@gi_gi_ , @rebeca , @annemarie , @dianna – girls 😉 – thank you for your kind comments. It made me very happy.
@Andrew , thank you for your kind words. I’m so glad you like the composition. It means a lot to me.
@The_Bumble_Bard and @leb397 – thank you for your kind words. I’m so happy to be able to share my ukulele playing with someone other than my family and a few friends. With the same enthusiasts and fellow students at Rockclass101. I feel lucky to have found this school and community. There are great teachers here, everything I know I know because of them.
(The covid was, thankfully, short and light.) 🙂@mark1256, that was so joyful, despite the danger! Nice playing and singing. It cheered me up. I am from middle Europe, so I can´t relate to the hurricane. But I wish everyone to avoid all dangers!
@The_Bumble_Bard, you are a very creative person and you can play in such a nice calming way! I really like the jazzy feel at the beginning. Thanks for sharing.
@lisadmh, I like all your originals. But my favorite ones are “Salt, sand, and…” and “A Beautiful Life” – especially this song touches me a lot, I can feel that it is from the heart. It also affects me personally. During this year two of my three “kittens” died – they were almost 18 years old and it comforts me that they had a beautiful life. I hope their sister will stay with us for a while longer.
On a slightly more cheerful note:
It was impossible not to notice that a large number of ukulele players have a cat/s (or a cat has a ukulele player). Sure, there are dogs and other pets too. But it seems to me that cats predominate. And what came first – the ukulele or the pet?
It might be worth “serious” research. 😀Regarding the chord progression, I find this video very interesting and useful:

Hi everyone,
here is my June post. There are some inaccuracies, but it’s my most rhythmically successful attempt. I tried to record with a metronome, but I was too focused on listening to the metronome, so the playing was not relaxed. Luckily, the metronome’s battery died. 😀
Thanks to the Rockclass team for the great lessons. It inspires and motivates me a lot. I always appreciate your feedback.
Have a great summer everyone! And some even winter!
JanaI like your performance, @akukes73. And I admire that you mastered a rather difficult composition in 3 weeks.

Hi everyone,
I chose The Chicken …in my version, The Catching (the rhythm) is more apt. 😅
This time I enjoyed not only learning, but also the recording itself. It was my first time recording with a band.
Have a great time!
JanaVery nicely played, with feeling.
I suspect Ziggy is a little jealous: “Stop stroking that weird pet! I’m here, attend to me!” 😃
@annemarie – Thank you very much for your compliment. 🙂
@Andrew thank you for the encouragement and the advice. I appreciate it.

Hi everyone,
this month I chose The Ascent. I knew it would probably be beyond me, but I wanted to see what I could learn in a month. The challenge was mainly right hand technique and pace. But the hardest thing for me was to remember it all. It was only 4 days ago that I managed to play the entire song from memory. I am uncertain in most of the passages. And when the red button on the camera turns on… this is the result.
