I started working on the Feel-Good Strumming song, but I was also inspired by @muzikmama to do the One Finger Etude! I really like how you play it, and it was cool to see your changes and improvements from the first post to the second!
Because 3 or 4 finger picking is not an option anyways, I figured I would go all in on the “One Finger” theme of this etude and only use one finger on my right hand as well! lol 🙂June 5, 2023 at 3:20 pm in reply to: Participate in the June 2023 Challenge!

jbmills07Participant@dianna I can only speak for myself, but for me, I do a lot of practicing and takes before I get one that I like for nearly every challenge! You are not alone! 🙂
jbmills07Participant@The_Bumble_Bard Yeah I have played Zelda games since I was a kid and have always loved its music! And thank you!
I have wondered the same thing about my cats and their tendency to jump on my shoulders! I never trained them to do it or anything like that, so its hard to say! I had them all since they were very young, and two of them I would even carry around in my poclets when they were super tiny, so that might have played a role! lolJune 1, 2023 at 4:12 pm in reply to: Participate in the May 2023 Challenge!

jbmills07Participant@andrew your totally right! I didn’t even think of it that way when I added the bars lol. Just thought, “hey, I’ll make this a little longer” lol!
jbmills07Participant@janaq1 Thank you! I also think Ziggy was thinking that very thing! lol
@The_Bumble_Bard Thank you so much Bumble! I actually started learning the song, back during the video game themed month! However, I wasn’t able to play it well enough to perform it in the deadline, so I changed over to the Great Fairy Fountain tune instead. But I never forgot how much I loved Zelda’s Lullaby and wanted to go back and tighten it up. 🙂
And yes, Ziggy loves to jump on my shoulders! At some point or another, all of my cats use to jump on my shoulders. But Ziggy, being the youngest, is the only one who still does it. Not always at the opportune times either! lolMay 22, 2023 at 7:08 pm in reply to: Participate in the May 2023 Challenge! You Choose: $1,745 OR $2,900 Kanile’a #57485

After trying the more advanced songs this month I decided to instead work on my biggest weakness: strumming lol
So I learned the Beginner Blues Strumming. I never tried strumming the up strokes with my thumb before, so that took some practice for sure! And my chuck also needs a lot of work, so it was nice to practice that more as well!
@kaski85 and @annemarie well played!April 12, 2023 at 6:39 pm in reply to: Participate in the April 2023 Challenge! You Choose: $1,745 OR $2,900 Kanile’a #57088

I had to start where it all began with Etude #1! Beautiful tune
@Rafaela impressively played!
@clempeck sounds good and you maintained the fast pace well!
@deadbuggy its always a pleasure listening to your submissions, beautiful played and bravo!
@robinl I especially liked how smoothly you played the B melody; whole thing was great!March 5, 2023 at 7:32 am in reply to: Participate in the March 2023 Member Challenge: WIN Classical Ukulele! #56575
jbmills07Participant@andrew thank you!
Also, I was wondering if me tagging was causing the problem! So in the future if I want to tag a fellow student/player should I just make a separate post for that?March 4, 2023 at 6:12 pm in reply to: Participate in the March 2023 Member Challenge: WIN Classical Ukulele! #56565

So I got to Swan Lake in the new Course and was learning that when the “Danse Paysanne” lesson came out, and I really fell in love with and had to learn it! This song is so much fun to play, thank you!
@Sarahmusic Sounds great so far! I hope you do end up posting a follow up video showing your improvements! 🙂February 23, 2023 at 8:15 am in reply to: Participate in the February 2023 Member Challenge: WIN Ohana Pequeno Ukulele! #56422

I wanted to do the Celtic mini, but I couldn’t quite get the left hand fingering right! Something I need to work on. So instead I ended up going with “navigating the fretboard”. I struggled with maintaining a steady rhythm, but as always, it was a ton of fun to practice and work on!
Also, as always, I loved watching everyone’s entries this month! Well done all!
jbmills07Participantloved it! nice job! 🙂

jbmills07Participant@andrew thank you!
@leb397 thank you! I look forward to seeing what you decide to play and post!
@the_bumble_bard thank you also! Ziggy is a great practice partner, but it would be nice she learned to stay in one spot more! Lol-
