@jgillard – Excellent playing! Only thing to point out is that you were late coming into bar 5. Other than that, timing was spot on!
@deadbuggy – Awesome playing and sweet uke Sara 😉
@ksapp92 – @jgillard is spot on with his feedback for you. You may want to jump into the first and second lesson from our Classical Course. Stephen shares tips on staying relaxed and minimizing tension.Welcome Kelby! Glad to have you here with us and thank you so much for the kind words! I really appreciate it 🙂
Welcome @gildoarod! Glad to have you on-board 🙂
@mark1256 – Great playing Mark! And I’m glad to hear you are enjoying the mini lessons 🙂
For the Celtic etude, I want to hear a little more clarity with the pull-offs. Try/check out the advice I left above for @morrieuke1.
Blues piece was excellent! Well done!
Dianna, can you click the “speaker icon” and double check the volume is on?
If that doesn’t fix the issue, please let me know what device and browser you are using. Also, can you try using the player on a different device or browser? Please let me know if it works there.
@jgillard – Playing sounds great on both pieces! Well done 👏
Welcome, @a4patch! You can play any low G arrangement on baritone. The only difference is that you’ll be playing in a different key. There are 2 mini lessons in this month’s challenge that are for low g. They are ML001 and ML004. Both are a bit challenging to play.
I’d recommend starting with an easier tune, such as this one for baritone.
I’d also recommend purchasing a high or low G ukulele. All of our courses, such as the Beginner’s Course, will be catered towards that tuning.
As for creating a practice schedule, please take a look at this page. It’ll help you create one based off your interests 🙂
Thanks for letting me know. I’m getting the same issue on my end too. I’ll report the issue to their support team and update y’all when I hear back 🙂
@ethankoenig – Excellent playing and a fantastic first entry, Ethan!
@morrieuke1 – Well done, Michael and thank you for the kind words! I really appreciate it 🙂
I honestly have no idea if I’ll develop it more. Songwriting is weird for me. If I try to write, nothing happens. And when I don’t intend to write, I write. It makes no sense lol.
I thought your performance was great! The only thing I want to point out is that I’d like to hear a little more clarity in the 3-2-0 pull-offs on E. Try the same advice/video I left for @dianna in last month’s challenge for Etude no. 16.
Bes, that was awesome! My best advice is to keep doing what you’re doing. It’s obv working!!
As far as where to go in your studies, take a look at this page. It’ll give you a bunch of ideas on creating a practice schedule based off your interests. Let me know if you have any questions 🙂
We BLEW AWAY our participation goal with 62 members participating this month! Big congrats to each and every one of you! I loved hearing everyone’s performances! Y’all did SO well! 🙂
So without further ado, the winner of this month’s challenge is ** drumroll **
Our February Challenge is LIVE: https://rockclass101.com/february-2023-challenge
The theme is Mini Lessons and we’re giving away a VERY unique ukulele! Hope to see everyone in the challenge!
@cartoonnatalie – You played it beautifully! A great first challenge post 🙂
One thing I want you to work on is proper holding technique. I’ll embed a video I made for another member a few years ago on how to hold the uke. Additionally, here is another lesson and one more covering this topic that I recommend reviewing.
@maryjanew – I love your interpretation, MJ! It reminds me of “We Are Gonna Be Friends” by the White Stripes. Well done this month! 🙂
