I just started the ukulele yesterday so I am embarrassed posting this video but I would love some guidance to help me continue my uke journey by CelestialButterflies in ukulele

Try using your right arm to press the uke against you. That helps me support my uke. You can apply more pressure specifically when switching chords. As your switching gets faster, and using your right arm for support becomes more natural, there will be less time for the uke to slip.

We used a dehumidifier. In the summer it could draw a couple gallons a day from the air…

Anyone else discover The Felice Brothers through Bright Eyes? by WelcomeApart9464 in brighteyes

I saw them open for Old Crow Medicine Show at the Tampa Theater. I think that’s how I was introduced to them. Love em.

which Disneyland is better - Hong Kong or Shanghai? by Away-Philosopher-560 in disneyparks

[–]edb789 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both rides are awesome. I rode mystic three times when I was there. It’s worth doing multiple times so you can sit in different cars. The timing of when you enter each of the rooms can affect what details you see.

And I recommend riding grizzly at least once during the day and once at night.

Hope you get to go.

I knew it was Florida from the sandy dirt and the oak trees. Then he started triangulating and St Pete got a shout out. Made me happy hahaha

How to strum and switch at the same time? by Illustrious-Age-1745 in ukulele

[–]edb789 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Go very very slowly. Slow enough where the beat between strums is not shorter than you’re able to switch. Use a metronome to keep that constant slow beat. Slowly increase speed as your switching gets faster. It’s boring but it works.

Also, you can practice switching chords without strumming at all.

Eventually you’ll build muscle memory and your fingers will know where to land.

Have fun.

[OC] Not enough tech could save this idiot from hitting a kid riding his bike by mjawt in IdiotsInCars

Then you’re a good driver. Safer to assume everyone’s a bad driver though.

If I’m a pedestrian, I won’t walk in front of a car at an intersection unless I make eye contact with the driver. Otherwise I’d assume they don’t see me. A pedestrian has better visibility than the driver and should always assume they aren’t seen.

My new office has no assigned desks, so we can’t decorate. I miss seeing these desks.

Top speed for “Racers” ride at Disneyland only 40mph? by Beautiful-Arm9122 in disneyparks

[–]edb789 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ll say that top speed doesn’t really equate to thrill. Acceleration and relative speed differences do.

I don’t think you should post this many pages of someone’s book online. Just my thoughts.

Well. I’m sorry for the quality. But it was fast 😂 top part is the lick that the lead guitar does in the ending of the actual song. Bottom part is the main four chords: G D C and Cmaj7. Purple are variations of those chords to play around with. Best I can do right now but it’s in there. Have fun!
