    Everyone’s submissions are so good.

    @shmu88
    That was incredible. Wow… made me go pick up my uke to play ☺️. Loved it.

    @willw18
    Your baritone sounds nice. Great job.

    @leb397
    Enjoy the warm weather. You played that so sweetly. Very nice.

    @deadbuggy

    @karenj

    Hi All,

    Here’s my rendition of Daybreak. I love the sound of the open chords, and I chose to strum with my index finger instead of thumb since I preferred that brighter sound with this song. Please do not include me for the drawing this month. Thanks!


    @willw18
    it sounded great on the baritone! Well done!

    @shmu88 – I’d say it was magical! That was awesome Sam! My only suggestion would be to experiment with playing it at a slightly slower tempo. You may find it breathes more.


    @leb397
    – I loved it Louisa! So beautifully played, I’m gonna share your performance in our newsletter this Friday 🙂


    @willw18
    – Aced it Will! You play with such great feel and tone!


    @anyon1
    – Index finger works! The cool thing about playing uke is that there’s so many options available to us in how we choose to play a piece and what matters is using proper form and tone/feel. You nailed both! It was absolutely beautiful played Adriana!


    @aletski
    – Great to see you back Alet! Strumming and chunks sound great! Only thing I’d suggest working on is the ending lick. Try this: loop the last 4 bars in the tab player and try to match my playing as best you can. It’s a little tricky rhythm and feel wise. But that approach should help you get it!

    Congrats, @leb397! It was a lovely rendition, played well. I’m ready to submit a video of the same song – just have to have a few quiet minutes to do one.

    So many great entries this month, as usual. I love hearing what everyone’s doing.


    @The_Bumble_Bard
    : Are you still frozen in? We beat our record of being snowbound this year, going twelve days without being able to get down our driveway. Our area doesn’t get that many snowfalls a season, so it’s hopelessly ill-prepared to handle one when it happens. And our road is last on the priority grid, so by the time they get to us, the road is a solid sheet of ice (winding down a hill, with a lake at the bottom).

    @grannieannie thank you. Yikes you must be tired of the snow bound life! Sounds like a lovely place in S,S,Fall.
    We will be heading north soon… I highly recommend the winter break 🌞☺️. Look forward to your entry.

    Here’s my rendition of the Magic Ukulele Waltz. I learned it on my regular uke, but then thought it sounds cool on the Bajolele, kind of adds to the vintage-esque vibe of the tune. I also felt like playing it somewhat slower and adding a light swing feel, just liked how that sounded.
    Please no giveaway entry for me this month. Thanks!
