Here is my entry for the April Challenge. I’ve been playing the uke for about four months now and I was just a basic strummer when I discovered this website. I couldn’t get a single barre chord done properly, but I practised almost everyday and my fingers got stronger! By learning this song, my playing really improved and I had a lot of fun.
Hello, I am an 66 yr old beginning ukulele player. So I am not fast and my fingers get a bit stiff. I am slightly better at strumming but I really enjoy finger picking nice melodies. Here is my contest submission, I had to really strengthen my fingers for some of these chords. I hope I Win, Thanks for any feedback on how to improve with old fingers.
Help. I’ve never recorded myself or uploaded anything. Using an iPhone 4S and Voice Record. I get it recorded and it sounds terrible. Not just my playing (!), but there is a constant ambient hiss and you can hear me breathing as well as you can hear the uke. Am I not supposed to breathe? Doesn’t sound any better once uploaded. Is this as could as I can expect with this phone and app? Thoughts?

Here’s my take #46 of Dream A Little Dream. I can play it just fine. But when I hit record button I fall a part? must be some kind of Phobia.
Same…I’m messing around and playing alright but let me hit record and all of a sudden my dog starts barking, the neighbor’s car alarm goes off, and I cant even play the intro anymore 🙂
I love RC101 and have started to learn a few of the finger style arrangements.
This is my first attempt at recording or uploading me playing the uke and unsure if this is good enough quality but here is the link. Please let me know if you can’t view it for some reason.
