So, I'm not breaking music laws by doing this?

It's ok to change music or do people get angry?

I'm very happy to hear that.

It's kind of fun to alternate between the two outer strings, so I'm going to see if I can do that section this way.

I was really worried I missed some sort of rule telling us G can't be used for melody

I don't know how to ask the question yet, but I am going to try.

Why do so many beginners and intermediate songs ignore the G-string?  Especially fingerstyle.

I did some testing and it looks like it can play many of the same notes the A-sting can play.  Fret4 on G sounds a lot like fret 2 on A.  I didn't try the tuner to double check yet, but they seem pretty close.

This is the part i have trouble describing.   When we play one note on one string, then a new note on the next string, the first note sings a little bit.  But if we play several notes on the same string in a row, changing fretting each time, the note before goes quet to make room for the next note.

I think the word is related to a bell tower.

Example.  The song says play the following frets on A string.  7 4 2 0 2 4 0.  It's pretty but, the note dies as soon as the next one is ready.

Why not play the two 2 notes on the G string (g string fret 4)?  It takes less fancy fret work and then the notes can sing to eachother?

Or is this not allowed?  

Bonus points if you can rephrase the question in an easy to understand way.

I never thought people would have this problem, but it comes up every few months.

If someone sends a chaffy pm in responce to a singles post, and that chaffy user has no post history, maybe don't share your deepest secrets of your heart.  

There is lots of beautiful publicly available data in a user profile like if they posted yet, if they only post in singles and don't share permaculture projects, do they have apples or pie or thumbs up?  
I love my ukulele more every day.
