@marlongas – You kicked off our November challenge with not 1, but 3 amazing performances! Great playing all around Carlos! 👏

@deadbuggy – Beautifully played Sara! ❤️

@lucauka – BIG improvements on timing! Well done and great note clarity and fingerpicking too Luca!

@jbmills07 – Beautifully played Justin and love the reverb lushness too 🙂

@misterbones – That was awesome Michael! You aced it! I have a funny story on the whole tone scale, I once played a theater gig with two of my instructors from music college. It was a 13 piece band and one of my instructors was on lead guitar. He made a joke at rehearsal that he makes money teaching whole tone scale in class but playing pentatonic at gigs 😂

@darktoto – Beautifully played Thomas! I shared your performance in our newsletter this week 🙂

@annemarie – It sounds great on baritone Anne! You played it beautifully! Great job on all of the techniques in it! The only thing I would work on is smoothing out measure 8. That’s the hardest bar in the tune, IMO. Take it slow and try to keep the tempo steady.

Hello. This is my attempt with this etude. I hope you all can see this.

Fingerpicking etude no. 1.

[ukefinlandgirl]

Thank you Andrew for this beautiful and relaxing etude. This is a really good start for a beginner fingerstyle player. I played this slowly, because it is really important to be patient with yourself.

I have done so many of the RockClass101 etudes and very much enjoyed adding this one to the collection. Here’s Fingerpicking Etude 35. I’m not a huge fan of tunes that just fade out instead of actually ending, so I modified it just a bit to give it an actual ending.

My sweet little pup liked this one too 💖

@ukefinlandgirl – Beautifully played! An excellent first post Tara! Hope to hear more from you 🙂

@hiouke – Absolutely lovely take, well done 👏

@willw18 – You nailed the haunting feel of the piece and the arpeggiated technique. Beautifully played, Will!

@suekulele – This might be the most adorable video we’ve ever had, I loved it! Great playing too, Sue!

I picked Etude #36 to participate this time, to work on the three finger technique and on pull-offs.
There’s so much fun and excitement on these challenges. I’m already anxious for the next one. Bring it on!

P.S. I tried to post this earlier today but it doesn’t show up, so trying again.

Cheers!

Hi.

Great job @ruiafonso70.

You played etude36 with a different time signature instead of the original.

that was great.

[ukefinlandgirl]

Hi @shmu88.

Amazing playing and great job for keeping steady tempo.

You nailed it.

I rarely play my baritone. I enjoyed learning to play this piece.

@ruiafonso70 – Fingerpicking sounds great Rui! Rhythmically, you switched it up quite a bit. If this wasn’t intentional, I’d recommend playing along with Matt in the tab player and counting the rhythms out-loud as you go along.

@shmu88 – Nailed it Sam! Great feel too!

@planetfink – Really nicely played Kathy! Your instrument has such a nice, deep tone too! The only thing I can suggest is fine tuning the A Melody. There’s a few spots where I’m not hearing each note as crystal clear as I’d like. Try slowing the tempo and listening out for note clarity.
