Ukelige Weihnachtslieder (freies E-Book, extra einfach) Wilfried Welti 2023-12-07 | Download für das E-Book: ukulele-arts.com/2023/12/07/ukelige-weihnachtsliederWer kennt das nicht? Man möchte gerne jemanden motivieren, Ukulele zu spielen -- aber es hakt selbst schon bei "einfachen" Akkorden, wie dem G, oder dem F. Ich habe daher ein Experiment gewagt, und eine Reihe von Weihnachtsliedern für vereinfachte Akkordbegleitung gesetzt. Diese vereinfachten Akkorde klingen zwar ein wenig ungewohnt. So klingen in den ersten 6 Liedern durchgehend die G- und die C-Saite beim Spielen mit, und stellen damit eine Bordunquinte dar. Solche Bordun-Begleitungen waren allerdings z.B. bei alter Musik nicht unüblich.

Freude, schöner Götterfunken Wilfried Welti 2022-12-17 | A quick take on one of Beethoven's most famous tunes! Also known as The Hymn of Joy. I promptly received a content ID hit for this upload, which I find ridiculous, since this melody already was used by Ludwig van Beethoven in his 9th symphony. . There seem to be people who abuse content ID by claiming copyright for popular music that is in the public domain, thus getting income from advertisments shown along videos where such music is played. Of course I disputed the claim, however whoever disputes a claim usually gets threatened that his YT channel may get deleted if the dispute gets rejected. It's a bit upsetting.This is a slightly improved version of the arrangement in my free e-book "Solo Ukulele für Einsteiger". Played on my trusty Brüko soprano ukulele.
