Here is everyone on page 8 that we haven’t gotten to yet.
lakeside339 – Performance sounds great! The only thing I can suggest is to work on boosting the tempo. Keep up the good work 🙂
john316 – Well done! So there’s a few parts where you hesitate or slow down, I’d target my practice on those areas. Use the tab player to loop the phrase, slow it down to a speed you’re comfortable with, and rinse and repeat 😉
seoulkim – Great job on the lead! I’d work on lightening up your picking attack. I talked about that concept in the video below. While it covers a different song, the same principles apply for this tune.
ealtman – Glad to hear you’re getting back into playing, Elizabeth! Sounds great overall! I’d memorize it, so you can focus more so on keeping it steady.
jeng18 – Here is my feedback for you and here is the lesson and course I referenced.
brithor – Sounds great, Bri! I think the way that you’re holding the uke is limiting your ability to play. I’d use a strap or adjust the way you’re holding it as follows:
Here’s a video I made earlier this year to help another member out. Here is the first and second lesson I recommend reviewing.
bemarlie – Sounds great! I’d slow the tempo down to focus on cleaning up your playing and getting some of the rhythms a little bit more accurate, like the triplet strum.
lisa-k – Sounds great! I’d work a little bit on getting a playful vibe – I made this video earlier this month for another member which demos and talks about getting that feel.
@pika80019 – Your video is private. Can you make it public?
Friendly Reminder – The deadline for receiving feedback and an entry into the giveaway is tonight at 11:59 PM EST (check your local time zone).
@karenj – No worries, I got you! Here’s my feedback for you 🙂
@jeng18 – Please upload your video to YouTube and share the link here. Our upload feature is only meant for photos.
@katazumiri – That’s better! Although, some are still a bit off. I’d recommend a Skype lesson with Stephen. Working one on one with us will help as we’d be able to explain the rhythms in real time and help you get them down 🙂
biancak – The practice paid off! That was excellent! You nailed the feel of the piece, bravo!
@lbilkie – That was excellent overall! The only thing I’d suggest is to loop the sections where you hesitate a bit. Mainly bars 5 & 6.
@unlegendaryn00b – Well done! Sounds great overall! Couple things to point out: Double check the chord in measure 8. And the ending has some pull-offs, try to do them a little bit lighter. In other words, use less force when pulling-off. Check out this lesson, it’ll cover the basics on that technique.
I’d also recommend playing along with Matt in the tab player. Try 4 or 8 bar sections at a time. His playing will act as a guide to help you to get it to flow even better. But overall again, bravo! Keep up the great work 🙂
@misskika – Sorry to hear about your finger! Hope you heal soon and you can always share your performance of B&TB in this forum. You did a great job on the new tune, sounds beautiful!
@cncamacho – Sounds great! I’d keeping working on the 2nd melody to keep it a bit more steady and maybe boost the tempo a notch.
@mademoiselleannette – Well done! This song is a bit tough with the barres and the jumps. And you aced those! Keep rockin’! 🙂Here’s the rest of the folks on page 5 we hadn’t gotten to yet.
lhamilton – Wow, Linda! You are a really good at whistling. You aced the uke playing, too. Absolutely beautiful. I sent it to Ashely to watch. She’ll love it 🙂
katazumiri – Here is my feedback for you and here is the course that I referenced.
gstriph – I think this is one of the strongest performances I’ve heard from you, Jerry! It was really good! Great feel and a clear understanding of the rhythms is evident – which is a little tricky on this one. I’d say keep doing what you’re doing and aim for gradual increases in tempo. Keep rockin’!
@malku2603 – Fantastic, you played it so well! I do have one tip for you. When you get to Melody 2, try to practice that section along to a metronome. Start at a slow tempo and loop the first 2 bars. Your goal is to keep it steady and eliminate any pauses. Keep up the great work!
@joe150 – Sounds good, Joe! My goal for you is to memorize it. Then you can focus 100% on playing it instead of playing plus reading.
@emiliano – I agree with you, those are prob some of the most difficult slides I’ve encountered. As always, your playing sounds great! I’d just continue practicing at a slower tempo to clean it up a bit. Happy early bday!
@ccwuke – Here is my feedback for you 🙂
@marianne – Bravo! That was very impressive. Great feel and great note clarity. Well done!
