Learning to Fly (Tom Petty)

[cdoesthehula]

You've just made me buy a baritone ukulele!

I have been listening to baritone for a couple of weeks now, and was tempted, but worried about picking up all the new chord shapes(I never managed to learn guitar in the past!).

So thanks!

[YeahRica]

@cdoesthehula Glad to hear you bought a uke! Playing the ukulele has been one of the best decisions in my life. Happy playing. :)

[07FreshMaker]

ur beautiul and so is your voice... ur so lovely sis :)))

[1aeronca]

you sound really good. your voice would be perfect for doing a cover of zero 7's song "in the waiting line".

[agnostaxian]

great voice, if you had a 6 string it would sound great but this is cute

[SHUGABELLA]

beautiful mellow voice! i want to get a bari uke and string it gcea too.

[archivestereo]

Your voice is amazing and perfect for this key! Just Amazing!

[bwhites721]

Nicely done!

[jennyandthecaptains]

cool!

[idrnoel]

Very sweet! Lovely vocals. Fabulous deep tones.

[CaptainUkehandles]

This is beautiful. More!

[uketreehugger]

from one GIGAPUS to another.. you are super rad, lady. awesome vocals. wish i could have made it out to UWC this year.. next year for sure. keep it up. you are rockin it girl.

[mjs004]

Hey, this is awesome! You have an outstanding voice.

Can't wait for your next video!

[YeahRica]

@LuminocitySTL I am already looking forward to next year. UWC was a blast!

[tonvaldi]

I think the tone you sing is too low for you. Try using a capo and play it as you did it but down the neck.

[YeahRica]

@tonvaldi Is there a capo specifically for the uke, or are all capos the same? I will have to try it out--thanks for the suggestion. :)

[tonvaldi]

@YeahRica A guitar one will be fine.

[FearTheK35]

@YeahRica there are capos specially designed for ukuleles. search for it on amazon.com, or look for it at local music stores. They are the same as banjo capo's

[YeahRica]

@FearTheK35 Ah, nice to know! I tried out a regular, guitar capo, but my hand kept running into the clip. I will check out the ukulele/banjo capos. Thanks! :)

[lifeofmuzic]

@tonvaldi.....i thought the key she played it in was perfect...her tone was great

[jdogface]

pretty voice... I really liked it

[YeahRica]

@jdogface Thanks! :)

[StrumThingDifferent]

AWESOME JOB. Keep it up,  You're off to a great start :)

[YeahRica]

@StrumThingDifferent Thanks! I live your YT name, and your "Ukulele Light Show" video. You did that with a Canon Rebel? That's awesome!

[UKISOCIETY]

YAY! I subbed.

[YeahRica]

@UKISOCIETY Thanks for the sub! Loved your "She's a Girl in Glasses and Playing Ukulele" song. Yippie for G.I.G.A.P.U.S!

[maillist710]

This is reallywell done and such a warm performance... hope there is more to come!

[YeahRica]

@maillist710 Thank you for your kind words. It was great meeting you at UWC, and I enjoy listening to you play. :)

[1008955]

lovely voice. keep up the nice work....

[YeahRica]

@1008955 Thanks!  :)

[JDMRTN342]

Good work. Your voice really does have a nice mellowness to it. I'm so sorry I forgot to write "second" on the comments last night.

[YeahRica]

@JDMRTN342 Thanks! I hope to make it back to uke group soon.  Darn work and other activities keep getting in the way. Was able to make it to a nice jam session today, though. :)

[ukeyermind]

That's a killer first video, Miss Erica! Sounding mighty fine! Hey, and I love yer YT name, too.

[YeahRica]

@ukeyermind Thanks! I came up with "YeahRica" when I was geocaching. I worked out perfectly when I found a cache. Eureka/YeahRica, I found it! :)

[dktoller]

Excellent! Welcome to the world of youtube vids.

[YeahRica]

@dktoller Thanks!  I am happy that I posted. :)

[wolfewithane]

Hope to see you at UWC next year.

[YeahRica]

@wolfewithane I am already excited for UWC 2012! It was great meeting you.

[wolfewithane]

Wow. I'm wowed

[MrNonosse]

Lovely voice for a performance full of charm. Under your spell.

[TooManySelves]

Beautiful voice; so impressed with your first video. Look forward to many more.

[UncleElvis]

Just plain lovely.

Wait... am I allowed to talk to you?

[YeahRica]

@UncleElvis Thanks!  Wait...why wouldn't you be allowed to talk to me? I am a little worried that you got colmes69 pregnant. LOL

[UncleElvis]

@YeahRica Would you believe that I have no idea where that all came from, and that I didn't have any recollection of it after, until people told me what I did? (I will admit that I did behave myself better than I could have, which is a good thing! *grin*) Thanks for being a good sport.

[seeso]

Really well done, Erica.

[YeahRica]

@seeso Thanks! :)

[kilaana]

That was fan-freakin'-tastic!! You did an awesome job!!

GOOD JOB, ERICA!!! I'm so proud of you. And your voice is very lovely. It's so cool to see you 'learning to fly' on your ukulele!:) aka: your friend, Susan M.

[YeahRica]

@messengergardens Thanks, Susan! I can't wait to jam with you again. :)

[robfaricelli]

Hope to see many more vids from you. You have a great voice. I'm sorry I never got to say hi to you at UWC. Hopefully, Chug and the indy group can hook up this year.

[YeahRica]

@robfaricelli I think we might all meet for a camping trip in Michigan. That would be great. :)

[ukulelezo]

You have a wonderful voice. Congrats on your first vid! You're a natural.
