@Andrew, thank you the the kind words. I went back and watched my entry of two years ago and was pleased it actually showed improvement! 😁. Thanks again.
@the_bumble_bard thank you for the comments and kudos. I have been doing more with clawhammer and hope to tackle a new song.
@gi_gi_ hope you get your entry in. I often make a quick comment when a challenge opens just so I can click the box and get notified when everyone enters. I’m sure you do the same. Hope you get your entry in.
@marianne – love that #26 so beautiful on the baritone. @karenj – you played flawlessly and always like your connection with the camera…
@lhamilton I have IMovie too and tried, on previous entry, to combine the audio and video – struggled because I didn’t have a mac but only the ipad. Good luck. you did a nice job on both parts. Anxious to hear what you use next.
@grannieannie the challenges are always a struggle for me. Old fingers don’t connect with my brain. I practice A LOT and find it just takes more time. I will pick a piece that I like and then say “WHY”, because it’s difficult – But it motivates me. Good luck with #17 and have great holiday.
See you all again in December! Louisa
PS – many more need positive comments but PLEASE KNOW this group rocks. Everyone is so good.TAKE TWO 😉
I AM A PREMIUM MEMBERI selected Etude #5. I believe I did this entry two years ago but still needed to “learn” it again. Love Travis picking so this was fun to do again.
HAPPY FRIENDS-GIVING EVERYONE!!!!!
LouisaAnd thank you Andrew and RC for all that you do to support this community. Not sure what I’d do if you were not here…. Let the sleigh bells ring!!
@dianna thank you… I know this group knows the amount of time it takes… a bit bummed with very busy week ahead. But I’ll get something done. You did a great entry with #5. I may try it too. Think I even didn’t it a previous challenge.
A quick shout out to @the_bumble_bard that was brilliant. Just love the claw hammer. So cool you tried that. Worked so well. 👏👏👏
@katazumiri so enjoyable, loved it. @nat-uke well, I guess I got more practice in for that entry 😆
Great challenge people!@Andrew YIKES… OK…. I’ll find one. Glad I posted early enough. It was fun to learn.

Decided to go with Etude in E (actually Am). I was able to play my low G because it wasn’t used in the three finger picking. Really like the harmonics and still working on getting everything clear. A forever struggle. Great pinky workout on this Etude. Thanks again Andrew and Stephen for a beautiful piece.HAPPY THANKSGIVING FRIENDS. I will comment soon, on some entries, as they are ALL amazing. Love that we have new members entering and our very talented, regulars. Louisa
@deadbuggy nice. Liked it a lot. @nat-uke totally agree, much more fun practicing for a song you like! @the_bumble_bard think I’m going with #20. It’s an intermediate challenge but all the things I can work on. Also has CAGED method like #4, we shall see. November is starting out busier than usual. Good luck everyone 🎼👏🎼👍 Louisa
@hotshot haven’t seen you post before. Great job and amazing performance!
@marlongas lovely playing and opportunity to hear them recorded. I was impressed with your October entry too. Very smooth playing.
What’s it gonna be @the_bumble_bard 🤔🤔🤔
@ukulelebetsy don’t get discouraged. Believe me I struggled five years ago and taught myself mostly from RC. It took a year before I entered a challenge and remember seeing others post an entry and was SO intimidated. I even asked @andrew were these people all professional? He told me to follow my path and not someone else. So stick with it, practice (as much as you can) make it fun but setting little goals – island strum was a big one for me, way back when, so already you are on your way. See you on a future challenge! Louisa
@shelle hi there, not sure if you have decided. I’m sure you have heard how important it is the play the instrument you are purchasing. I have “a few” ukulele’s now and I love my concert Kala. I fine it has great sustain and stays in tune so nicely. I used it for the October challenge if you want to see it. I’ve had it five years now. Wish you best. Beware, once you have 2 there’s no turning back…. They multiply 😆😁😆😁😆. Louisa
Way to go @grannieannie 👏👏 I felt the same struggle in my walking dead.
@the_bumble_bard I’m impressed you performed that with just few days of practice. Very nice. Two entries this month 👏😁
I’m amazed with those that really nailed Tocatta Fugue @abster @lhamilton @morrieuke1 @misterbones and Brett of course. Such emotion and talent. I love showing my family your entries and how great the ukulele can sound. Blue moon is beautiful too.
I know others have commented but Rock Class is a special place. Thanks @andrew for creating this musical community to grow.@Andrew thanks – yes it was YouTube requesting log in in order to view lesson or the tab player. I’ll check it out. Thanks. Louisa
@andrew thank you so much! Time to learn Blue moon
@dianna nicely played 👏☺️
AND YES @andrew I think @Dianna is right there is a glitch as @dianna says. I thought it was just me but I was with mysticrick yesterday and he too mentioned it and I agreed. It’s only been in October.Great month of lessons. Thanks Andrew and Stephen. Louisa
