We had 37 members participate this month! This was NOT an easy challenge as it involved learning NEW techniques and playing styles! Major props to each of you who participated on a job well done! 🙂
This month’s prize was a Gold Tone Banjolele in your choice of color. So without further ado, the winner is:
Our March Challenge is LIVE: https://rockclass101.com/march-2020-challenge. The theme is Classical Music and we’re giving away a NEW PRIZE: a $250 Spalted Maple Tenor Islander Ukulele! Hope to see everyone in the challenge!

P.S. Stephen will post the remaining feedback for folks on page 8 soon.
Wow! Major improvement, I’m impressed! I think you’re almost ready for the gig 🙂 Keep doing what you’re doing and you’ll get the last section down.
@cloud_cactus – You can play it, but it will sound “off”.
@annemarie – Hi Anne, our upload feature is meant for photos. Please upload the video to YouTube and share a link here.
@annemarie – Hi Anne, can you upload to YouTube and share a link here?
@lhamilton – Still happens to me!
@coffeemug – Well done! I’d say go a lil slower and that will help you strengthen the tough parts – and then build it up to speed. But great job overall!@lhamilton – Technique looks great, well done! Keep up the great work 🙂
@debb1985 – Way to go, Debb! One tip: see if you can get the harmony to ring out/sustain more. I think your right hand is coming down and touching the strings after the brush, which is cutting it short. Try not to touch the strings after the strum and that will let it ring out.
@andracass – Well done MT! Technique looks and sounds great! All I can say is to work on keeping the tempo steady for the last part of the tune. Great job this month and no prob on the prize!
@marygrace – Beautiful playing, MG! I’m gonna share this on our social 🙂
@sticks366 – Bravo! That was brilliant! Harmonics ring clear and your technique looks great. The only suggestion I have is to loop the 2 strummed harmonic chords and work on getting the transition a bit faster so there’s no pause in hitting them in time. Other than that, keep rockin’!
Sorry for the delay in response – this got caught in the spam filter.
Have you seen this lesson from our concept series? It talks about multiple ways to spice up your rhythm playing.
Welcome, Catherine! I look forward to seeing your performance in this month’s challenge! I’m always around if you need help on the lessons. Don’t hesitate to email me or post questions on the forum 🙂
