@rgillof – Beautifully played Richard! My only suggestion would be to target your practice on those two spots where you paused on the transition. TY so much for the donation! 🙂
@kanique – Very beautifully played Dorota! Bravo 👏
@mark1256 – You played it wonderfully, Mark! The only thing I’d suggest would be playing along with Steven in the tab player. Try one section at a time. That’ll help smooth out the timing and rhythm.
@ruiafonso70 – Your timing and rhythm was great on this tune! I’m very impressed b/c you’ve made a BIG improvement over the last tune. So def keep doing what you’re doing, it’s working! One tip for the double stops, try strumming through just a touch faster so they don’t sound as arpeggiated.And TY so much for the kind words, we really appreciate it!
@mysticrick – Wonderfully played, Rick! I hear a couple of minor rhythm snags, so I’d recommend practicing along with Steven in the tab player to smooth them out. Honestly, it doesn’t sound like it would take much practice as your performance already sounds fantastic!
@ldarrow – Beautifully played, Linda! To my ear, the 2nd string sounds a little off at times. This is usually caused by one of three reasons:
1) I noticed you’re sometimes pulling the string down slightly when fretting the double stops, which makes the note go sharp. Try to keep the string as parallel to the fretboard as possible.
2) Pressing too hard when fretting can also cause the note to go sharp. Aim to apply just enough pressure to make the note sustain and ring clearly.
3) It could be an intonation issue, though I’d guess the first reason is the most likely.
I’ve seen her play twice, she’s an amazing performer! Def recommend going if she’s in your neck of the woods 🙂
@jasdel – Very beautifully played, Jasdel! I only have one suggestion. For the double stops, try strumming through just a touch faster so they don’t sound as arpeggiated. And TY so much for the kind words and for the donation! It’s very much appreciated 🙂
@dianna – That was awesome Dianna! The only suggestion I have would be to play along with Steven in the tab player or with a metronome. Either option will help keep you steady and eliminate the little pauses I hear at times.I really appreciate the kind words and thank you so much for the donation!
@mickan88 – Beautifully played, Michaela! You already sound like a natural with the thumb technique, keep up the great work!@heike_uke – Beautifully played, Heike! I only have one suggestion. For the double stops, try strumming through just a touch faster so they don’t sound as arpeggiated.

@lucauka – That was awesome, Luca! Great playing this month! My only suggestion is to memorize the piece so you can focus 100% on your playing.
