I've been working on improving my fingerstyle playing with some classical repertoire. This is my attempt at "Study No. 10", a classical guitar etude by Fernando Sor arranged by Jeff Peterson.

Sorry I didn't record a video to go with it. There's also an instrumental version since my voice doesn't quite capture the same passion as the original!
- New strings for my cheap uke
Got my first uke a couple of years ago, cheap soparano starter kit from Amazon. The tone is not great, I know it’s partly my technique but I’m hoping these will brighten it up a bit.
What strings are you using, and what are you using them on?
- Feel free to post your own uke music!
I'd feel a bit silly just posting umpteen songs of my own so I've held off, feel free to post yours!

I absolutely love this, honestly like it more than the original. It's impressive how she can get such luxurious sound out of a purely treble instrument.

Lyrics:
I ventured deep in the ocean, down to the dark plains
I felt the weight of the water upon my back
I swam to a fearsome place where no light penetrates
I gave in to the yawning abyssal black
I heard her fingers pluck the strings of a bone lyre
I lost all thought, caught in the whirling of the ocean gyre
The siren has drugged me, she's taken my will away
She's taken the red that was once my rage and pain
I felt her voice in my sinew, the nerve cords of my spine
My bones dissolved, oneiroid changes took hold
My skin swirled blue-grey, my limbs became serpentine
My neck split to form gills, I no longer felt the murderous cold
Her fingers danced wildly on the strings of a bone lyre
I was lost to the world, to the whirling of the ocean gyre
The siren has drugged me, she's taken my will away
She's taken the red that was once my rage and pain
