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!)

Red is the Rose is great on low G. Here’s a vid of me playing the arrangement 4 years ago 🙂

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!

[brettboy]

Thanks for the Suggestions Andrew!

I think I’ll try both!

1) Execution – I want to get better at tapping and artificial harmonics. My current state of Uke playing is upper-intermediate to advanced level for chords and finger style but I believe I’m at a much lower skill level for tapping and artificial harmonics. My plan to work toward this goal is to try learning RC101’s Amazing Grace with Harmonics lesson and Love by Matt White which has some sweet tapping parts. I already practice ukulele for over and hour most days, that schedule will remain this January with a focus on these two lessons.

2) Application – I will watch RC101’s videos and play the pieces over and over again until I get them down.

3) Evaluation – I have a habit of doing this already with all the monthly RC101 member challenges. Every month my wife hears me playing the same thing over and over all month long as I get better and I report to her… Saying things like… “That was closer but I’ve still never played it 100%” Or… “I reached the point where I can play it accurately but now yet at speed”

Andrew, do you have a suggestion for one of your songs/lessons for me if I want to work on tapping and / or artificial harmonics?

This month I learned Mika Kane’s beautiful and tricky ukulele arrangement of Merry-Go-Round of Life. Thanks Mika and Andrew for this excellent challenge!

Fun Stuff! Thanks for the challenges Andrew.

(I was Avatar Aang for Halloween this year! In my opinion Avatar the Last Airbender is tied with Steven Universe as the best cartoon series ever made. I’d recommend it to anyone reading this no matter how old they are 🙂

I look forward to hearing folk’s play these lovely Uke tunes!

Andrew, wore my Mortal Kombat shirt as a nod to your Raiden reference! 🙂

Salutations Uke Friends

Here’s my Little Trouble in Big China video 🙂
I recruited my dad to play the piano part.
I’m really happy with our creation tho our timing is “a bit loose” and my playing is “a bit shy of accurate” 🙂

Happy Halloween to all who celebrate!

[brettboy]

Thanks everyone 🙂
