@puppylovesuke
– Bravo Daniel! You aced it! I really enjoyed listening to your performance 🙂


@addilein
– Very well played, Astrid! From here, I’d focus on refining and smoothing it out. You already play it so well! Just a couple more practice sessions, and you’ll have it perfected!


@ukealori
– Very nicely played Lori! The ghost notes sound great! Keep at it, it’s a tricky technique at first, but over time it becomes easier. So for this one, keep an ear out for consistency, that you hit it clean and clear each time.


@lyndallk
– Nicely played Lyndall! Watch out for the opens in bar 13 and 15, those are quarter note hits.


@kirpuff
– That was awesome Sara! Great playing!


@markmdive
– Really well played, Mark! One thing to focus on is consistency. While this song can be played with a bit of rubato, we still want to keep the tempo relatively steady. Some sections flow smoothly, while others take a bit more time to get through. For example, in Theme 1, the single notes from bars 6 to 9 have a nice, even flow. But in bars 10 to 12, the chord walk-down starts smoothly and then slows down significantly, with the diminished lick at the end of the theme being much slower than the beginning. I’d suggest working on maintaining a consistent tempo throughout, and then going back to add rubato where it feels right.
