johanna2509 – beautifully played, well done!
deadbuggy – I really dig the “free flow” feel you have for bars 1 through 4. But I think you may want to copy that feel for bars 5 through 8. IMO, this piece needs a consistent feel. Plus, that would nicely contrast the steady feel you use for Melody B.
laurasil – wow, bravo! And yes, this was arranged by Evan. I thought you did a brilliant job overall. Here’s what I would work on: Clean up the chord hits and get them to sustain more. Slow down your tempo to work on this. But again, major props for a job well done!
Heads Up: NEW TIME this month and all month’s moving forward. We’re pushing it back 30 min to 7:30 PM EST.
@robinboyd – Bravo! I’m excited to see your progress throughout the month 🙂
@omaon4 – Thank you! Now help me with the Hawaiian song names we are working on for this month lol 🙂
@samash07 – Here’s my take on your question:
2) Since I only practiced the piece for a couple of days, I was thinking “Okay I’ve played this measure, what was next?” leading to hesitation while moving my hand along the fretboard. What’s weird is that I have the whole piece memorized but I still feel hesitant. Not sure how to tackle that.
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, 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.
