Here is Fingerpicking Etude No. 37. I only learnt it yesterday because I’ve had a very busy month. Consequently, I didn’t feel very comfortable while recording. Hopefully, I will find more time to practise for the challenge next month.

Hi Uke Friends, I have enjoyed listening to everyone’s submissions this month. As always, I’m so impressed with all the hard work, commitment and talent! This month I worked on Dock of The Bay….and here it is already the end of the month……so here goes. Fun little piece….thanks to Matt and Rockclass101 for a great arrangement.

@andrew thank you, your helpful suggestion makes perfect sense. I have slowed it down and am making sure my strum is steady and am able to keep my left hand in sync. Will gradually pick up speed.

I bought this flea ukulele because I could take it on the boat. The flea marketing materials failed to mention that the boat might be such a handful that I wouldn’t be able to practice. So I picked the Travis picking etude. I didn’t want to miss out on the contest.

Finally picked up my uke after 6 months of not playing. Ive been working on this all month but can’t get a clean take – This is the best one. Happy spring everyone!

@nelsonlin2021 Thank you so much for your compliments and taking on my composition! Agree with Andrew that you nailed the intro and the feel!

@leb397 lovely performance and thank you!! The banjo ukulele is so cool

@The_Bumble_Bard the honor is mine. Thanks again for your kind words and for selecting the piece. You played it beautifully and absolutely did it justice! Very proud

@brettboy Your take sounds wonderful! Thanks for picking that and capturing the feel so well! It’s so cool seeing how everyone interprets it in their own way, giving it their own touch

@otzepeng thank you! Your take on Duality is gorgeous

@bohdan Lovely performance. The intro is flowing very fluidly. Thank you!

Everyone aced it!

Hi, I chose “The dock of the bay”. Great arrangement, and I love the song. 🙂

Here’s my attempt at Duality.

I liked the story behind this composition and of course Evan makes it sound beautiful. I spent most of the month trying to master the accompaniment, but I couldnt get the Cmaj bar code shape at any speed (the minor was easier, but also slow), so I switched to the lead at the last minute – hence a bit unrehearsed.

Thanks for yet another great monthly challenge!

Hello everyone,

For this month’s challenge I chose the dreamy Etude 37. This fingerpicking pattern will stay with me 🙂 Thank you for challenging me to learn it.

Hi, this is my challenge submission for this month. I tried both 3-finger and 4-finger but concluded that I like 4-finger technique more because I felt I could sustain the sound a bit better.
