This surely does not reflect the hours & hours of practice. For the moment, it is all there is in me.
Everyone be blessed this season.
Thank you, Andrew & many friends for the love & support this past year.
I am doing Blue Christmas for this challenge and i played more two instruments which were the classical guitar and keyboard. I recorded the audio and video seperately so they might not be in sync so pls cooperate. I practiced for the whole month and i took the whole day to edit it (making the video sync with the audio ). Hope i win the kanilea! And also Andrew can you give me some feedback on my performance?
Link :Just testing if this works.. I submited two post but they are not shown here.. is it because of the link?

And here comes another white christmas in an ugly sweater.
Just bought this wonderful Brüko uke two days ago from the fabric where this couple builds them.
I am quite content with my first upload here. This is the third try, the first two ones I was too nervous playing for my camera 🙂
I´d be grateful for any feedback. The past three months on rc101 I was able to learn a tremendous amount and everybody I play your arrengements for finds them very beautiful. I am very glad I found this site.Happy Hollidays everybody 🙂
@smokealot – sorry! sometimes they get stuck in “needing approval”.
Thank you Andrew for creating Rock Class 101. You have made it possible for all of us to enjoy a musical instrument with amazing tutoring.
@elixir – give them time. They have a lot of entries to get through, but they always get there in the end.
@elixir – I’ll be working on feedback tonight 🙂 Sorry we’ve been MIA. I’ve been working on future lessons and Stephen’s out for the count… he’s got a bad bug. AJ’s gonna help out this weekend!

Because of school, I finally took Stephen’s advice and gave myself a 10 minute time limit to learn and record one of the songs.

Here is everyone on page 10.
armiefox – Great job! So earlier this month I made a couple videos for members on increasing sustain. Here’s the first one and the second one. Check out those videos and see if you can apply it to your performance, especially in measures 5 and 6. Other than that, watch out for the timing. Try and play along with the tab player for that.
stfesta – Nice job! I recommend keeping the timing a little bit more consistent. Some songs lend themselves to sounding well when you speed up and slow down in sections. For example, one that comes to mind is “Malagueña”. But for this song, I think it would sound a little better with a steady and slow paced tempo.
rickeymike – Great job lining up the lyrics to the melody! I know we talked about this back and forth in email, but I really can’t tell that you even struggled with it. Major props!
turkgoose – Well played, great feel! The only critique I have is that there are a couple pauses in the music, so go back and address those spots. But overall that was awesome, keep up the great work!
dorabr – Bravo, that was an excellent first entry! If I have to really nitpick your performance, I’d say this: I want you to listen back to it and notate where the notes or chords cut short, instead of sustaining into each other. Now this doesn’t happen all the time, but at the times it did, you want to fix it by keeping finger pressure applied for the entire duration of the note value, instead of lifting up prematurely. But overall, awesome job and I look forward to watching your next one!
jonathan_gabel – Here’s my feedback for you 🙂
nosferatu – Very well played! Love the laid-back feel.
Here is everyone on page 11.
dal08260 – Well done! I think you’ll find this feedback interesting 🙂
ukuleleluke – That was fun to watch! You have a real cheerful vibe to your playing. The only thing I can suggest is to memorize it so you can focus 100% on how you are playing it. Keep up the great work!
peiching – Definitely not painful, quite the contrary! It was very beautiful 🙂 You have a great feel and tone. As far as that tricky transition: any time you have trouble going from one chord (or measure) to the next, apply the 3 steps from our practice guide to that section and you’ll get it down in no time! Keep up the great work!
And thank you so much for your donation! Please email me the amount so I can keep the tally up to date 🙂
joannetala – Thank you for the kind words and your continued support, Joanne! I have to say that I am very impressed with how far you’ve come with understanding rhythm and timing. I remember in previous challenges, that that was the area I recommended you work on. And it’s clear to me that you are really starting to understand duration of note values. Well done this month, keep up the great work!
mfaske – Here is my feedback for you. And here is the lesson I referred to.
