Here’s my take on Sleepwalk. I loved learning it, thanks for the arrangement 🙂

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

June 22, 2021 at 1:46 pm #47441AndrewKeymaster@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.
June 23, 2021 at 4:56 am #47453andrewvhParticipant……And if you’re interested, here’s where I was at in 2019 (just the intro).
June 23, 2021 at 4:17 pm #47458debb1985MemberI went for Sleep Walk this month. Really love the vibe of this song and it is super fun to play!
June 24, 2021 at 12:08 am #47459qiuyanParticipantThank you @bomarkt ! I was also at 30%-50% speed for a loooong time, and I at best can reach around 70% now.
June 24, 2021 at 2:40 am #47460sebi75Member@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.
