Hey Zion, what ending do you mean? What’s played on the original track? Or my arr. To be honest, I haven’t heard that song in years… so I don’t recall what was on it – except that I totally skipped the rap part, lol!
Hey guys! So awesome to see so many submissions come in in the last few days 🙂 I’m running behind on leaving feedback and announcing the winner, as I’ve been super busy with this Friday’s lesson – it’s a doozy! But, I hope to have all feedback left and the winner announced by Sunday. Thanks for your patience and I look forward to watching everyone’s performances!
Great idea Lisa! Here is the original thread, for those folks who are new. It has details on how we ran this theme before 🙂
Welcome capucine! Check out the 2nd video on this page for a rundown on how to use the site. And keep playing and especially keep up your awesome attitude! I’ve been dealing with repetitive strain and nerve damage issues for the last 6 years, but my love for music pushes through the challenges. And remember, you’re not alone, other members deal with things like arthritis, but continue to push through.
Hi marielayton, you’ll need to self host the video, as the site only supports picture sized files. Here is the sign up link for YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/create_channel.
Might be, Marni. I need to stop by Uke Republic this week, prob gonna go tomorrow and can try one out and see if it sounds quieter than wood.
Hey Kevin, not sure I follow on “delay thumb – outta time”… I’d say practice with the claw and let’s see how that goes 🙂
Love seeing so many performances come in 🙂 Here is my feedback.
Kevin, I have attached a video below with feedback for you. Let me know if you have any questions.
Vida, I have also attached a video below with feedback for you. Let me know if you have any questions.
Suzie, amazing job figuring that out on your own, bravo! The video I left for Vida above will give you a few great ideas about the feel of the piece, which I think you did well on overall. But, try the advice from that video and try to keep it consistent as you apply it to the A and B melody.
The other thing I wanted to point out, was that I noticed you doing a partial barre on strings 1 and 2 in the A melody (bars 1 – 4). I’d encourage you to stay on the fingertip of the index finger, playing only the first string throughout that section. In my opinion, it’s a better approach.
trmzbg, awesome performance! Great picking form and overall feel. And don’t sweat it, sometimes it takes me 50 takes too 🙂
Sue, great job on this one! The only thing that I would work on is taping a little harder for the percussive hits, as they sounded a bit too quiet. Also, how are you recording? It sounds like there is a weird effect on your uke…
I was fortunate enough to teach private lessons for 11 years. Over that time, I was able to see common trends and areas in a student’s playing progression in which they would plateau. That insight was incredibly valuable in creating the lesson curriculum on RC101 that would help get you out of the slump.
Plus, I’m one email or forum post away if you need help 🙂
