epii Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Here's a ukulele song I wrote with finger picking rather than the more common uke strumming style. What can I say... I'm a finger picker. Again, as with much of my stuff, the flute-y thing is the vocal guide. I love composing and arranging. Singing.. not so much. This is a bouncy song and I think it employs the so-called "circle of 5ths" but I'm not one hundred percent sure about that as I don't really understand music theory.

Rabbival507 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Starts a bit like this Mozart variation examples melody B part. I think that it's a cute piece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epii Posted July 13, 2018 Author Share Posted July 13, 2018 Rabbival507, Thanks for linking to that Mozart piece. I personally can't see any similarity but hey anytime someone references Mozart to your piece just say "thank you"! So.. a big thank you for that! Yeah, I get what you mean about pieces in major keys.. they can be boring. In fact, as much as I love Mozart, some of the piano pieces in major keys bore me... but I admit that is my loss. The ukulele is a bit like the banjo with regard to it's emotional spectrum i.e. it's kinda hard to play anything other than happy music. You might notice in my piece that as I started it with that descending major lick I quickly turned it minor as I get bored very quickly with straight up major keys. Thanks for the input.

Ken320 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 It's just an odd thing to say is all. It's like a baker not liking bread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
