So I haven’t been involved this month as I’m in Hobart, Tasmania (Australia) building a ukulele. Very intense. I’ll show you when I’m finished.

Tonight I bumped into Robin and Tiffany! We recognised each other from the videos!

Here’s a selfie!

@lyndallk – that’s so cool!

Neat @lyndallk! It would be pretty cool to bump into fellow Rock Class 101 members!

holly1 – Super impressive for how long you’ve been playing! I’d be proud of that performance 🙂 Timing was excellent, as well as, note clarity.

For dynamics, give this a shot: accent beat 2 and the e of 2. So 2nd and 3rd strum. Try to hit these harder than the others. That will create a nice contrast in your strumming. This is also what @nthibode did.

One tip for fingerpicking the outro, try to keep a claw shape with the right hand, as shown in this guide. This is a more efficient way to pick.

willymac – Excellent roll in your attack, Wilfred! Wonderful performance, keep up the great work 🙂

Hi Lyndall

It was awesome and a little bit surreal to run into you at the cinema last night. I’m really looking forward to seeing the finished uke. The progress photos looked great.

Oh how cool you guys ran into each other! Hope you guys had fun!

My submission is La Gitanita again this month. Appreciate any feedback 😊

Hmmmm…. @lyndallk – I think you have the wrong Robin Boyd there!
That one is smiling!
The @robinboyd we see, NEVER smiles 😁😁😁
(Looks lovely me you got the right Tiffany though 👍).

[robinboyd]

lol. I inherited my look of concentration from my dad 😛

[lyndallk]

It was such a treat to meet RC101 folk in reality. (Not that the site isn’t real. Don’t get me wrong )

Uke building is slow and a personal growth experience. Tears, joy, terror, awe … It’s not finished but here’s a look. I’m drying the sealant in the sun. Ukes grow on trees in Tasmania.

I am a PREMIUM MEMBER.
I changed Andrew’s arrangement to low G ukulele.
On you tube I saw a guitar student Arash Ria playing with Ud phrasings and I found that interesting. I tried that too.
I just figured I forgot to repeat A2 at the end.

Jina, so cool. It almost looks like my playing but with a speeded up video. LOL

Lyndal, Robin, Tiff, That’s a “keeper” picture. And you’re right, Miz, so nice to see all smiles.

@jinajupiter – I love the look on your face as you are performing that. You can tell you are really getting into it.

[Andrew]

wongbrown – Great job! Here is a video tip on the strumming technique 🙂

jinajupiter – I love the changes! Very creative and expressive! The only thing I can suggest is to watch the tempo, as some of the harder changes threw it off a bit. Overall very cool! I really like your version 🙂
