I love this “Free-for-all” opportunity……but there are so many choices….which direction to go in?
Execution:
I think I’ve decided to make my way thru “The Beyond The Island Strum” Course which Capstones with “Five Foot Two, Eyes of Blue.”….. Hopefully, both improving and embellishing my rhythmic playing (one of my weaknesses)
Application:
Following the Course Outline, learning the different strum patterns, and finally applying them in the Capstone piece.
Evaluation:
I am hoping to be able to make my way thru the Course and complete the Capstone piece…..posting my final “Five-foot-two,” at the end of the month. It is my goal to play the piece without hesitation and at a reasonable speed. Christopher makes it look easy…..which I know means that it is far from easy!
My goal for 2025 is to play consistently without hesitation…….that’s a big one for me!
Good-luck to everyone…..this is a fun one!
@Emiliano…..I love that song….and it also has a very special place in my heart……..are there tabs somewhere for this version?
Good-luck, and I am looking forward to seeing your performance after a year of practice……I have no doubt it will be very special.
@jbmills07 Congratulations….that’s incredible luck! I hope it makes your Christmas merrier….and your new year brighter😁
And in the same spirit as @The_Bumble_Bard I again wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays…….looking forward to continuing this journey with all of you in the New Year.
Thanks again @Andrew and @Rockclass101…..What a top-notch curriculum you have created!
Oh and @MisterBones…..that was amazing! You made it look easy.

It is hard to believe we are submitting our last entry for 2024,….this year has just flown by! I am so grateful for this amazing, talented community…… Thank-you so much to Andrew and his team at Rock Class 101 for the impressive reportoire and program that you have developed over the years….it has been so exciting to witness Rock Class 101’s progress…..I am always looking forward to what is coming next. To all my talented and hard-working Uke Friends….it’s a blast to share this journey with you……Happy Holidays and Feliz Navidad!

@leb397……I feel for u after doing all that work……if it’s any consolation you did such a beautiful job….I really enjoyed it.
@The_Bumble_Bard loved it! Of course, my favorite is the clawhammer (I’m going to have to try that!)……nice flow and transitions between chords….Great job!
Thank-you @Andrew….yes, I can hear those dang hesitations…..a combination of my little memory glitches and the mechanics of moving my hand up and down the neck…….I will keep at it, and hopefully it will become a bit smoother.

Yes @Katazumiri you are a hard act to follow….. always love your performances….that was great!
I worked on Etude 5 this month…..These etudes are amazing and I am really enjoying listening to everyone’s submissions.
Funny, I had just sat down with the Etudes a couple days ago. I had printed them out awhile ago with the intention of going thru each one. What a nice surprise then, that this is our challenge for November! I have no idea which one to focus on…..so many choices, but it will be nice to hear them played by all of our uke-friends. @marlongas, thanks for getting us started with not just one but 3! Great job!😁
Thanks @Andrew, I will continue to work on it this month with the tab player. I am having some tech issues with this site. More often then not, when I click on the tab player or any posted videos a message comes up that says something like, “please sign in so we can confirm you are not a bot…” I have signed in again….and it still happens……With the videos I can just hit go to U-tube and that seems to work. But I haven’t figured out a go around with the tab player. I know you posted something about a tech glitch a while ago….but at that time, I wasn’t having any difficulties, so didn’t pay too much attention…….I went looking for your message, but didn’t find it….Now I’m having difficulties, is there a fix for this? Thanks, Dianna
Just tried clicking the tab player and it says “this site cannot be played outside of U-tube.”
On the video that is tied to tab player it says “please sign in to confirm you are not a bot.”I AM A PREMIUM MEMBER
First: To everyone who worked on Toccata and Fugue – BRAVO! Amazing work, each one of your performances were spot on……so impressed!
I worked on Blue Moon this month…..I love the standards and this arrangement is so well done……thanks to Steven and Rockclass101…….
Happy Halloween to all my Uke friends!🎃
@otzepeng I’m working on Blue Moon also…..thanks for the inspiration…….just loved the way it flowed…..great job!
@The_Bumble_Bard ……..ooooooooooh that was spookily-scarily great! Good luck with the Tocatta and Fugue…….I would love to chomp into that, but I agree it would take me several months before I felt ready to record…….but I love it!@simonalexander WOW!!!
That is a beauty @leb397……in very good shape for 100 years old with a really nice banjo sound….
Whew!……By the skin of my teeth😂……thanks @Andrew!
And…..thanks also to @leb397……..theses months are so busy, I wasn’t sure I was going to make it either……but I did practice, so had to post…….a belated post🤪Congratulations to @Grannieannie !
