Well gang, again, this was the first take. I practiced this piece over 50 times this month and I thought I had it down and to my ears, I did. Then I watched this video. Those abrupt stops (staccato?) after the strum that I thought would be so cool by imitating a Flamenco dancer’s 1-2-3 stomp just sounded way too loud. And believe me I didn’t realize that I picked the entire song with my index finger. Also a few short memory blanks causing pauses where there shouldn’t have been.
Becky7777 – Still looking forward to hearing what you post. This group is so good because we all get to move forward together. Hey – today its torrential rain (we got a month’s rainfall in 2 hours) and quite cold (for us). There’s flash floods all over the city. So much for nice sunny weather.
Thanks incywincy and mheiden for your kind words
Here’s my second entry, working more on my finger picking in this video.

I am finally a premium member and it makes me very happy! 9 dollars may not seem like a lot but in my country’s currency and for a jobless student like me, this is an accomplishment, lol. Anyways, just want to say that I love this community and I love playing the uke, it brings me a joy that I need right now.
Here is my submission for La gitanita, at first I was sad that I couldn’t play Moon because of the low G string, but I REALLY enjoyed playing this one. It’s so much fun. I feel like I have improved a lot already thanks to RC101. To anyone reading this, have a wonderful day!!

This is my November challenge piece: Lla Gitanita. I am able to play it up to tempo (finally!) but I haven’t been able to get a good recording at tempo. So I am submitting this from two weeks ago. Thanks for the challenge!
(Hopefully I did it right this time)I’ve had little time this month to practise so am going to sit out this month rather than try to cobble together a hot mess. Shame as I started the month well.
So many impressive entries so far. I’ve really loved seeing so many people participate 😁

Hi guys, my name is Jakub.
I have joined ROCKCLASS101 two months ago, but I had a lot to catch-up (and I still do).
So this is my first participation. Hope you’ll like it.Hi guys, this is the second post I made for the challenge, this is a very beautiful song, but it is little bit too difficult to me, and I still need to practice more 🙂
Hi everyone
Just had a chance to listen to the postings early in the month (having been away for the first 2 1/2 weeks) Wow, I’m so impressed. What a great community – ukulele players are the best.
I’m impressed that so many put their postings up so early in the month.
jakeypoo – you’re amazing! And such a cute uke.
nggnmmm – looks like fun with that new uke. I’m sure you’ve solved the low G issue – but I was thinking – if you think its the right pitch – maybe you just tuned the high G string down an octave. That would make the string way to loose to give a good sound. You need a new string that is especially to be a low G. Just a thought! Nice playing though
deadbuggy – love the changes you made – particularly extending the harmonics. I’m going to pinch that idea and see how it works in the quieter parts.
Robin – I really can’t wait for your full piece (with Tiffany! And the cat!) I like the idea of doing separate themes and then we see the final..
Jakub, great playing! It’s faster than I can manage…I’m a bit envious. 😉
I love your uke! Is that the Enya EUC—MAD? I really really like that blue.
