    Happy holidays everyone! Another sweet challenge with incredible performances from the Rockclass 101 community! Great job everyone!

    Here’s my attempt at Hanukkah Oh Hanukkah

    I never get a recorded version that I like (sigh). Perhaps my personal challenge is acceptance. The most important part though…….It was FUN!

    Thanks Andrew and rock class 101 for yet another awesome challenge. Here’s my entry.

    Fingerpicking etude #28.

    I really love this etude and weeeeeew, some of those chord transitions like Cm –>Cm add9–> Cm(1)
    and then D(1) to D7(1) DAAAAANG! my fingers were like “What the heck?” HA!

    Another fun challenge! Thanks Andrew, I always have fun with these challenges. Everyone’s performances are incredible.

    I chose the walking dead theme as it’s one of my all time favorite series.

    It’s not my best performance but had fun.

    Thanks Andrew and everyone at ROCKCLASS101 for another wonderful opportunity to get outside of my comfort zone. So in the 11th hour, I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when my low G electric ukulele pick-up toggle switch got smashed rendering it not able to be amplified. So I took a chance and just played the song without amplification…it’s difficult to hear but I hope it still counts. Mistakes were made but I always have fun with these challenges!

    I had fun with this challenge! I’m a huge Stranger Things fan and had a blast learning this. I also really enjoyed listening to everyone’s submissions and seeing all of the passion for ukulele’s out there. Nice work everyone!

    I’m finding that I’m never great when I try to record myself…so there’s a few mistakes, but had a blast anyway!

    Thanks Andrew, for another great challenge!

    I everyone, Happy Holidays!

    I switched my G strings on my high and low G ukulele’s so that I could play Linus and Lucy better on my cutaway. LOL, so here is my attempt at Greensleeves on my newly switched Low G. :o)

    Thank you Andrew and Rock Class 101 team for creating such an amazing learning environment!

    Cauer2, Thanks so much for your kind and generous words. I totally hear what you’re saying about not being able to get the hands to do what ya want. Ha! I’m hoping to practice a bit more than I have been able to. Thanks again for your comments. :o)

    Andrew, Thanks for your feedback! I’ll check out the rhythm in bar 14 and watch your video to see how I can refine this a bit more! I really do appreciate how encouraging you are!

    I Love AJ’s arrangement of Can’t help falling in love! Thank you Andrew for these awesome opportunities to push myself and even overcome some stage fright that I apparently have while recording.

    Yikes, I decided to do this October challenge in the 11th hour. I’m absolutely obsessed with the “Disturbed” version of this song so I played it quite a bit slower. Well, let’s face it, it was also deceptively difficult for me for whatever reason. It also turns out that recording myself is a challenge like no other. LOL. Anyway, here is my imperfect rendition. Thanks, Andrew for providing such great songs to learn!

    What a fantastic challenge! I’m so grateful for this opportunity! I picked up my Ukulele for the first time in many years and decided to give this challenge a try. I definitely bit off more than I could chew, but by the time I realized it, I was in too deep. So I REALLY pushed myself to finish the song. So many things to work on, but this pushed me past my comfort zone in so many ways!
