Thank you.

Thank you 😊

@@mikemiragliuolo do you still sing and will post new videos on here? If you do, would you post it in the group too? 🌸

​@lisalo.lisalo the last one I recorded was a year ago. I hope to make more soon and I'll post it to the group too. Not sure if you're on Instagram, I'm the bearded uker on there. Thanks for watching 😊

@@mikemiragliuolo I just checked Instagram and found you, but can’t comment on any posts because you limit the comment section but I “liked” some photos 😅

@@mikemiragliuolo I just checked and found you but can’t comment, I liked a couple of posts tho 🌸

We have all of our music on Spotify, it's under the name "The Old World NH". I don't have any more of the CDs. I have the first 3 albums on my Dropbox. If you want I can send you the link so you can download them from there. Just shoot me an email at mikemiragliuolo@gmail.com if you want the link. Thanks for watching.

Thanks buddy.

Thank you. Sorry to say, I don't have any arrangements for this song.

It's Bm, A, E throughout the whole song. There's a link for all my arrangements in the description section of each song.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thanks for watching.

Thank you.

I don't really have a strumming pattern to give. I just kind of play without really thinking about it. Sorry.

@@mikemiragliuolo ok thanks 👍

Thank you for watching. The ukulele is a Flea soprano made by the Magic Fluke Company.

Thanks for watching.

Thanks Mario 😊

Thanks Teresa 😊

Thanks Jeff.

Thanks Diana 😊

It was most likely hall reverb. I was using a Yamaha 16 track digital recorder which was 14 years old at the time. I have a little Tascam 8 track digital recorder that I use now and I use hall reverb on that one. You can usually change the settings and level on it. I left the settings at whatever the factory preset was and just control the level. I think I usually put the level on 50 percent. I hope that helps.

Thank you 😊

Thanks for watching. It's a Kiwaya kts-4. I started with a Flea about 17 years ago and played that exclusively until I got the Kiwaya. Then when I got the Kiwaya I played it almost exclusively for a few years. These days I play the Flea most of the time.

@@mikemiragliuolo Thanks for responding! I ended up watching all your songs -- you sound great! I've been trying to decide between the Flea (either a soprano or a concert) and something like a Kiwaya or Martin mahogany soprano, so it was very cool to be able to hear their effect for different songs. They both sound great but different, so I'm having some trouble deciding. Is there a particular reason you prefer the Flea at this moment? Thanks again for your music. Hopefully we'll see more songs from you in the future.

@@tvboxify I think I prefer the Flea because it's what I started on and played for so many years. Something about the tone of the Flea just hits different for me. The Flea is also very durable. The two that I have are laminate tops so I don't have to worry about humidity or lack there of. The Kiwaya stays in the case with a humidifier and the Flea is out of the case and easy to grab, and gets played more often. The neck on the Flea is thicker than most ukuleles but I'm used to it and have no problems with it. I've had about 8 Fleas in the past. I gave a few away and sold a few. The are super consistent. I actually prefer the injection molded plastic fretboard over the wood fretboard with metal frets that they offer. In the end it's a matter of personal taste. The Flea just checks all the boxes for me. I hope that helps.

@@mikemiragliuolo Yeah, that makes sense why you're playing the Flea. Definitely go with the one that speaks to you. I had a soprano Flea in the past with a laminate top which I really liked (not sure why I got rid of it at the time!). I also played a concert Flea with a spruce top in a shop the other day and really liked the tone as well. I worry about the humidity with a solid top but from what I've read online the solid-top fleas are not quite as sensitive to humidity as an all-solid wood instrument, but I guess I still worry a bit :) Thanks for the advice! Your stuff definitely inspired me to pick up my guitar and uke and play more!

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you Kelli 😊

I put a link to my arrangement in the description section of each song. Here it is in case you missed it. Thanks for watching. www.dropbox.com/s/woybxer8eplhztl/Everywhere%20%28D%29.pdf?dl=0

@@mikemiragliuolo Hey Mike, thank you so much for the link to the chords. I see it now under your videos. 👍🤙

Thank you. The chords are Bm, A, E throughout the whole song.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I don't really know the exact strum i'm doing for this song. And It's possible that I strum a little different every time I play it. I do it without really thinking about it. Below I've tried to explain to strum that I usually do. Of course on every song it may vary a little bit. I would say I'm not doing a traditional uke strum. I really do it without thinking about it. The best way I could describe it is: I'm using my thumb mostly for the up and down stroke and then the back of my middle and ring finger on the end of the fingernails for a down stroke to get a percussive chop sound. You can use the back of whichever finger(s) you want, that's just how my hand naturally falls. Let's just say that (chop)= downstroke with the back of whatever fingernail(s) you're comfortable with. And any down, up is done with the thumb. So my go to strum would be. Down, down, up, chop, up, down, up and then start over again down, down, up, chop, up, down, up. Hope this helps, Mike

( Bm, A, E ) throughout the whole song.

Awesome. I'm glad the music sheets and videos are helpful. Thanks for watching.

@@mikemiragliuolo thank you so much 😊

@@IZZY.REYES.RECORDS you're welcome. Let me know if you post a cover of it so I can check it out.

@@mikemiragliuolo okay I will thanks again 😊

Most people use only their index to do the strumming on ukulele. That's the traditional way. I'm trying to do something different though. Hope this helps, Mike

@@mikemiragliuolo Thank you so much for your suggestion I’m really appreciated I will try to practice it more. 😊

@@mikemiragliuolo Thanks for that explanation I'm still trying to figure it out.

I guess it has been a while. My last one was 1 1/2 years ago. It's been hard to get motivated with all this covid crap going on. I'm still playing, just haven't been recording.

Thanks for watching :)
