Hello,

This is my attempt of Freight Train. This is a great uke version of the song, and I love playing it.

Thanks,

Hi there,
I joined RC101 a month ago and jumped straight into this challenge of Yankee Doodle. Only had my uke for about 2 months so still figuring things out. Pretty much everything was new so had to keep jumping around your tutorials to get the basics. Now I’ll have to go back and actually do all the leg work in your lessons (they’re great by the way).
I only managed 2 complete play throughs when recording. The second slightly quicker. Both have a fair few things to work on. Like almost everyone else the final tapped harmonic was seriously tricky and I don’t think I ever fully got it. Look forward to doing more.
1st complete play through:

My first submission to the monthly challenge! A slightly too fast freight train, perhaps 😅

Think it’s a fair representation of where I’m at with this one. To my ear I have better versions on audio where I don’t have so many mutes (the one post slide in bar 6 grates a bit as does the imperfection at end of the lovely descent in bar 15!) but enjoying combatting video performance jitters!

Thanks for the tutorial Andrew and everyone for their versions here, have learnt a lot. It’s a big step up in my playing, for sure and well worth being a PREMIUM MEMBER for. 😀

Wow everyone is so impressive!

So now it’s about 3 months altogether, after the People are Strange challenge. Congrats to Lisa who won that one! Here is my 12TH STREET RAG. Loved it. Thanks Chris.

I loved the sound of this one on my wee lil soprano.

I look forward to illustrating for the winner of the challenge after this 😉

Loved the Entertainer after hearing it played on the piano when I was young. Glad to be able to play it now on my uke.

and I am late.
Summer is not a good time for challenges. No time for practicing 🙂 I tried the Entertainer. No harmonics for now.

This month’s challenge was really fun! After looking back on my progress from just 3 months ago I have improved so much thanks to Rockclass101’s amazing team! Here is my go at freight train (sorry for the bad mic)

Hope I win!

Also, is the winner going to be announced in a live stream on August 5th or just posted in the forms?

[Andrew]

@b_ukes_101 – It’ll be posted here, no live stream and prob before the 5th, as soon as we get through leaving feedback 🙂
