Salutations Fellow Uke Lovers! I took on 50s Rock & Blues. Super lesson. Thanks Andrew and Stephen! Here’s my best take:

Ahoy Ukulele Lovers!
I took on Habanera this month. This arrangement is super fun and a little bit tricky. Here’s my best take filmed “al fresco” by my fig tree (with a tiny bit of airplane noise).¡Viva Rockclass101!
Aloha Ukulele friends.

I took on Let it Be this month.
Lovely arrangement and a great challenge.
Thank you Steven and Andrew!Hi Fellow Ukulele Lovers 🙂

I had a great time learning A Fifth of Beethoven this month. Such a cool arrangement!
Thank you Evan J De Silva and Andrew.Hi Uke Friends, Here’s my video for “The Explorer.” I play it on my Rogu(e) Baritone and my Luna concert with low G. Also, my kitty Chouquette joins me at the end for an impromptu sing-a-long!
Measure 8 & 16 were really tricky IMO but eventually I managed to get them sounding decent. Also, I gave up trying to play measure 23 as written. Those double stops on beat 2 and 3 that use 4th fret G string were changed to 2nd fret G sting to work with my playing style. The melody notes on the B string are the same so it sounds similar. (I tried to use my thumb for a while but I just didn’t like it.)
All in all this song is Totally Awesome and a great challenge. Thanks Andrew!
Hi Uke Friends!
Here is my attempt at Crossing Hemispheres. Thanks Matt and RC101 for all the great lessons!
Thanks Stephen. To answer your question the change was not intentional. I usually watch the RC video once for a shorter piece like this one and I carry around a copy of the printed music and practice here and there. So my it often evolves slightly away from the source material 🙂
Also, if anyone is interested in hearing my Five Foot Two or St Annes Reel they are on my youtube channel at Sept 12, 2019 and Oct 19, 2020.

Hi Ukulele Friends! I took on Last Christmas this month. What a fun arrangement! Here’s my best take. Happy Holidays Everyone.
Just donated $20 to Ukulele Kids Club 🙂

Hi Fellow Uke-Lovers, I took on Motown Medley this month. It was one of the hardest arrangements I’ve ever attempted. (Especially I Want You Back! So dang tricky!) It took me all month to get it barely playable at speed. I can now do high accuracy at 75% speed but I really wanted to do 100% speed… so the video your about to watch has “B grade” accuracy! Hope you like it and Big Thanks to Andrew, Evan and the other talented musicians that made this super fun lesson happen 🙂
Hi Uke Friends!
This month I collaborated with, our mutual friend, the amazing @nthibode, on a cover of Moondance!
This post represents Nathalie and I’s submission for the monthly challenge.
*WE ARE BOTH PREMIUM MEMBERS 🙂 *Nathalie provided a great video with smooth, jazzy ukulele, and a lovely vocal performance. Over that, I laid down the solo and a “bass” line to the best of my ability!
Nathalie, thanks again for suggesting this Collab! I’m really happy with what we created!
Andrew, Ashley, Evan and Stephen: Thanks for another great lesson and monthly challenge 🙂
Hi Uke Friends. I’m kinda “phoning it in this month” But I had to post something to keep my perfect attendance record for nearly three years of monthly challenges!
I love Pineapple Uke Blues and I noodle on it all the time. (I play it so much my kids grumble when they hear it.) (That C minor lick makes me SO happy every time I hear it.)
My first video of this tune can be found on my YT channel post 3 years ago on Sept. 6, 2018.
Today’s video I posted is a bit sleepier (and the outro on my bedroom recording has some ruff spots rhythmically).
Stephen! Thanks Man! Actually I did not play it in 6/8 on purpose 🙂 When i was first learning it I did follow the notation and count One,two,and,three,and,four,and. But I only watched Andrew’s video once and only glanced at the notation a few times after that. I was just noodling though it while thinking I was playing it correctly.
I can hear the difference now but only after You pointed it out! I’m playing like “one,two,three,and,four,five,six” ! But the measures that just have four quarter notes I’m still doing one.two,three,four . So, in a way my awesome 🙂 (but accidentally messed up) performance mixes the two time signatures. Would you say that’s correct?
