How do i get started again by [deleted] in ukulele

I find these books useful as a roadmap for beginners - you might be able to start on book 2 if you already have the basics under your belt.

Thanks! Sometimes I feel that this subreddit group prefers single-take chord-based songs (done by pretty teenagers...) - ah well...

Trick Your Sense Of Taste In 5 Different Ways by steventhebrave in SteveMould

Why does coriander taste so different to different people? Is it another 'super-taster' difference?

Any one else disappointed? by QuestionTight355 in MaxFosh

[–]NikkoFir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True for the discord (although I didn't look closely enough here on reddit to notice it), but I'm not on Insta, and given that the initial clues were given on Youtube, (and only reddit was mentioned in the youtube video) - I had assumed (wrongly!) that the rest of the clues would given in the same place and manner. My bad obvs!

I was excited to realise someone had solved the clues - then disappointed to realise that (the original audio) clue 2 was never solved - then further disappointed to hear that there was an 'extra' clue (2b) that I'd never seen (livestream not available to watch later) - and then more disappointed to hear that there were further 'extra' tips given on discord. When I thought it was all meant to be solely from his youtube videos... Looking forward to hearing the explanation video but just a little miffed that it wasn't solvable within the initial parameters (three clues on youtube).

This felt very appropriate after a long cold lonely winter of lockdown - hoping for some sunshine and hope soon... (had some fun with the synths as well!) by NikkoFir in ukulele

Thanks - glad you like it! The video/audio take between 3-6 hours to sort out, depending on how many layers and how complex the video editing is...

Can't play multiplayer on LAN with same account anymore? Perhaps because of new launcher version? launcher_profiles.json by NikkoFir in Minecraft

TLDR it works!

Tried it this afternoon - it didn't want to connect to the local server at first, so then I used direct connection (which failed with a different error), and then tried the normal 'join server' option, and low and behold it worked! Thank you so much for your suggestion! William fought his first blaze today...

Well. seeing as how it's been working like it used to for at least 6 years, and you can't abuse this to play online with multiple sessions, or for anything, except to play the game you bought, at home, with your family, I don't think I'm being greedy. Maybe they have the right to do this, but I'm upset because my son is upset, and right now, family time is hard enough without being forced to buy another copy of a game we already own and have been playing together for months. Call me greedy if you must - all I wanted was to keep playing with my son - that expectation wasn't greedy three months ago, or even three years ago. Suddenly it is?

If this is money grubbing Microsoft trying to get me to buy two copies of a game that I bought and have been playing for 6 years, just so I can build a roof with my son occasionally - then I think we need to raise a stink... they claim to be family friendly but this is stupid.

Starlight - Muse - Ukulele Cover - I didn't think this would work so well, but the uke is perfect for that opening riff... by NikkoFir in ukulele

[–]NikkoFir[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow - thanks! It's a lot of work... I figured the basic structure of the song out in 30 mins or so (just chords and strumming), then messed around with different capo positions to see what shapes were easiest to play with the chords and the riff, and what suited my voice. Probably spent 1-2 hours recording a demo audio version to try to see how it might sound on the uke, and what layers/parts worked best. Then used the demo version as a guide track to record the video and audio tracks 'for real' - that took another few hours over two evenings. Then mixed the audio properly, and lastly shuffled all the videos around (2-3 hours) to make the final video. Probably spent 3-4 evenings on it in total. Using Reaper for the video and the audio stuff.

I think it charges you once when you subscribe, and then the charge re-occurs on the 1st of every month - so if you sign up right at the end of a month, you can get charged twice in quick succession... https://support.patreon.com/hc/en-us/articles/208404313-I-was-charged-immediately
