So, I found Happy Birthday to be a little more difficult than Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. XD
But still fun to try playing it.

I had a youtube video on loop that had the finger positions scroll down the screen. I got mixed up quite a few times, but I like this style of trying to learn some of the easier stuff.

(oh, and you might have to turn your volume up a bit. I had my mute on and my phone in a weird place to be able to stand up, sort of)

Great job.
Straighten out your left wrist and use more elbow when you bow.
Look forward to your next video.
BTW, I gave you critique even though you didn't ask for it. If it doesn't bother you to get critique post a video on Critique Corner for another badge. thumbs-up

Thanks! Doesn't bother me at all. I appreciate any feedback since I don't plan on stopping at Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and Happy Birthday. ;-)
