Here is my September entry.
Song 3, 12 Bar Blues. I tried to get my right hand in the video, the way I made the “pluck up” work was by keeping a very light touch (couldn’t get my fingers below the strings fast enough). It’s more like an upside down fan strum but hitting all the strings at once.
I’m working on lesson 2 Etude #37. This will most defiantly be a pert of my practice/warm ups, it’s a great exercise for right hand dexterity. My performance is a little choppy, but this was the best take I have so far.
I wanted to use lesson two finger picking etude 34, but I’m still struggling to get the pattern down, so here is my entry this month:

I was intrigued when you first emailed out the new course last month, now it part of the July Challenge. Awesome. I’m curious, is the course available a-la-carte, or just as part of the monthly subscription?
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.
