@leb397, that’ll be so lovely for you to play that one again! I think I remember you playing that one before maybe. It’s actually really cool to revisit songs you learned a while ago. I’ve really been meaning to do that with the song Always With Me from Spirited Away that Steven did because that one is so lovely. Just see what it’s like for me now. But that’s more of a random side tangent. 😂 Thank you, I know I’m going to be on the struggle bus with Free Fallin’ but FINALLY I can force myself to work on some strumming. I have a serious mental block with that. That also means I never really learned how to chunk/chuck, so that should be fun. 😂😂 Thank you so much for you confidence, though, maybe you’re right! 😂🧡


@Gi_gi_
I also remember you singing Summertime and it being so gorgeous. That will be really neat with Song of Storms! I really want to do a piano accompaniment with the uke for something, too, at some point, but I guess I need a piano for that. Maybe I can find a free-ish one somewhere. 😂

I also had kind of a funny, completely unrelated thought that seemed really funny in my mind about last month’s challenge. So, I thought I’d share it here while we’re still in the random conversational stage of this challenge. 😂

Here it is:

After I mentioned that I learned the tune I chose last month in a couple of days, I noticed that a few other people mentioned they learned their tunes around that quickly. So, then I started to think about getting super braggy about how quickly I could learn the tune – “Actually, I learned the tune while I was watching the play through of the song in the lesson then instantly figured out how to play it (I have done that before, but only for parts of songs, lol!!).” But then it gets really extreme: “I guessed which song Andrew was going to pick this month before he even realized it, then figured out who was going to make the arrangement and guessed how he would do it – so I learned the song before it fully existed.” Final stage: “I time travelled into the past and wrote a song that would be picked for a future challenge – so I created the song he picked decades before Rock Class 101 existed.”

😂😂😂

In my mind, that seemed really funny, but probably no one else will find that funny, but now I feel unburdened… 😂
