but not a premium player…
I’m so sorry to have uploaded a video with such a bad image and sound quality.
But as my best friend 🐶 was sitting next to me and helping me through my many mistakes I thought that I have to upload it to say thanks for his patience during all my practicing sessions…To all you guys here at RC101… I wish you all a merry Christmas 🤶🏼🎄🎅🏼, all the best for the coming year and hopefully better performances from me… 🙃
I want to say thank you to you, Andrew, and to all the members of your team. I LOVE LOVE LOVE your site and even if my progress is not to be seen I will continue and follow your lessons and hopefully one day…
Thanks @santai 🙂 Merry Christmas to you and yours (dog included!).
For those of you who mentioned being nervous in front of the camera — the struggle is real! It does get better over time, though even after a year of monthly challenges, I still run into issues and memory lapses when recording. On one of my recordings this month I paused after “I’ll have a …” because I couldn’t remember what colour the Christmas was supposed to be. But it’s in the discomfort that we grow; it’s through our mistakes that we learn. So keep pushing yourself!
Wishing you all the best!
My entry for the December challenge 😊
I’ve started using a metronome recently and I still find it a bit difficult, so I’m interested what you’re going to say about my timing in this video 🙈

Hi Andrew!
Thanks for the feedback. I recognize what you pointed out and will check out the link when I find your response, lol. I feel like I focus more on memorization of notes more than technique but I think I’ll get there eventually. I have to keep practicing! Merry Christmas!

Below is my try at “White Christmas”
This is my very first post here, and I am supprised how hard it is to record yourself. Far from perfect, but what I managed. Thank you for the push to get playing!
Merry Christmas!
Wow! the posts are coming in fast and furious. I can’t keep up but I watched every one. Nice job by ALL.
Nat: I wish you would have said “decorations of GREEN on a RED Christmas tree. I’ve always wanted a red Christmas tree when I was little. haha.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to the whole Rock Class community.

On the very last day, but I made it. Greensleeves is a song which was on my list to learn to play in the Ukulele, so I’m glad i got the chance now.
Merry Christmas everybody and a very happy New Year to all of you!

Here is my rendition of White Christmas — think more Bing Crosby, not swing…

By the way, I’m still working on playing with more emotion. In case you think I finally achieved that in the last 4 measures of this one, that’s not what was going on… Having scrapped several recordings, and the almost good one that I deleted after an Amazon Prime truck with thumping bass visited the next door neighbor and excited my dogs…., I was determined not to stop this recording even though I was about to be overtaken by a coughing fit.
Andrew, I’ll send you numbers for my Ukulele Kids Club donation and company match.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, everyone.

Another “thank you, Andrew” for the great feedback! It appears to me you are the natural born teacher, at least I find it amazing how cheerful you keep giving such productive and encouraging feedback.
I appreaciate it a lot as it keeps me wanting to get the best out of my playing.One more time: peaceful holidays 🙂

Andrew, I donated yesterday to the ukulele kids club. I did a $50 donation that is going to recur every year. It’s a great organization I’m happy to support them.
As for my video, and I’m finally getting it in on time compared to last month. I was up to the wee hours working on the video and then I had to go to work, so I’m getting it in now but as long as it’s before your East Coast time I’m good! I was more challenged by this song then I thought I would be. because I guess, when it comes to finger style, I am still a beginner. But I feel like I improved a lot working on this song.
Thanks for the great lessons Andrew!
Uke On!
