@The_Bumble_Bard: You now have 48 subscribers – I look forward to catching up on your posts and watching your new arrangements.
Well played and sung, @malku2603 — and good luck with your finals!
Thanks @leb397 – you’d think I would know how to do that by now!
No Edit button on my first entry, so I’ll try it again from here:

Here’s my go at Fingerpicking Etude No 28. I still need to work the kinks out and somehow get comfortable with that last finger salad of a chord (love that expression, Andrew!), but I’ll keep working on it. Thanks for another good challenge.
Oh @Marianne, you played your intense sadness into those pieces. I hope her family can hear this tribute. Thank you.
@The_Bumble_Bard: I didn’t get a chance to tell you how impressed I was with your performance, given that you worked on it for less than a day. To your 25/75 Success/Stress levels, add 100% for your courage in playing it for us! I’ll look forward to hearing your November piece.
@gi_gi_: Welcome back! I had two weeks away from playing in October, and I wondered if my fingers might have forgotten what to do – fortunately, their collective memory seems better than my own, and it didn’t take long for them to limber up again.
@nat-uke: I just listened to Evan playing Malagueña – oh, that’s something to aspire to! In the meantime, I’ll be happy to make it through Etude 28 all in once piece.Thanks, @Andrew – I do want to smooth that one out, but it’s probably going to take more than a couple of practice sessions!
Good to hear from you, @The_Bumble_Bard (she who works well under pressure!). Glad you’re starting to feel better, and we’ll look forward to listening to your submission – and give yourself four days!
@bolognakid: Welcome to Rock Class101 – you’re obviously in the right place. You’ve been playing less than a year, and look you how rocked Iron Man! Look forward to hearing more of your submissions.

I watched Black Sabbath’s 1970 video of Iron Man, with a young, fresh-faced Ozzy Osbourne, well before his bird-decapitating and crazy-makeup days, belting out some pretty heavy lyrics (guess that’s why they called it Heavy Metal, eh?). What creativity, playing with a simple riff and taking it to so many new places! My rendition, on the other hand, was still a struggle (don’t want to use two missed weeks as an excuse, but it didn’t help), but it’s the best I can do for now. As always seems to happen, I got some canine percussion in the background – serves as a good distraction to play over.
Really enjoying all the renditions of Iron Man, which I’m struggling to play cleanly. Thanks for the tips, @Marianne (lovely playing, as always) – I’m not convinced I’ll get those waves down in time, though. Plus two beautiful recordings of Aerials and two amazing renditions of Nothing Else Matters complete with @shmu88’s split screen. Inspirations, all of you!
@abster: All I can say is . . . ” Wow!”
@The_Bumble_Bard: I love your creative whimsy, whimsical creativity – whatever it is, it’s delightful! I look forward to hearing you wield more of your clawhammer superpower.
@lhamilton Beautiful playing of that lovely song! I’ve just started learning it myself.
Thanks, @Andrew – I didn’t know we could do that.
