    Great lesson on how to find melody notes by ear. The song is very pretty and brings back memories of when Denver was alive. A big thank you, Kelly.

    Beautifully played Kelly! Great tutorial- this is exactly where I want to go with my playing, but have been struggling. Your explanation really helps.💡Thanks so much!

      Hey Wanda! If you're just getting rolling with it try adding a few hammer ons here and there as embellishments - in no time you go from that to the full melody...and in the meantime just the embellishments will be a nice addition to your overall sound. Glad you enjoyed it!!

    Great explanation of the process of pulling out the melody. I thought you were reading some advanced music chart, which I definitely can’t do. But now I have a much better understanding of what’s going on, which makes me want to try it. Also thanks for one of my favorite songs.

      Hey Lucy! Glad you enjoyed it. It's funny people used to ask me the age old question: do you have tabs for this?? I haven't gotten that one for a while. Hope you have fun with it. To me I love it because it's a bit of a challenge and it really helps to maximize the sound available from the ukulele.
