lisadmh – Feedback for Lisa.
The above is the best idea I have. What do you guys think?
Good idea, Rickey! Lately, we’ve been publishing folks that are all contained on one page. This way, you can open up a new tab, with just that pages performances on it.
There isn’t much functionality that can be done for this forum, besides re-pasting the performance with the feedback. But, that may become a bit cumbersome.
Thanks for the feedback everyone! I want to touch on a couple things. Stephen and I have actually talked about doing “Dueling Banjos”. We definitely want to do it, we just haven’t gotten to it yet, but it definitely will happen. Seeing as there’s an interest, I’ll make it more of a priority.
Speaking of requests, I forgot to add this in the main post, but I’d like to start letting you guys vote on which songs we arrange. The request list is beyond huge, and in the past I’ve picked songs that have been requested multiple times. But it’s ballooned past this, so voting on a song seems like a lot of fun and a logical way to make more folks happy.
I’m not sure on the frequency of the voting, but I’ll see if we can get something started for this around Spring. Most likely, it will be themed (for ex: movie themes) and you guys vote on 4 choices.
Back to banjos, that’s an instrument that requires specific technique. Stephen has more rhythm technique that is translatable to that instrument, so I’ll see that the next one he does for us can feature some of this. 🙂

Baritone – this is something I will not be tackling this year. There just was not enough demand when I surveyed folks in Dec ’17 (link above). I do want to add lessons for it at some point, but we will be at least a year or two out from that.

Roy Smeck – I was working on bringing in someone that plays this style. Things didn’t work out, but I’ll see what I can do. I love this playing style, but I’d love to bring in someone that can do it (and teach it) authentically.

Another course idea: Teach the subtleties of playing, things like: how or when notes/chords are meant to be articulated (for example, with staccato [detached, short notes] or accents [notes played boldly]), or if dynamics (degrees of volume) are to be used. In other words, teaching how to put “feeling” and expression into your playing.
I think this would make for a really interesting course 🙂
WE DID IT! WE RAISED $1,841.47 for The Ukulele Kids Club! Thanks to everyone who participated (over 85 members!) and donated in our December Challenge.
Together, WE GAVE the gift of music to children in need.

We’re going to start leaving feedback for everyone today. With so many posts, we’ll be leaving feedback for just your first performance, if you posted more than once.
I wish everyone a Happy New Year and hope to see you in our January challenge: https://rockclass101.com/january-2019-challenge
9/10 I play it like you. Just comes down to personal preference and/or depending on the context of the material.
Welcome, Sam! Awesome to read your story and I feel honored to help you achieve the dream. If you ever need help on the lessons, don’t hesitate to post here or email me 🙂
Awesome to hear, Misty 🙂
