@oaksho1 Oh my goodness, your comment just turned my wonderful day into an EXTRA fantastic wonderful day! Thank you SO MUCH! Truly, thank you so much for listening. I really appreciate it.

[TooManySelves]

Hope you can figure it out. It is lovely the way you did this. Layering? Is that how you download, upload, whatever? the music?

[lagaringer]

Thank you very much. I hope you come back soon.

[nullandroid]

[lagaringer]

@Uke154 Thank you so much Franz! I hope you are having a great weekend. Take care.

Your version is stunning! To me the best cover of this song on yt:) You makes me wish to play it on my uke. Would it be possible to reveal which string you pull after which? I tried to work it out but you pull it so perfectly quick and I couldn't...

[lagaringer]

@0madlen0 Oh my goodness, I just saw this posting. Thank you SO MUCH! You made my day for sure. As far as the picking...LOL I have no idea what I did to tell you the truth. I am just learning how to pick and this was my first song I picked. I will dig out the sheet music and see if I can figure it out and will send you a message. Have a fantastic day today and a wonderful weekend!

Fantastic! Whew, I've tried the picking thing. So hard! I'm inspired to try again though!!

[lagaringer]

@joaniev A lot of practice is needed for me. Give me another year. :D

Nice Laura! I don't layer my videos. I keep my audio and video separate. And I always play to a click track to get the timing right... and then do it a dozen more times to get consistent and better. I then clap my hands at the end of each of the video's (tracks) to help sync the audio later. I edit all the sound in a multitrack sound editor, then I line up all the claps I did at the end with the video and make the cuts where I want them. Explained in less than 500 characters. :-) any questions?

[lagaringer]

@UkulelePeter Holy Smokes Peter! LOL I'll just have to wait for our collab and let you do the work. :D 

[UkulelePeter]

@lagaringer I'm waiting for you to give me the go-ahead Laura. Last u said u weren't into it. Look through the book I sent you, anything u like? Maybe we better continue this on private messages on FB.

[andreaaaaahh]

Great job! This is really pretty. I can't layer videos at all - I have no idea how people do it. And picking is definitely something I need to work on a lot. =D

[lagaringer]

@andreaaaaahh I know what you mean Andrea. I wish there was a tutorial on how people put together their fantastic videos. I just recorded the strumming and then played it and sang and picked. But I know some are so elaborate and then they add fun video clips. I wonder, what program are they using and HOW do they do it! I don't even know how to put a title on it. If anyone want to give us some tips, that would be so fantastic! :) Picking is hard, but girl...we will get there! :)

[andreaaaaahh]

@lagaringer so do I! I'd try google but I don't know what to search for. Hehe. And that's true! I've been practicing the past couple of days. =]

[yogajenny]

Aloha Laura. That's beautiful. I have been singing this song lately myself - so nice to harmonise with too. Love your ventures into picking. You go gal!!!!

[lagaringer]

@yogajenny Hi Jennifer, I can't wait to go take a listen to your version. It is such a beautiful song. I asked my husband if he could hear both the strumming and picking and he said that he just heard picking but no strumming, so I guess I have a lot of work ahead of me. LOL I hope you have been well. It and sounds like everyone had fun at the ukulele convention! One of these days I hope to meet too. Till then...see you online. :D Aloha!
