<p><strong>Proper Triangle Posture, String Expiration, Learning the Feel & Non-Wood Ukes</strong>Video Podcast: <a href="https://forum.ukuleleunderground.com/threads/structured-practice-r%C3%A9sum%C3%A9-remixes-regimens-the-uu-podcast-163.169033/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://forum.ukuleleunderground.com/threads/structured-practice-r%C3%A9sum%C3%A9-remixes-regimens-the-uu-podcast-163.169033/</a></p><p>How do you know when to move on to next lesson? How do you structure a Proper Practice Résumé Regimen? The guys start this week's Podcast by giving some feedback to a "Drunken Gymnast". They explain why it's important to have proper form, and why you should move on even if you haven't "Perfected" a song or technique. Aldrine explains how he would allocate time in a Practice Session and what makes something "Practice" vs "Playing". When a UU Member asks if strings can "Expire", the UU crew disagrees with each other on how long strings can last in the packaging. Another viewer brings up learning Ohta-San's arrangements which leads the team to talk about why you can't learn the "Feel" of a song from written annotation. The Podcast is topped off with the topic of non-wood Ukuleles.</p>

After showing what makes a dominant 9th chord, the UU Crew demonstrates how two ukuleles could be used to play a full 11 Chord. The podcast is topped off with a discussion on Pickups, and why Passive Pickups don't really suit Pro Players, but might do just fine for other people.</p>
