Hello! Welcome to another episode of Webcam Sessions. This week we're going to
talk about the words "simple" and "easy" and how I like to use them when it comes to
ukulele playing. A lot of times I'll get students that are starting on a new song
that is very simple looking, you know they they look at the tab or a video or
whatever else, they can see exactly what they need to do, see someone else doing
it and think "oh this is going to be really you know easy to do, it looks so
simple" and they start practicing it and quickly realize "oh man that's not so
easy". There's a lot of you know tricky elements to it, that makes it more
difficult and so what we can think of is the difference between these words
the word "simple" I like to use as simple to understand, simple to see, simple to
sort of know what to do right? A great example of this outside of the ukulele
is you know cooking a filet mignon steak. We've been on a food kick recently right,
so why not continue that. It's very simple to cook a great steak right? You
don't usually use a lot of seasoning, the actual process of cooking it is
relatively straightforward, but that being said cooking a perfectly you know
medium-rare steak is not easy to do, even though it's simple right? Again it's i
seasoned with salt and pepper put on the grill, but knowing exactly when to turn
it and exactly how to cook it is a whole nother story. This happens all too often
when we're learning new songs where they look very simple, the notes on the page
seem to be you know not very difficult but in reality they're much harder, so
something can be very simple but that doesn't mean it's going to be easy. A
great example of this is something that we've worked on here on Webcam Sessions
like the caterpillar exercise, which if you haven't checked out that video below
please check it down in the link you know in the description, so that you can work
on this exercise. But it looks something like this just to play a bit of it. All
that I'm doing here is I'm playing up a fret each time and moving my fingers
it looks very simple right, if I'm just playing one and then two, and then three
and then four and then moving up to two, three, four,
five right? Looks very simple but you'll notice it's not very easy to do. If you
haven't done it before just because it's using you know elements of finger
movement and things that you might not have familiarity with. If you're a
complete beginner or if you remembered when you're a complete beginner, well the
hardest things in the world is to play a G chord right, index finger here on three
of the C, ring finger here on three of the E, and middle here on two of the A,
not the G chord itself (even though that can be tricky sometimes) but rather just
taking off your middle finger, your brain doesn't want to do it right. Oftentimes
we'll take off our ring finger instead just because our brain connects the
lowest finger to the lowest finger right, our ring finger is lower and yet it's so
hard to do right. This is a great example of something that's a very simple motion
just take off that middle finger, but it can actually be very difficult to do meaning
it's not easy. So sort of a short episode here but just whenever you're working on
something and you're getting discouraged because it seems like it should be
really easy, just think well maybe it's simple but it doesn't mean it's easy,
just like cooking a great steak or making a great plate of sushi or
whatever it might be. It could be a simple concept, not a lot in terms of
steps and directions and things to do it well, but that doesn't mean it's going to
be easy to do. So next week we'll continue with some of these sort of
concepts. Last week we wrapped up a practice session routine, if you haven't
checked out that, please check out that three-part series down in the description
below and I'll see you guys next week for another episode of Webcam Sessions.
