leb397ParticipantOh my @gi_gi_ that truly was beautiful. So few completed the vocal and I loved it. Nicely performed considering you were a βlast minβ entry π
@akukes73 thank you for responding. Itβs a beautiful tenor. ππ
@bibilele thatβs one steady husband on the board with you π³π
@dianna I agree turning more songs into claw hammer. @the_bumble_bard Iβd love to see your process of transitioning into claw hammer or maybe Andrew has a course. Matt addressed it a bit when his lesson discussed changing up a song based on you @TBB with drunken sailor.
I like the Sept choices with mini lessons. Memorizing a 2+ min song isnβt easyβ¦ lots of hourβs practicing. Happy September πΌπΌπΌπΌ
And thanks again @andrew for creating this platform, especially for the chatting people πAugust 31, 2023 at 6:26 pm in reply to: Participate in the August 2023 Member Challenge: WIN Kala Ukulele! #58532
leb397ParticipantWanted to give extra kudos to a few but EVERYONE was so good. Those that challenged the claw hammer WOW! @misterbones I look forward to your entries and amazed how quickly you got this. I started but knew Iβd never get in a month. @abster crazy how well you and your sister performed. @karenj nice shirt and great take, @dianna too!
@Leslieβs barre cord were perfect! Andrew pointed out my need to work on them too. @bibilele impressive on a paddle board. How in the world you recorded a great take π±. @akukes73 what a pretty tone to your Uke. Is it a tenor, what brand?
@nat-uke nice to see 1st timer. I struggled so much to record and try to perform. Still do but we all had to start. Nice entry.
@the_bumble_bard loved your Fields. Very smooth, and enjoy when you show YOUR/OUR struggle when you played claw hammer. I thought you were getting it! I tried but up for Aug, Iβll have to go back because I love banjo and the bum ditty rhythm ππ good luck everyone , LouisaAugust 30, 2023 at 6:06 pm in reply to: Participate in the August 2023 Member Challenge: WIN Kala Ukulele! #58519
leb397ParticipantTHIS IS A SECOND ENTRY
I had to get on the Cielito Lindo train… so many great entries that I saw, I had to try it. I can’t sing and don’t know Spanish – but I can hummmmmm . Tried to work on the barr cords as @andrew recommended last month. My video didn’t catch my best but wanted to get this posted. A first for (hum/sing) while playing/recording… THAT’s a whole different bag!!! Also 2.5 min is long. I really wanted to speed up the second half – vocal but after reading what @Andrew said or discussed with @katazumiri (excellent btw), decided to keep slower rhythm throughout.
So many Kudo’s deserved to entrants. I’ll post after.Here’s Cielito Lindo

leb397Participant@rebeca thank you and @the_bumble_bard too, for kind words. (Ditto on the terror π«)
So glad I found RC few years ago. Playing gives me great pleasure and itβs just for me. Most of my family has never heard me play. This is a wonderful, positive group.
@shmu88 and @morrieuke1 well played! @ccwuke lovely Fields πAugust 16, 2023 at 6:59 pm in reply to: Participate in the August 2023 Member Challenge: WIN Kala Ukulele! #58407
leb397Participant@Andrew thank you. Iβm my worst critic so I always appreciate your encouragement. π Louisa

leb397ParticipantMy Heart will Go On is a lovely piece. I thinking playing slow is as hard as playing a more upbeat song. Especially after a villion recordings at 2+ mins. (argh!)
The song choices this month are all so great I want to learn all of them. I’ve fallen in love with Cielito Lindo and the entries. Kudos to all. I hope to do more with the claw hammer but it is more of a struggle.
This is what I’ve got…August 14, 2023 at 9:21 am in reply to: Participate in the August 2023 Member Challenge: WIN Kala Ukulele! #58390
leb397Participant@lhamilton that was beautiful. I remember a previous entry you performed whistling and was so taken by it. Lovely playing and singing like a songbird ππ. Good luck with moveβ¦
leb397Participant@the_bumble_bard
Hello friendio! I agree, a beautiful classical piece. Love your consistency in picking. That is difficult and you have mastered it. Great showcase ππππ¦August 7, 2023 at 5:16 pm in reply to: Participate in the August 2023 Member Challenge: WIN Kala Ukulele! #58347
leb397Participant@the_bumble_bard yes, I depend on the play-along feature and always work up speed so the vocal is an issue for me. Ditto of me singing π
Enjoy. Had a great rainy practice dayπ

leb397Participant@dianna π so true Rocky was actually hugging @jbmills07
Yes @TBB Iβm struggling listening over and over with vocal. Wish we had option to mute while learning because at 50% it sounds reeeeeeeellllly bad. Making me want to π«.
We shall overcomeβ¦ well itβs a good start at leastAugust 7, 2023 at 4:35 pm in reply to: Participate in the August 2023 Member Challenge: WIN Kala Ukulele! #58342
leb397Participant@jbmills07 agree with TBB. Great feeling. Isnβt it the way that you had just purchased the Kanelaβe. Exciting you chose the custom prize. Canβt wait to hear you play. Iβve Been working on My Heartβ¦ too and sustain isnβt easy.
@the_bumble_bard you crack me up π Iβm trying Beneath the willow at same time as My Heartβ¦ probably need to focus more π³. Anxious to hear what you play. Already some great entries this early in the month! That bum ditty isnβt easy with cord changes!August 2, 2023 at 2:15 pm in reply to: Participate in the August 2023 Member Challenge: WIN Kala Ukulele! #58313
leb397Participant@deadbuggy ARGH! Awful you broke wrist. Your folksy blues rendition says it allπ well done. Heal quickly. Louisa

leb397Participant@jbmills07 love it! That was a speedy postβ¦ let alone a great recording ππ love that the post cover, shows your smile. You have that beautiful custom Uke coming so we expect more grinning π Congrats again!
