Can not you hear it? I’ll try to upload another one in a while
June 21, 2018 at 9:20 pm #17386AndrewKeymasterisialval, looks like it is working now! Excellent performance, great feel in your playing. If you’ve just started practicing, as in just started… then keen it up! Very well done 🙂
June 22, 2018 at 2:16 am #17400isialvalParticipantgreat :), thank you! I’ll continue practicing
June 23, 2018 at 5:09 pm #17414jlbrossParticipantHave the waltz in C memorized. Now to smooth it out… a lot!
June 23, 2018 at 9:25 pm #17415kmeltonParticipantJune 24, 2018 at 3:17 am #17418vidafntnParticipantHi, Andrew,
Here is my entry for this month’s challenge. It is Waltz in C – but is actually in G because I am playing a baritone ukulele.
As usual, I am only entering for fun, not to win anything.
I am also working on Allegro, but it will not be ready for posting by the end of the month.Regards,
Vida Fenton
June 24, 2018 at 4:47 pm #17421suzie1ParticipantI had a tough time doing this because I’m a very beginner. Messed up a few times and can’t afford a premium membership right now so I had to learn the 2nd half of the song just by watching the beginning of the tutorial, so I might’ve missed some notes or two. But I definitely had fun trying and will most definitely work on getting it better. 🙂
June 24, 2018 at 4:52 pm #17422AndrewKeymasterHey Suzie, I just set up your account with premium for the next month 🙂 Thanks for participating and I look forward to watching your performance!
June 24, 2018 at 5:23 pm #17424jlbrossParticipantI am impressed. Nice job
June 24, 2018 at 6:45 pm #17425trmzbgParticipantHere is my allegro ^^ It took me only 50 times to record it xD
June 25, 2018 at 1:45 am #17430suesbarnParticipantMy attempt at allegro. Hard to keep it to 120, as it seems easier to go too fast! Also difficult to get wide range of dynamics with a uke, I am finding, but working on it.
June 25, 2018 at 4:14 am #17432kanae926ParticipantSuzie, you put all that together without access to the second half of the lesson or the tab viewer?! That is amazing! Brava!
Am I alone in finding it hard to memorize the pieces? (@_@)
I’m impressed with all the submissions!
June 25, 2018 at 3:06 pm #17443suzie1ParticipantAndrew, wow thanks so much, I will put it to good use!! Thank you!
June 26, 2018 at 6:35 pm #17486AndrewKeymasterLove seeing so many performances come in 🙂 Here is my feedback.
Kevin, I have attached a video below with feedback for you. Let me know if you have any questions.
Vida, I have also attached a video below with feedback for you. Let me know if you have any questions.
Suzie, amazing job figuring that out on your own, bravo! The video I left for Vida above will give you a few great ideas about the feel of the piece, which I think you did well on overall. But, try the advice from that video and try to keep it consistent as you apply it to the A and B melody.
The other thing I wanted to point out, was that I noticed you doing a partial barre on strings 1 and 2 in the A melody (bars 1 – 4). I’d encourage you to stay on the fingertip of the index finger, playing only the first string throughout that section. In my opinion, it’s a better approach.
trmzbg, awesome performance! Great picking form and overall feel. And don’t sweat it, sometimes it takes me 50 takes too 🙂
Sue, great job on this one! The only thing that I would work on is taping a little harder for the percussive hits, as they sounded a bit too quiet. Also, how are you recording? It sounds like there is a weird effect on your uke…
June 26, 2018 at 7:03 pm #17488trmzbgParticipantWell , playing guitar for 1 – 2 years defnetly paid off for finger picking ukulele ^^
