Hi Connie, your email is Conniejh, correct? If so, it’s already on the list and that’s probably why you didn’t receive the confirmation. If that’s not your email, send me a private message and I’ll make sure it gets on the list 🙂
Welcome Connie! I’m glad you found the course helpful 🙂 Let me know if you have any questions on the lessons, I’m here to help!

Welcome Bob! Are you talking about learning to read tab or standard notation? If you are referencing tab, check out this lesson: https://rockclass101.com/how-to-read-tabs-chord-graphs-and-chart-symbols/.
If you are wanting to understand rhythmic notation, check out this lesson: https://rockclass101.com/understanding-rhythmic-notation-ukulele/. In the future, I plan to add a course on learning to read standard notation.
Cheers,
Andrew
Great job Compass Rose! As you stated, you know exactly what to work on. I would only suggest to break it down and work on four bars at a time. This should shorten your learning curve 🙂
Excellent Daniel! I would only suggest to watch your timing as a few notes seemed to linger, which interrupted the flow. But other than that, great job! Thanks for sharing 🙂
I wouldn’t worry about trying to play it at my speed. The thing to remember is: speed comes in time. I would make your goal this: To be able to play it at a certain tempo, steadily throughout the entire piece. So if that’s 70% or 60% of the speed that I played at, then that’s perfectly fine. When you feel comfortable at a certain percentage, bump up the tempo by increments of 5, until you get it to the speed that you want.
Wow, you guys delivered! It’s going to be really tough to choose 25 questions when over 75 excellent questions came in. If your question isn’t answered in the lightning round video, please keep it in mind, as I definitely plan to do another one in the future.
Look for this video to come out in July. The winner of the ukulele will be announced in the video. Thanks to everyone who asked a question, I’m looking forward to answering them 🙂
Hey Phil,
I would recommend to hone in on timing when you have a complete section or phrase down. You referenced mastering four bars at a time before moving on, that’s perfectly fine. Most songs are written in eight bar phrases, for example: A verse or a chorus. So splitting that in half, is an excellent approach for learning quickly. But I would also recommend to work on the transitions.
So if you master bars 1 through 4, then you master bars 5 through 8, don’t forget to go back and work on bars 4 to 5. I commonly notice people forgetting to work on the transitions. The same would apply when you are playing from one section to another, a verse to a course for example. So you would work on the last bar of the verse to the first bar of the chorus.
Hope that helps!
