Uke Update

In case anyone was wondering... I'm still spending a delightful amount of time most days playing the ukulele. I play until my finger pads hurt, or my voice gives up. As proof/accountability, here are two little songs I recorded today. First, Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah. Second, The House of the Rising Sun. I haven't tried to figure out strumming patterns yet, so these recordings are just chords with singing. I dug out my guitar capo for Hallelujah so I wouldn't have to split the octave, but the notes sounded a little bit off, so maybe that wasn't a great idea. One day I'll learn (remember) how to change keys so that I can just play it in a different key, but that day is not today. Also, for fair warning, there's one pretty bum chord near the end of Rising Sun. Oops. I'm not going to feel too bad about it... I've been playing for a grand total of 9 days.
