Here’s everyone on page 10.
@Nico_uke – Perfect performance Nico! Bravo 👏
@hotshot – WOW! Your speed and note clarity is incredible! Feel was excellent too! Amazing performance!
@mmoynihan – Excellent performance, Matt! For the first chord, try not to barre the 7th fret, as that will push the 7th fret on string 2 down, giving this chord a major sound, which is too happy for a spooky tune! Instead, fret string 3 with the tip of your index finger and let the index curve down slightly to touch/mute string 2.
Another area to work on is measure 14. After bar 13, try not to lift all your fingers. Instead, just slide the fingers on strings 2 and 3 up a half step and move your index down to string 1, fret 1. This should help make that transition smoother.
@bibilele – I LOVED it! Great performances from all of you! 🙂
@joe150 – Way to go Joe! One of my fav performances from you! Great playing 👏
@ukulelee – Great fingerpicking Leone! Feel was spot on too! Really well done this month!
@olemartin – Fingerpicking sounds great OM! Only thing I’d work on is keeping it steady throughout.
@rickgrant2025 – Great playing, Rick! The one thing I’d suggest working on is lightening your right hand attack when fingerpicking. This is a concept I demo-d and explained in this video a few years back for another member who was learning this song. You can ignore the comments on the left hand in that video.
This was a great first post, hope to see more of your playing in another challenge!
@mademoiselleannette – Really well played Annette! Keep up the great work! 🙂
@maryjanew – That was awesome MJ! Strumming and chunking technique are perfect. Timing was great and you played it super clean! I think you have it memorized. I bet if you took the music away, you’d realize you didn’t need it! The only section I’d work on is measure 14. Loop 13 going into 14. That’s prob the trickiest part of this tune. Keep up the great work!
@cimarronsailor – Feel, fingerpicking, strumming were spot on Lynn! Great job nailing the playful feel. My only suggestion would be to memorize it, that way you can focus 100% on playing it.
@mkstewart67 – Beautifully played Melissa! You nailed the playful vibe! From here, I’d focus your practice on smoothing out the Chorus and fine-tuning the Verse. Really well done this month!
