chord notations than I spent actually playing ukulele, which is not the goal! So, I'm shifting my plan to put the focus more on the playing and less on the video making. But, for what it's worth, here's Barrett's Privateers by Stan Rogers with all the lyrics and chords marked out! https://youtu.be/AtpNrF8NvdM?t=45

Tamara Lester

I'm glad you posted. I'm a beginner, too, and only posted once on FB (before I was banished from FB!) I am inspired by the wonderful playing of those far more experienced, but remind myself that I'm practicing for "me" to see my own progress over the 100 days. I "think" I see it even after this first week. I hope you do, too.

Tamara Lester

Nice picking pattern and chords.. Watched a few times..I wish I could slow it down and watch even more closely.

I am challenging myself to play EVERY day at home….. I tried in the past to post, and it was much too stressful, so, this year I am doing my own challenge during the 100 days, and so far so good! I will be traveling a few times but will keep the count going!

Great job on riff and scratches - they add a lot of interest

Karen B

The uke your friend made sounds very nice

Karin

Welcome. "...It could be a video of just practicing strumming" would be a good start. I'm working on that too 😊

Tamara Lester

Glad to have found this link to post instead of FB. I joined FB for the 100 Days group only, and account was "Disabled" by FB with no explanation. Thanks for the info on how to upload videos. I am a beginner's beginner, so it might just be a video of simply practicing strumming. 😊. I really enjoy all your posts and find them so inspiring.

Karin

I read your description. The technique was quite complicated for me ... but the music sounds all the more relaxed. Nice to hear.

Karin

Maybe I'm wrong ... I was looking for "Welcome in another year" and found "Can't let go" (which is nice, too).

Karen B

Your strumming pattern sounds really good on your beautiful blue uke

Karin

I like the way you play and sing the song. And I like the three little heroes sitting behind you.

Day 2: Hi, just found out about the challenge today and wanted to hop in: https://youtu.be/UBhNo4XyuFg?si=i1anO5Rkl4gk0SFq A bit about me: I started playing in March 2016 but have been fairly inconsistent with my practice. I would describe myself as self taught as I’ve learned through YouTube tutorials, other online resources and books. Late last year I started going to a music performance group that meets monthly, we usually have 2 turns each at performing a song. My goals for the project: not sure. I think I want to try 100 songs but might not have time for a new one every day! I’ll have a think. Off to watch some other group members’ vids!

Mary Whaley

Nice job Karen.

I have the link (made (utube) but how do I post it

You wouldn't be able to upload it here, Maritza. You'd have to put it on YouTube as an Unlisted video, or upload it to Google Drive or Dropbox or similar, and post a link here.
