jlbrossParticipantIt has been a long while since I have participated. I started again as self care.
I am not happy with my submission but it will have to do. I planned on coming home from work to redo it and had a family issue to tend too and was not able to get back home to redo it.
I have to stay over at my mom’s. I know the timing isn’t perfect. Some notes don’t ring out. I have a mental block where the minute I go to record I choke. But here it is. I did enjoy learning it as I am 1/2 Scottish.April 30, 2026 at 3:20 pm in reply to: Participate in the May 2026 Member Challenge – WIN $2,095 Kanile’a Ukulele #81122

jlbrossParticipantExecution- take the course -Strumming techniques beyond the Island strum. I am going to focus on learning chunking. Currently I stick to a normal strum. I can sometimes chunk a little but I want to be consistent and on the correct beats. My goal is to practice at least 30 min a day. I am going to review my schedule as each day different and plan a time to practice.
At the end of the month I would like to be able to play a song through with chunking. Not sure of the song yet.Application- I will apply what I learned in a song.
Evaluation- at the end of each week I will video what I am practicing to see what I need to Improve on.

jlbrossParticipantI am a premium member. I chose Song of Storms. Still need to get the first barre chord to ring a clearer. It is a bit twangy. LOL.

jlbrossParticipantI am a premium member. My timing is off and not very smooth in parts. But ran out of time. I had some memorized but not all.
I know I was supposed to keep my fingers down for the first melody and use my pinky for the third fret but I have an unusually small pinky so it is hard to get it to work properly. So it was easier to do it the way I did it. Maybe if I practiced a ton I could get the muscle memory working?July 2, 2022 at 8:51 am in reply to: Participate in the June 2022 Member Challenge – WIN $6,000 Kanile’a Ukulele #52599
jlbrossParticipantI can not believe I was plucking the wrong note. LOL. Good ears. Guess you better for what you do. I played again and didn’t do it must just must have been a fluke. I looks over the link you send for playing bar chords properly. Thanks. Will work on it.

jlbrossParticipantI am a premium member. I did yellow submarine. I got a late start this
Month and it shows. I had a hard time
Stretching from 5th to 7th fret. I have
An unusually small pinky so that kind of
Stretch is difficult for me. And I struggled barring the D chord and getting the E and A String to ring clean.April 30, 2022 at 7:31 am in reply to: Participate in the April 2022 Member Challenge – WIN $6,000 Kanile’a Ukulele #51733

jlbrossParticipantSo bummer. Practiced carol of the bells and while I knew it needed to be Submitted Before end of month, I didn’t realize it was the 23rd. Oh well. I really enjoyed learning it. Also I know you are keeping a tally. I donated $15 to the uke kids club.
Merry Christmas to you and your Team Andrew. Thanks for all you do. -
