@samash07 – Sounds great, Sam! I would just work on the transitions, so you don’t have pauses. Keep up the great work!
annemarie – Here’s my feedback for you. And here’s the lesson I referenced.
qiuyan – Well done, Qiuyan! Excellent job on the pace of the piece and I love the arpeggiated plucks. Keep up the great work!
andrewvh – Well done, Andrew! Timing & feel is spot on 🙂
lisadmh – Performance sounds great! From what I can see for the barre chords, it looks like you are pushing too hard. So it’s like a clothes pin, the thumb and the index push inwards together. Only push hard enough to get the notes to ring clear. So experiment with how much pressure you need to accomplish that.
coffeemug – Playing wise, it was great overall! I know Steven’s lesson touched on rubato, which works great for this song.
But the key to rubato is how you use it. If you listen to the first section of your performance, it has a slow and elegant feel to it.
At 44 seconds, you kick off into the next section. And you can hear that it sounds rather rushed compared to the first.
So when you listen back to performances, that’s the thing that I would be keeping an ear on. Which is: how does the section or phrase connect to the one before and/or after.
amaddi – Sounds great! The only suggestion I have is to slow the tempo down a little bit. It’ll allow the music to breathe more.
terryfallon3 – Here’s my feedback for you. And here’s the lesson I referenced.
turkgoose – Bravo, great performance!
brettboy – Sounds great with the guitar! Keep working on the B Melody so you can get it a little bit cleaner.
ukandoit – Love the reverb, tone sounds great! And of course a lot of that is due to your performance 😉 Well done, Matthieu!
Can you share a video playing that part? I’ll be better able to help if I can see/hear what you’re doing.
@annemarie – can you upload your video to YouTube and share the link? Our upload feature is meant for photos only.
@myukemylife – that works!
@nthibode – Bravo, Nathalie! Great groove and hip look. I’m taking notes 😉
You can download and print the CoF PDF HERE. (Make sure you’re logged in)
Yep, I’m a big fan 🙂
For your question: I’d take a look at the easier offerings for each month’s challenge. Last month we featured a beginner series song, but this month the choices start at level 1 songs.
Don’t be afraid to try level 1. Even if you don’t learn the entire song, you will get better in the process.
Welcome, Markus! Glad you found us 🙂 Nathalie is spot on with her suggestion, but I too have a question for you. Have you gone to the Porsche museum?
I love that you found your passion with Banjo music. I wish you nothing but the best, Holly! It’s been a pleasure being your teacher 🙂
@dangar – We’re working on a full band arr. of a classic rock tune and a solo arr. for a grunge song 🙂 Stay tuned!
