Participate in the November 2023 Member Challenge – WIN $935 Kanile’a

Thanks, Andrew! I will focus on those 8 measures. In measure 43, I couldn’t manage to maintain finger position and get the stretch to reach the D and get a clean slide, and that made that section super-awkward with my improvised fingering. Need to work those finger-stretching exercises! And thanks for the reminder about the tag!

@jbmills07 I second everything The_Bumble_Bard said. Such a lovely heartfelt performance, really beautiful. Thank you! I also loved the Ziggy outtakes, especially your contortions to keep playing while she did her best to be the center of attention. What a sweet relationship you two have. Your dog, however, seemed somewhat less impressed…:)

[The_Bumble_Bard]

@jody_hendrickson, your performance was also really beautiful! Haha!! The part with the doggo entering so slowly and loudly with the claw-clicking, then staring, and just leaving, indeed completely unimpressed. Comedy gold. I forgot about that part. 😂😅

I chose to work on Path of the Wind
What a beautiful melody 😊

@jbmills07 loved it. Full of emotion and I couldn’t hear anything needing improvement. Ziggy out takes were so cute. He wasn’t feeling it this time or truly wanted your undivided attention.
I gave my fingers 2 days to recover 😪 the tips were starting to feel numb but your take was perfect

What a challenge this month! Everyone has done amazing.
On to December tomorrow!!!

I spent a while working on “Always With Me”, but couldn’t quite get it ready. Here’s “Avatar” instead 🙂

Pop…pop…pop…pop

My finger strength lasts about 4 takes and this one took me about 62637383 so forgive all the dead notes 😀

Beautiful song and beautiful arrangement! Thanks for putting this on my radar, Mika and Andrew!

PATH OF THE WIND
I didn’t have much time this month but I gave it a go! I know nothing about Anime bu I loved this
piece! I watched the movie “My Neighbor Totoro” the other day and thoroughly enjoyed it!

[denisedistefano]

@Andrew – Thank you so very much! You totally made my day. The choices for this month’s challenge were the most exciting to date for me. I really enjoyed it.

[leb397]

@marianne so pretty on the baritone and I love the changes you had to make. Well played.👏🎼👏

[marianne]

Thank you @leb397! And lovely job memorizing the piece!

[Andrew]

@omaon4 – Bravo Helga! This is my favorite performance from you to date! Amazing job on the A Melody. The B Melody sounds like it needs just a little more practice to bring it up to par with A. Overall, amazing playing! Great feel and tone throughout the entire tune 🙂

@ksapp92 – Excellent performance Kelby! Perfect job on the 1st and 3rd tune!

For the second tune, try playing along with Matt in the tab player for bars 7 and 11. The slides sound a bit off from the notation. Try looping those bars and matching his playing to get it down.

Way to go this month, keep up the great work!

@kirpuff – Amazing performance Sara! You did such an awesome job capturing the mood and feel of this magical piece. I loved it, keep up the great work!

@maryjanew – You played it beautifully MJ! Only thing I’d recommend is memorizing it. Work on one melody at a time. It doesn’t sound like it will take much work tho. Really good job this month 🙂

@denisedistefano – 😊
