Alright, so last night after I got home from class I thought I needed to strum away on the ukulele so I could get it to stretch the strings out some more as I only have 5 weeks for this project.
When tuning the ukulele I looked closer at the note that was registering on the tuner for some of the strings I was strumming and noticed that the strings were SO out of tune it was tuning as either the note above or below what it should have been. For example, say I was tuning the G string. When I first strummed it, I assumed it was hitting G but I realized last night it was tuning as either F or A so the string tension was WAY off. I did not realize this during my first go around. Now I think we are in business. Vance Joy's "Riptide" sounds much more like it should. Maybe I will even have some video or audio to share after I practice a bit more this week.
