aloha Patrons!

[UPDATE: 9.27.2017: click here to watch the live lesson - Crowdcast will ask to verify your Patreon access - click Allow, and then you should be able to play the video]

so, you might notice that Patreon has a brand new look - they have also revamped their site with new features, including a new livestreaming platform - it's called Crowdcast.  it has better chat functionality, Q&A upvoting and bookmarking, live polling.  i'd like to try it today for our Live Lesson.  can i ask you all to help me figure out how it works? :)  

LIVESTREAM TEST 4-4:30pm: i'm going to go live at 4pm and give myself time to work out any kinks (or move to plan B if necessary).  if you're available to join early and help me test out features, i'd appreciate the help!  if everything goes well, we can just chat and maybe jam a tune or two.

LIVE LESSON starts at 4:30pm PDT

HOW TO WATCH: if you click the WATCH THE LIVESTREAM button above, you should be able to log in with your Patreon account and go to the livestream window.  feel free to start posting questions in the Q&A and your hellos on the live chat.

HOW TO WATCH LATER: the livestream is recorded, so just come back to this post and click above!

Should this link still be working - I can get to the video but it will not play

Jenny Selig

Not sure, Lisa. This song has a habit of getting blocked but it could be a Crowdcast problem. We'll look into it.

John Gambel

Hi Jenny and Ellen, Thank you very much for providing me the links that include Part 3 of Stairway to Heaven. I love the ukulele community. Everyone is so friendly and supportive. I hope to meet you sometime at one of the festivals prevents. Cynthia Lin is the greatest. Play on! Best John

John Gambel

That was "festivals or events above."

John Gambel

Ellen and Jenny, Did Cynthia ever borrow an electric ukulele to record the solo break? Jimmy Page would be proud of Cynthia.

Joe Brown

When I click to watch livestream later, it does not work.

Ok, I just joined Crowdcast, thanks for being kind to use old people. In 1978 when i finished college, there was no computer.

Thorvald Duus

The video is not a good quality, i had hoped the recording version was better than live, but it is not.

Joshua Green

Playing this song makes me feel like such a pro! Thanks so much Cynthia.

Joshua Green

I can see that thinking of the tabs as underlying chords and having the words lined up correctly with the tabs makes such a difference in learning.

Joshua Green

I will have to try it with Vanessa's lyrics just for run

Cynthia Lin

i know - we'll go back to youtube for the jam next week and i'll work with crowdcast and patreon on upping the quality. thanks for tuning in!

Thorvald Duus

Is there somewhere i can read or learn about reading those tabs - i think i have an idea how if it was all sirrow, but dont understand what 0 - 2 - 3 - 3h means, sorry if i ask to much.

Thorvald Duus

Hope it is going to work, it is an interesting page and the times it was good, it was better than Utube, thank you.

Joshua Green

The numbers refer to which fret you are supposed to play. So a number two over the G string, for example, means 2nd fret on G string. The little h stands for "Hammer on." This just means that after you have plucked the given string, you forcefully put a finger on whichever fret has the h (3rd fret in your example. It has the effect of getting another note without plucking a second time and has a different quality of sound than say, just plucking the 3rd fret.

Jenny Selig

I wasn't able to watch live, so I'm trying to watch the recording now. I'm having real problems streaming it. It keeps buffering, and the audio and video keep falling out of sync. Maybe my connection is having trouble I'll try again another time.

Jenny Selig

Same problems today, FYI.

Jenny Selig

Wait! After all my whining, I just reloaded everything for a third time and now it's working! Ignore me! ;)

I just upgraded my pledge and watched this for the first time... it is great! Cynthia, you are right: the strumming/muting in Section III is the coolest thing ever. I love it when you "rock out" at the end. I know this is/was a tough tutorial to do, but I think it will be VERY popular and bring you even more fans. Thanks!
