Heyho Rockclass,

here comes my fresh attempt of “Always with me”.
It stills such a joyful tune and i think i reached my settled goals by playing it. I put some effects over it, i think it suites the song.

It’s great to see how time and practice effects in everyones playing here and thrilling to hear your tunes from the past in a “new-spring-dress”.

Hello!

Here’s my entry for this month’s challenge. A quick song because I didn’t have time to work a lot on it this month.

Cheers 🙂

@clempek – Great improvement on feel and fluidity, Clem! One suggestion, try playing it at a slower tempo. I think that will help the music breath more.

@otzepeng – WOW! Huge improvement! You’ve got it flowing beautifully and with great note and chord clarity. Fantastic work Markus! I dig the effect too, but I’d dial it down a notch. Less is more 🙂

@willw18 – Your fingerpicking attack is much better! It’s soft and sweet and fits the piece perfectly now. Watch out for the last note in bar 10, we’ve got a quarter note there, so you want to hold that a little longer. The other thing I’d suggest is to try playing this tune with a behind the beat feel. You’re very much on the beat now. Playing behind it will help give it a more relaxed feel.

@shmu88 – Your musicianship has 10x’d, Sam! The best compliment I can give is what I hear between your take from 4 years ago and now. Back then, it felt like you were just going through the motions of playing the notes, but now, you are performing music with emotion and feel!

Thank you for the friendly feedback (as always ☺️)I’ve got not much experience with daw’s, plugins etc. It’s more like: “Uhhh, whats that? Yeah – sounds nice! … And this here? Yes – sweet! ….and so on. It’s definitly fun to play around with all those effects and i’m sure, that i’ll use it more in the future but i will take more time and care for “natural sounding” results.

Here’s my latest attempt at Matt’s Crossing Hemispheres. I’m almost up to Matt’s tempo now and I’m happy with my improvement. Still working on it though.

@mark1256 – BIG improvements on tempo, fluidity, dynamic expression, and feel. Way to go Mark! Playing it on a concert was a good call. I love my concerts for that reason. The stretch chords are so much easier on them then tenors.

Hi,

I worked on Pineapple Uke Blues this month. I’d really enjoyed working on it the first time but had forgotten how to play it. I’m not sure how much better I now sound with it, but I find I’m playing it much more confidently — I’m sure my heart isn’t racing the way it did the first time I recorded it for RockClass101.

Here’s my second take on Santa Fe four yeas later. Quite an interesting experience for me to listen to both versions back to back. To be honest, when I started this project a couple of weeks ago, I didn’t expect that much of a difference between the two takes, so I kind of surprised myself.

Here is my update to Swan Lake. Still not perfect, but much smoother that before. I also added a “C” on the fourth string, although I think it would sound bette with a high G string.
