Here is everyone on page 8.
emiliano – Excellent interpretation. Every month your playing really impresses me, keep up the great work!
goody2shoes – Great start! Little more practice and you’ll smooth it out 🙂
Here’s everyone on page 7.
rockmyuke – Dennis, keep in mind that we are always our worst critic. I loved your interpretation. It was beautifully phrased and well played. Keep up the great work!
andrewvh – Great job, Andrew! It was cool to hear you throw in some of the concepts that Steven taught in the lesson, like vibrato.
I’d say, get it memorized so you can focus on how you want to splice in those concepts into the performance.
Catherine – Performance was great! Keep up the great work 🙂
celia21 – I like your use of rubato. Had a great natural feel, but be careful of having too much of a gap in between notes/phrases – which I head a couple times in the B Melody. Other than that it was great, keep up the good work!
eyka321 – Beautifully played! There were a couple spots you stumbled on, so just focus on cleaning those up in your practice. But otherwise, it was excellent!
timolnz – Performance sounds great, Tim! I would say that the notes sound a little bit punchy, which is indicative of plucking a little bit too strong/hard. But it’s hard to say if it’s you or just the audio recording being a bit hot.
Here’s a video you can check out that I made for another member in another challenge that talks about light verse soft attack:
goody2shoes – Sounds great, Joel! Well played 🙂
joe150 – This is one of the best takes I’ve heard from you, Joe! The melody sounds beautiful, but keep working on the ending of it. I’m really impressed with your performance this month, keep up the great work!
sylus9 – Here is my feedback for you and here’s the lesson I referenced 🙂
b_ukes_101 – Sounds great, Brandon! Focus your practice on cleaning up those little fluke areas and you’ll be rockin’ and rolling! Keep up the great work!
kirpuff – Beautifully played, Sara!
maryjanew – Sounds great, MJ! Keep working on the B Melody and I’d say, memorize it and then you can start to play around with some of the concepts that Steven taught in the lesson, like rubato or vibrato.
@misskika – If you do the baritone part on high G, the notes on the 4th string will sound off. Do you have a low G? It would work better for that instrument.
Beautifully played, Jan! I enjoyed listening to it, too 🙂
Ohh and the search feature can be found on the forum home page at the top left:
Each tab displays a letter symbol for the technique that’s to be used:
H = Hammer-On
P = Pull-Off
Sl. = Slide—-
0-2: Does it mean hammer-on? Start playing on open-string and hit 2nd note?
Since 0 is open-string, I am not sure if it is possible to play as ‘slides”Yes, H/O. Check out this lesson for an overview on how to do this technique.
You cannot slide open to 2. This would be a hammer-on.
2-0: Should I play starting with touching 2nd note and take off my finger?
Again, since 0 is open-string, I am sure if it is possible to play as “slides”Correct, the above link covers pull-offs too 🙂
@terryfallon3 – Your video is set to private, can you make it public?
Sounds great! This is such a pretty tune 🙂
I’m glad you guys picked it as the winner from our last vote off. Which btw, our arrangement/lesson will be out soon!
@katazumiri – That was absolutely lovely with the bass duet. Well done!
@shmu88 – Sounds great! There’s no right or wrong with rubato. As long as you dig it, that’s all that matters. As far as our advice goes, we just want to make sure you understand the concept, and it’s clear to me that you do 🙂
