I hate folding stands.  Just found the first one I can live with, and to your point Bill it’s sleveless....but uses cork instead.

I don’t trust the folding jobbies  nearly as much as wall hangers.

Help you through what Bill? You’re practicing, right? You’re having fun, right? You’re learning, right?

Then you’re doing it perfectly.

Keep it up!     

I'm in the market for a banjo so if you decide to do that, please let me know.      

I tend to do a lot of transposing so I try to think in roman numeral notation. G - Em - C - D becomes I vi IV V and from there I can put it in any key.

I teach and arrange using Nashville because of the easy application to jam band music. It's easy to tell someone to sit on the 4 and then play 4, b3 and b7 to go from one song to another.

I read standard notation infrequently but was pleasantly surprised the other day when I was under the gun during a gig and was given 5 new pieces of music at downbeat. I had to sight-read the melody vocal and chord charts at the same time. I only stumbled two or three times in the hour-long gig, but that was due to modulations and a couple melodies that were way out of my vocal range. I was pretty pleased with myself!      

That's incredible. how many members are still around who were here on month 1?     

Been listening to these for the last few days whilst at work, but too busy to remember to comment here. Sounds great. My daughter loves them too.  Do you take requests?     

This sounds great. I think Beamer has rubbed off on me because I was expecting to hear Enter Sandman, which is a different song entirely.

It did get me wondering if anyone has attempted an Enter Sandman cover on uke, which I shall now research.

Again, sounded wonderful!     

Yup just up and down a major scale.   
Edit to add:
He’s not running the scale from root to root.  He’s playing up to 3 then back down to 2, then up to 4 if memory serves.

Are you printing from your web browser's print feature? Because that's going to grab everything on the page as you see it...headers, ads, footers, etc. Might be better off highlighting the text you want and using "print selection."

I normally copy and paste things into my content management software of choice (I use Evernote) and print from there.     

I can read music but prefer to not.

Generally, the music I play requires chord charts and lyrics.     

Did ya see this? https://www.whammyparts.com/images/PDF's/2720%20Spyder%20adjustments%20and%20setup.pdf

As an alternative just play one note at a time. It’ll at least be less obvious.     

Very sorry to hear of your loss.
