Heeeellllooo, uke friends! 😊
Just wanted to share with ya this song I’ve been working on for a while. It’s suppose to be Take Me Home, Country Roads by John Denver but in a “classical” style. I shared this on my lil’ YouTubes channel but wanted to share this here because I like to share what I’m working on with my “friendios” here. That’s a word. 😅
I wrote a long, rambling description of the song on the video itself, as well. 😅
I hope ya like it! I know there’s more that could be done to it, but for now I’m pretty happy with it. 😊
Thank you if you take the time to listen!

Hello friendio! I agree, a beautiful classical piece. Love your consistency in picking. That is difficult and you have mastered it. Great showcase 😁👍👏🦄You’ve done a fantastic job with the arrangement.
You do have good ear. Amazing rendition as well. I specially highlight the right hand. super smooth!
Lately I’ve been specially interested in classical tunes. I usually play Spanish Romance. Picado fingerpicking leads to a classical music feeling, so that was a great inspiration. Thank you for sharing, not only your performance but also the process. That helps a lot!@leb397, thank you so much, friendio! 😅💕 I hope the song is also John Denver-y enough as well, along with the attempted classical feel. Thank you for kindly saying I mastered the fingerpicking consistency; that’s probably the thing I’ve done the most on uke since I first started playing because I just love how it can sound and how it feels. Thank you so much for the kind words. 😊💕
@Andrew, thank you so much!! That means a lot coming from you. I’m so happy that you listened to it and liked it. I feel like you and the community you created is arguably the reason this song exists. So, thank you. 😅
@robinboyd, thank you kindly, my friend!! 😊
@rebeca, thank you so much!! I really appreciate all the kind words. I love classical music so much as well. Before joining RC101, I had never heard the song Spanish Romance before, but fell in love with it immediately as well. The interesting thing about trying to create this arrangement is that I had to ask, “what makes a song classical?” I’m sure there are technical things you could list for sure, but for me that was interesting to ponder.The main thing I think this recording missed was that I didn’t quite capture the emotion I wanted, because I was so nervous. And also I was really annoyed that I messed up right at my favorite part where the major melody begins. You can kind of see that in the video. 😂
Anyway, thank you so much, I can’t even say how much I appreciate all the encouragement from everyone here. It has meant so flippin’ much to me. Thank you! 😊💕
Gah, thank you so much, @gi_gi_! It’s so kind that you say that. My YouTube channel is also The Bumble Bard. 😅 The video in this thread is connected to it, but it’s: https://m.youtube.com/@thebumblebard
I’m pretty sure it only has songs I’ve also posted on Rock Class right now, though. 😅
Thank you again! 😊
