This is a great question Dave. Hitting a plateau is something that we all have felt at one or more points in our playing careers. But, I can tell you there is a way to rise above it.
So before we get into that, I have a few questions for you.
1) You said you have tried all the usual advice. What does that entail?
2) What are your goals? What do you want to be able to do? (Dig deep – let me know specifics)
3) What is your practice routine like? What do you do?
Oh, in that case it would take quite a bit of rewriting to drop those sections down an octave. Which would also loose the nice “movement” sound that is produced as we jump from higher to lower and lower to higher in this arrangement.
Hey guys, here are all the answers and feedback for ser_ser π I thought I’d release it earlier so everyone has more time to work on these songs with their question(s) answered. Let me know if you have more questions and I will be happy to answer them.
That was fantastic ser_ser! Congrats on being the first one to submit a video too π I’ve got some tips for you on your vibrato. I’ll be answering all the questions in this post in a video soon and will add a section with some tips on vibrato for you in that video. Great job though, I enjoyed watching your performance!
Welcome! Glad you are enjoying the lessons π I just recorded a new classical piece which will be out soon π
Lisa, question 17 gets its own video π Iβll be working on that soon!
Save those questions Kay. Iβll make a new forum post for LR #2 in the future π
Hi Carrie, I’m not really sure. Sounds more like an issue with the uke. They can change strings and if the problem persists, then we def know it’s the uke.
Also guys, lets keep questions/comments related to the 25 questions from the video. We’ll def do another LR video in the future! Please post questions/comments with question # as a reference. For example:
My question is in regards to #22, etc.
ellieukulele, premium membership is not required for the challenge, but premium membership will make it much easier to learn.
In a previous challenge, one of our basic members was able to learn a premium member song by watching the performance video and other memberβs submissions: https://rockclass101.com/forums/topic/participate-in-the-may-2017-member-challenge-classical-ukulele-challenge/page/7/#post-11776
You will need to play our complete arrangement to qualify for the giveaway.

Hi jam0h101, you can enter the challenge with a partial arrangement. I review every performance and offer helpful tips to all who enter. But, in order to qualify for the giveaway, you must perform the entire piece.ο»Ώ
Hi John, I’m not sure what you mean by that. Triplet’s were mentioned in reference to the strumming technique: triplet strum and the rhythmic value of a triplet. It has no relation to Uke Republic.
Hi Lesley,
Adding a backbeat and chunking are essentially the same thing. But, it can be executed in different ways. You are correct in describing how I add a backbeat with the claw, as demonstrated here:
Aldrine from UU uses a different approach. He uses the side of his thumb to mute the strings, as demonstrated here:
Muting in general describes lightly touching the strings so that when you pluck or strum, no sound is produced. Hope that helps, let me know if you have any questions. And congrats on completing the courses!
