- Uke Questions & AnswersI mashed up a poem and song a couple of years ago, and I've recently dusted it off and tweaked it a bit, so it would be great if I could submit it for the challenge. I know Matt clearly states in the criteria that entries should comprise two or more songs, but I thought it was worth asking if my mash-up would be eligible. (I'm assuming I'll be able to play it. Before I did the mash-up, I used to play the actual song using the island strum, which I swore off playing a couple of years ago. Re-learning the arrangement without reverting to the island strum is going to be a challenge in itself!)
- General uke discussionI recently enquired about blank tab sheets to allow me to transfer sheet music in notation to tab. I have GuitarPro software on my computer and realised it allows notation to be converted to ukulele tab. I haven’t used it much but did a reasonable first attempt with Simon & Garfunkel’s Bridge over troubled waters. Very very slow process . The bar auto corrections helped me decide which notes were needed to fit the time scale. Apart from a couple of occasions where I tried to use tie and it should have been a slur I thought I did Ok for a first attempt. How have others got on with any software or apps for their uke adventure . I will attempt to put some of Jeff Peterson 20 practice studies for classical guitar in to tab and see if it converts nicely to uke. He has a similar uke book but don’t see the worth in a duplicate buy, similar with his classical pieces for baritone which I have already bought for low g uke. I need to stop buying books with only notation not realising they don’t have tab. I can sight read very slowly but not well enough to play from sheet music alone. Dave L
