    @kanique – Very beautifully played Dorota! Bravo 👏


    @mark1256
    – You played it wonderfully, Mark! The only thing I’d suggest would be playing along with Steven in the tab player. Try one section at a time. That’ll help smooth out the timing and rhythm.


    @ruiafonso70
    – Your timing and rhythm was great on this tune! I’m very impressed b/c you’ve made a BIG improvement over the last tune. So def keep doing what you’re doing, it’s working! One tip for the double stops, try strumming through just a touch faster so they don’t sound as arpeggiated.

    And TY so much for the kind words, we really appreciate it!

    @rgillof – Beautifully played Richard! My only suggestion would be to target your practice on those two spots where you paused on the transition. TY so much for the donation! 🙂

    This is my first post, and my first challenge. And, I am first-time musician of any type. I am also a stroke survivor, so my fingers do not always do what they are told! I have changed to a Low G, and wanted to play on the Baritone (tuned as an Octave lower standard uke), but I just could not make the stretch. Thanks for bearing with me!

    Hi everyone!

    I chose Feliz Navidad this month and really enjoyed learning this arrangement. 😊 The chorus section is quite challenging in comparison to the verse. I’m still struggeling a bit to get a loud sound out of the slides (especially measure 11 with the g chord shape).
    This time I used a different recording setup again. 😅 I watched the Ableton tutorial from the recording guide and I was surprised how much of a difference the living room reverb and the acoustic compressor make. I was kinda overwhelmed with all the audio effects and which reverb to choose from that big list of in-built reverbs. 😅 I guess now I finally have a setup to work with. 😊 However, I am not completely satisfied with the result, mainly because of the low g string being way to loud and the a string being sooo quiet. I tried an equalizer, but reducing the lows makes it sound a bit flat… Anyways, time is up so I live with that version now. 😅

    I have yet to get that tap down…it sounds more like a sleigh crashing, but it’s a work in progress.

    Thank you for another great year. I have my Improvement Plan ready for 2025!

    Cheers, all!

    That was for Katazumiri. The body percussion version. I’ll get the hang of this one day!
