    This has been a fun one as I tried to learn a little bit of each available option, but Etude in E Minor (in A Minor) is the one I could actually complete!

    WOW, my fingers are about to fall off! First time I ever learnt to play a solo with a backing track, quite tricky at first, so much fun though. Loved every minute of this challenge!

    Thanks for fabulous pieces of music.

    James Bond in 75% speed.

    It is the most difficult song I’ve ever played with Ukulele.
    Without Andrew’s detailed explanation, I would not have made it.
    Especially, if Andrew did not mention that it was his one of 5 favorite songs, I would not have chosen this song.

    One-month practice seems insufficient for me so I will keep practicing. 🙂
    On the other hand, all other participants look like professional. They feel vibe and enjoy the playing while I am busy to follow music sheet and back-rhythm.
    I hope I can play like you shortly.

    Thanks for the helpful feedback Andrew. It’s invaluable and special that you take the time to feedback personally. I can’t emphasise enough how much this is appreciated.

    I have been working on Etude in Em for the last 2-3 weeks, some of that practice was in the car
    while traveling for Thanksgiving Holiday week!
    I have it pretty much memorized but my fingers have a mind of their own, especially when recording!
    I still have work to do on the mobility of my fingers but I feel I have made progress.

    Hello,

    This month I decided to learn “Etude in E Minor”, and had lots of fun playing it. It’s such a simple yet amazing piece. I have also attached two files as I recorded the two themes separately. Also, there is quite a lot of background noise because I had to record them outside.

    Thanks,
    Riley

    Hi Sarrafina. I love the dramatic lighting against the black background. Well done!

    Well, it came down to the wire for me this month, but alas here is my recording of Etude in Eminor. I would have loved to give Valse Venezolano No. 2 a better stab, but I couldn’t spare the time to get it down and do it some kind of justice this month.

    Still, this was really a great piece to work on and though and deceptively difficult to execute well. My understanding and execution of dynamics, vibrato, and rubato, could still use work, but I am all in all pretty pleased with the performance.

    I think my first post might not have made it through, so submitting again just in case! I enjoyed learning Etude in E minor this month.
