    Thanks @nthibode! I loved your performance as well!

    Hey Rickey! Yes! still in the States and correct, we’re in South Carolina! You could tell that from the background, right? 🙂

    Hi everyone, okay so I got a strap and I learned how to read music so here is my entry for February’s challenge:

    Oh, not too good, but I did make progress!

    Did I get the link right?

    Hey Nat,That was pretty. I’ve loved Greensleeves since I first heard it as a kid when my dad took me to see the movie “How The West Was Won”.

    Thanks @stinyuke and @rickeymike! I grew up hearing the tune at church in French, so I always hear it as “Quel est l’enfant qui est né ce soir…”

    Hi Andrew,
    I live in Australia.
    I am 13 years old and I love to play the ukulele. I’m very happy to join my first challenge and I hope to win the islander ukulele.

    Maybe someone needs a bit of encouragement tonight, as I. The beautiful melody rings in my head but does not transfer to my “less than nimble” fingers. Richest blessings upon all of you this night.

    Thank you, Andrew, for being a great teacher & dear friend to us all.

    Background accompaniment is patter of Cocker Spaniel, Maddie’s feet, dear husband Tom’s oxygen compressor & his picking up few dishes left in sink. Lol.

    Goodnight, again!

    Whoops and dang it. I forgot to pluck with my index and middle fingers. Instinct took over and reverted to thumb only.

    Andrew-

    I have a quick, probably really stupid, question.

    Is the 75% bass track in Bourree set at 97.5 bpm or do the % tracks get rounded up or down?

    I’m guessing the percentage tracks are made using Ableton Live (because it’s magic) rather than recording 3 times, but I wasn’t sure.

    I’m probably over-thinking this. I failed at getting 130 bpm down for the challenge entry so I needed to change gears.

    Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe that speed does not count. I believe Andrew states that he wants us to be more conscious of consistent timing.

    Speed doesn’t count Maria!
    No worries!!!

    I’m messing around with production and mixing in my daw software and the bpm fraction threw me off.

    Me failing at playing at 130 bpm was a personal goal I set because I’m making something complicated, just not this month.
