Welcome. I’ve been a Member since Sept I think. I stick with the monthly Challenges for now until I improve more. Each Challenge helps develop different skills. Enjoy yourself. Have fun 🙂
@robinboyd Most definitely interested in a video like that. Thx.
Congratulations @drefrank. Your uke is absolutely gorgeous….What a great wife you have. Enjoy!! Nothing like a great instrument.
I just bought some cheap pedals and a looper and made a cute pedalboard. It would be nice to learn how to loop and things related to that esp for improving how to solo and to play with a backing track. Maybe there is something on this site already about it and I need to find it. Just a thought. Enjoy your much needed vacation. Appreciate all your hard work.
That is so impressive @surferjay. Hope I can do that one day. Thanks for sharing. Is there a course on this site showing how to use a loop pedal and to tab out songs? This has peaked my interest. Thanks.
@cstiber What really helps is to have fun. The ukulele is supposed to be a fun instrument. Since Valse Venelozano #2 was super hard I practiced every day of the month. I may have missed one day but I told myself to smile as I played 🙂 This helped me greatly. In the end, everyone did very well including yourself. I think I recorded a million times 🙂 If I didn’t have to record it I don’t think I would give it as much time so it is good for us all. Please enjoy yourself as you learn. You may look back and realize just how well you are doing 🙂 In the moment it is difficult to see the progress sometimes.
@Andrew “Killing me softly” was originally song by Lori Lieberman but it didn’t chart in 1972. Roberta Flack made this song popular in 1973. I don’t like the new version by Fugees.
If the lesson was of Lieberman or Flack’s version then that would be my choice.
If not one of their versions then I would have to choose “Hang on Little Tomato”. Thanks.@Deadbuggy That was wonderful. I would much rather learn your version. Your uke is gorgeous.
@Andrew Christopher Davis Shannon is an amazing talented artist but that version is so complicated. All I kept saying as he explained his arrangement is, “why?!” 😫@Andrew Thank you so much Andrew. I am so happy!!! It took 10 million takes 🙂 RockClass101 challenges rock! Hope to be able to play it well without holding my breath one day 🙂
@robinboyd We did it. Yours was great. Everyone did an amazing job this month with all the songs. I hope December isn’t as hard as November 🙂
