Sweet Afton || The Experience is the Thing

Song Fu Challenge with a Baritone. This playful video uses an exercise as a device to break thru and create. My instructor Rhan Wilson in Santa Cruz had us Uke U Students nearly screaming to get over our singing inhibitions: to get over our fears of singing in front of others -- which is not the easiest for us shower singers.
Another obstacle is the desire to be perfect. We want to be smooth and polished. Sometimes we need to perform with all of our warts! This Song Fu seems to break thru this barrier. Another technique I've seen is UkiSocietie's 5 second songs (usually longer) that lets small sparks of brilliance shine out and perhaps the small sparks will add up.

Thank you SweetAfton for the lesson...
