Here is my last minute entry. I wish I hade more time to polish this up, but I’ll continue prating and eventually adding in the solo.
Your “Innie” plays ukulele too.
Thank you @Andrew, I’ll keep working on it. I don’t know why I’m so resistant to playing with a metronome, but I thinks it’s about TIME 😉
I must be Crazy to try this arrangement. I’m running out of time, so here is my entry, warts and all.
Here is my update to Swan Lake. Still not perfect, but much smoother that before. I also added a “C” on the fourth string, although I think it would sound bette with a high G string.
I’ve been focusing lately on memorizing a repertoire. I think I’ll add Swan Lake to list. So, in addition to playing more fluidly, I hope to have it committed to memory by the end of the month. Here is my original take from las year,

I’m running out of time on this challenge, this was tougher than I thought. So here is my Mad World, mistakes and all. I simply cannot do the roll strum, I either get all the notes at once, or a very slow arpeggio. I did manage to fix the issue I’ve been having with notes and chords not ringing out, new strings fixed that issue.

Here is my entry for the May challenge.
I can’t seem to get that last chord to ring, my fingers are just too big for a double bar on the 10/11th frets.

This is my entry to February’s challenge.
First, thank you @Andrew, for your advice on playing the Dm, I think I would have injured myself trying Matt’s finger stretching technique.I still need a bit of work, but I wanted to get this in early this week. Biggest issue in this recording is I missed the chucks in the chorus. I do have another recording where I add in the chucks, but my timing is all over the place, so this is the better recording.
I decided on “Come As You Are”, but I’m in Dm hell, and I have fairly long fingers. Any advice for getting that 2 finger Dm down?
@gi_gi_ thank you for your encouragement. Like most people, I don’t like the sound of my voice in a recording.
This is likely my last updated for the month. Here is my latest practice for my second goal in this challenge, Purple Haze intro riff. Still needs a lot of attention in the last 4 measures.
Goals progress Jan 20.
Playing Summertime from memory, one goal met.
Purple Haze riff? well that needs a tiny bit more work. I’m trying a “interleaved” practice routine where I work on parts from different songs in the same practice session. In my practice, I’ll now be interleaving “Stranger Things” with “Purple Haze”. I didn’t want to include that in this challenge, as that arrangement was already a monthly challenge from a few years ago.
