    Hey guys, here is my take on Johnny B Goode… not as groovy as Brett’s unfortunately 😉

    @barbecueblack – Fantastic performance! I only have a couple suggestions for you. First, I’d work on cleaning up your playing a little bit, specifically eliminating buzzy notes. And there’s a few pauses, so target your practice in those transition areas.


    @morrieuke1
    – I love that tremolo/reverb sound. Fits this song perfectly! And your performance was excellent, you aced this one! Well done!


    @bethany_guardiani
    – I think that’s one of the best fingerstyle performances I’ve heard from you! The best advice I can give is to keep doing what you doing. It’s really cool hearing you progress 🙂

    I do have one suggestion: try to keep the ending ritardando a little bit more linear in its flow. Again really good job this month, keep up the great work!


    @brettboy
    – This has to be one of my favorite performances from you! The changes you added were very tasteful, and as always, the feel/vibe is spot on. I’m definitely going to share this this week!


    @biancak
    – Excellent performance! And great feel to your playing too!


    @shmu88
    – Your take was great, Sam! One of the reasons we do so many band arrangements is because it’s a great way to work on timing and groove.

    While this arrangement was presented as a solo piece, there’s usually an array of backing tracks you can find on YouTube. Here’s a great one that I’d practice along with. It’ll help you develop both of those areas:

    Here’s my take on Rock Around the Clock. Very happy song to learn! A few rhythms off, and it’s harder than I originally expected from the tab (yeah I later noticed it’s level 3…) And somehow my left hand get tired more quickly when practicing this song, probably due to the bar chords.

    So, Johnny B. Goode. I had a head start with this one. I tried to learn it a couple of years ago before I had premium membership. I was quite proud of the result and even made a video of my progress. Two years later and with more resources available, I think it has improved considerably.

    So here’s this month’s entry.

    ……And if you’re interested, here’s where I was at in 2019 (just the intro).

    I went for Sleep Walk this month. Really love the vibe of this song and it is super fun to play!

    Thank you @bomarkt ! I was also at 30%-50% speed for a loooong time, and I at best can reach around 70% now.

    @qiuyan good performance and I understand you, it is really harder than it looks. BTW, my left hand also gets tired very quickly when I play this song, 2 times and I have to take a break 🤷‍♂️.

    Hello, I started playing ukulele last August, 2020. I’m still pretty rough and have a long way to go with the style, but I am thrilled that I could play this song all the way through in one take (one of many tries!!) Sorry for the bird noises in the background – it’s impossible to keep parakeets quiet. I did have one question about the sound of my uke. I just converted this uke to a low G and it seems to me that the G-string overwhelms the sound of the other strings. Is that normal? Thank you in advance for any pointers on improving my playing.
