Aloha Ukulele Fam’
Here is my best take of Hawaii Five-O Theme song! Such a fun, cool and surfy arrangement and a great challenge. Mahalo to Steven and Andrew!
Hi Ukulele Friends!
I was super excited to write a new original ukulele song for this Challenge.
This tune is called OPERATION: -G-C-E-A-
It is Heavily influence by the American band ” Man… or Astroman? ” I’ve been a big fan of their extraterrestrial surf-rock, garage-punk since I was just 14 years old. This recording features me playing a tenor, and two baritone ukuleles. The drum track is by one of Garage Band’s bots 🙂

Hi Ukulele Friends!
So many beautiful movie tunes here so far! Y’all rock!
Here’s me best take of the great Billie Eilish’s lovely tune What Was I Made For?
Hi RockClassRockStars,
Here is my best take of Where is my Mind. Love the Pixies and love this Uke arrangement. Thanks for the great lessons 🙂
Congratulations @deadbuggy You rocked this Challenge 🙂
2 Weeks ago I posted a rough “take 1” of Smash the Windows to make the deadline for this Irish Music Challenge… BUT I’ve still been working on it everyday!
Please check out this “take 2” – It’s faster and smoother! I’m quite pleased with this one 🙂 Happy Spring/Autumn to all my Uke Friends out there!!!
Salutations Uke-Friends.
I’ve been working on this fun arrangement of Smash the Windows this month. But I got a late start and have been really busy. This video is a bit rough. I think I still need several hours of dedicated practice but I have to work all day on March 30 and 31 so here’s my best take 🙂 I plan to keep workin’ on it because I really like this arrangement and want to really learn it!
@gi_gi_ I started playing guitar around 12 years old (I’m 42 now). I got pretty good but I hit a plateau in my late 20s early 30s when I had young kids and I was really into tea and tea culture. Making music was not a big part of my life during those years.
I’ve been into the Uke for 9 years now! Before 2015 I never had any interest in the ukulele. In a way I have Marie Kondo to thank for getting me into the instrument. A friendly regular customer at the teashop I worked for asked me one day, totally out of the blue, if I wanted an old ukulele. She said she was reading The Art of Tidying Up and getting rid of things in her house that no longer sparked joy 🙂 I said “sure, why not, I’ll give it a try” – And I’m so glad I did ’cause once I started messing around with it I quickly fell in love.
Hi Uke Friends!
Thanks for the kind words.
I have perfect attendance going all the way back to the very first RC101 monthly challenge (nearly 7 years ago!)
Here’s my St. Anne’s Reel video from October 2020 Member Challenge. (I love playing this arrangement!)
Aloha Uke-Stars!
I chose to take on Andrew’s super cool, tricky and beautiful arrangement of Prince’s When Doves Cry this month. Amazing Song, Super Uke Arrangement, and an Excellent Challenge!
Thanks RC101 Fam’!Hi Uke Friends 🙂
This month I challenged myself to improve my artificial harmonics and tapping technique skills. For some harmonics practice I learned RC101’s Amazing Graze and posted it on my IG.
I spent most of my January trying to learn the tune “Love” by Matt White as arranged by our awesome teacher Andrew. Here’s my best attempt at that fun and TAP-Y piece!
