For real?! Although music is something I'm passionate about, it feels like I'm cheating my average viewer out of a build video when I do this. :/ (And the poor video performance seem to confirm.) But for sure, these types of videos are way easier than build videos, and a live stream is easier still, so it's encouraging knowing at least a couple folks actually enjoy them. Thank y'all! :)

Crafsman, you might not be a professional-music-academy-trained musician but you if you play music you are a musician. On top of that you’re a composer, sound engineer and a producer. So keep on steady strumming and drumming. (Love the warm tone and timbre of that ukulele.)

11:49 The 'magnet note' is the fifth note of the scale you're using (i.e. it is a 'perfect fifth' interval from the 'tonic' or first note of the scale), it's called the 'dominant' in music theory for exactly the reason you describe. The first two notes of the Star Wars theme are the tonic and the dominant, it's very powerful.
