I couldn’t decide on one piece only… so fiddled around with 2 of them…:D
Thanks for the arrangements

Here’s my August Challenge submission of Moon Waltz. The setting is a little noisy with the waves, beach walkers, and dogs playing, but I was going for a Hawaiian vibe. I am still working on keeping a consistent tempo. Thanks for another great lesson and a lovely song.

Take care,
Karen

This month I chose Fingerpicking Etude no. 5. It’s such a beautiful melody and I really enjoyed learning it. The most challenging part for me to overcome is to Travis-Pick consistently and timely. It’s also easy to lose focus and mess up like I did near the end but it was still my best take from many attempts.

So impressed with the entries and stepping up their “game” with location shots! I started with Etude #13 so I’m posting it first but I REALLY wanted to learn Etude #5 for travis picking. What a challenge, so I will post it after this one. Andrew, all the lessons are a real challenge and it has truly been a journey learning. I watch the other posts and often think – “Ill never be as good” but then, it’s all about the joy of learning for me. THANK YOU Andrew for inspiration with RC101. Louisa

This is my second post with Etude #5 and attempt to travis pick. It is a slower version but eventually, maybe these old fingers with speed up. Of course, I too have a video fear (like many say) and getting a good video is hard without mistakes.
Thanks again Andrew.
Only count one entry since I am posting two… overachiever… ha ha

Nice video! May I ask what ukulele you have there?

Finally I managed to get something ready for submission again! My first entry this year… ^^;

When I closed in on the ending I added to the etude, my brain kind of froze and I added another repetition to collect myself again. But nevermind. Posting something here in time is enough of an achievement for me. 😀
I hope you’re all well! 🙂

Etude #5
Thank you everyone at rockclass101 for the past responses and advice!

Thanks @olemartin.

The uke is a baritone semi-solid eletric acoustic built by HiGuitarsUK.

Wanted to sneak one more upload in! For this one I went with fingerpicking etude #13. I struggled with changing between the two picking patterns and the pull off. And when it came to recording it, I found that when I didn’t have the onscreen tabs to play along with, i tend to speed up too much!
Also, I wanted to bow out of the entries for this month’s drawing, as I already own a Kala Bamboo uke and would like to see it go to someone else 🙂
