    Thank you @Andrew!! I know that the first note of the 35 bar is longer than the second( half and quarter note). I use to play it correct,but when I’m recording me I feel a bit nervous and I make this kind of mistakes. The problem with the transition to the chorus( and the final part of the song)is that I would need a dot in the 15th fret( as the beautiful uke you use on the lesson)because I need to count the frets,to play the good one. When I’m not recording I play it without the gap,and sometimes I play the 15th fret but sometimes I play the 14th. At the final part you can see that I almost play the 14th fret instead the 15th. As I said,I would need another month,at least,to play it as I would like but I’m very happy to have learned it. I love the tv show,the soundtrack and the arrangement is amazing. Thanks for the feedback too and sorry for my English,I’m not using google translate to practice music and English at the same time!!

    Lovely submissions everyone!
    Game of Thrones for me! did not have much time to learn and practice it as it’s been a busy month, so not wonderful but good enough.

    Here is the debut of my new ukulele, won in the July challenge. It is a Kala tenor uke, complete with plug, built in tuner, and set up low G. Thanks to Andrew and Mike at uke republic, it plays beautifully and I am so appreciative!

    Welp….. There’s no turning back now. I’m fully committed to what I’m about to share. Absolutely maximum jankitude: Achieved. 😂

    Here is the “Fur-iends” Theme:

    😅😅😅😂😂😹😹😹

    Thanks to @gi_gi_ especially, but to all the lovely people here, for encouraging my silly whims! 😂💕

    So many incredible entries! @dianna, your take on this theme was so lovely, beautiful singing and playing! @marianne, majestic and gorgeous playing as usual! Everyone else has done an amazing job, too. I won’t lie, I’m pretty pleased with how ridiculous mine is in every way… 😂

    Please remove me from the prize drawing this month. And sorry about your ears, @Andrew, they may never be the same. 😂

    @marlongas – Your english is great! I understood everything perfectly. No worries on the nerves, happens to all of us! And the dot def helps!


    @marianne
    – Beautifully played, Marianne! You always play with such great feel. Honestly, it sounds like just a little more practice will get those tricky spots flowing as smoothly as the rest.


    @willw18
    – Wonderfully played, Will! You nailed the fun, feel good vibes 🙂


    @morrieuke1
    – That uke has such a lovely, warm tone! Congrats again, it sounds awesome, as does your performance. Aced it!


    @The_Bumble_Bard
    – LOL 😂, brilliant take and animation!

    thanks a lot @Andrew! I really appreciate it. It’s those transitions haha… very obvious when a piece is meant to be so rhythmic. 😂 Will get there

    and @The_Bumble_Bard! your submission is too funny 😂 Wonderful cheeky animation too!

    @the_bumble_bard That was sooooo awesome. I am laughing so hard tears are streaming out my eyes 😹😹😹 The part that made me laugh the most was when you said no animals were harmed in this demostration. I love your creativity. It has no bounds. You encourage us all to have fun and enjoy our music/playing. Thanks for that. It was puuuuuurrrrfect 😹😹😹

    @The_Bumble_Bard omg that was so funny! 🤣 It is especially funny to me because when I learn to sing and strum a new song (and I still need to get the strumming pattern into my muscle memory) I start by humming the lyrics or I meow them exactly like you did! 😂 The animation is so cute as well! Aaand I love cats so much. 💕

    Meow, meow, meow 😸😸
    It made me think of “Duetto buffo di due gatti” (Italian for “Humorous Duet for Two Cats”).

    Have you ever seen this? If not, I’ll leave the version I like in the “cup beat” thread.

    Dear Rock Class

    Thank you for your lessons. I enjoy learning to play the uke with your songs.

    My attempt at Hawaii-5-O for the August challenge:

    Best wishes

    Thank you all so much! Your replies were so nice, I kind of wanted to cry when I read them. 😅 Thank you! But I want to write a little reply to everyone.


    @annemarie
    , haha!! Thank you so much! I was chuckling to myself “like” a psycho when I was making some of those. 😂 Thank you, is that what they used to say on the show Mary Tyler Moore, “moxy”? Someone said I was like her once in a café I used to work at. Thank you!! 😅


    @gi_gi_
    hahaha!!! I’m so glad you liked it and found it as funny as I hoped you would!! 😂😅😂💕 Your kind words mean a lot to me, I really appreciate you saying that. 😊 Haha!!! At that point, it was getting so late and I hadn’t eaten, so hangriness set in but I didn’t want anyone to think the cats were harmed since the last image was them attacking each other. 😂😅😂😅😂 Oh I’m cry laughing now too. 😂 Also that last image was going to be way worse than that but I know rc101 is rated PG, so I toned it down a bit. 😅😂😂


    @dianna
    , haha!!! Facts. That entry started out so simple and spiralled so fast. 😂😅😂


    @Andrew
    , thank you so much! That means so much that you say that and that you found it funny. 😂😅 I don’t know why, I thought you specifically might find certain of those images of the cats funny, like the ones where they’re fighting. 😂


    @marianne
    , haha! Thank you! I pounded out those illustrations so quickly last night because I didn’t have a lot of time to do them. 😂


    @johanna2509
    , oh my, are you serious?! That is so, so funny that you also do that!! 😂 I choose the cat idea for a variety of reasons, but it mostly had to do with my sadness that I wasn’t able to really sing the song normally and I wanted to try something very alternative. 😂 My friends who have seven cats also have a keyboard that makes cat sounds when you play it and I was trying to channel the synthesized sound of that “meow.” 😅😂 Thank you so much! I also really love cats and wanted to illustrate what their fur-iendships are like: cuddling mixed with random street fighting. 😂💕


    @katazumiri
    , I have heard that!! I went and listened to it in the thread. Thank you for comparing my little entry to that, although that is so much more beautiful to me! Next time I’ll start a separate thread for my longer reply like you did. Anyway thank you! 😊💕

    Sorry that post also spiraled so fast. I wrote this so fast. 😅 I just get really excited talking about these things. Thank you again so much! 😊💕
