@camper I love that you are a camper in Japan. Do you have a caravan (trailer/RV) or tent? My husband and I have camped for almost 15 years all around our states and I always bring my Ukulele. Not confident enough to play in big groups but getting up my nerve. Pictures of you travel with you Uke would be fun to see.
Remember when you respond to someone you have to type their “name” exactly with *-!_ or any marks and precede with the @ you almost had it with @gi_gi but needed the extra underscore 🙂
YOU’LL love Rock Class 101. Louisa@mikeramsey2 That was lovely. Very nicely played.
@camper welcome. I know you chose the perfect site to start your Ukulele journey on RC101. This is the site I joined almost 4 years ago when I knew nothing about Uke or playing an instrument. Follow the lessons then choose a song you like in library and learn it. I found that to be most rewarding because I could “play” something. Good luck. This is a very encouraging group! Louisa
Ps make sure you check box below so you see future comments, maybe you knew that but took me few times to catch 😉@Andrew Oh, forgot, I made a donation to the Kids Uke music! What a Great organization.

Everyone is off to a great start! @the_bumble_bard, love that you are showing your progress and shared the “goofs” we all try so hard to hide and STILL it was good. It’s a hard piece and think @andrew should list it as advanced (ha ha).
I chose God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen and got a head start in November with LOTs of practice. Memorizing this was probably the hardest I’ve done and strumming with thumb may seem easy but to make is sound decent … it wasn’t. Anyway – kudos to the song choices for December and thank you @Matt for this arrangement and I might even work on @Steven “Nutcracker” arrangement if I get time. 🙂@the_bumble_bard if you only knew the struggle 😆. I try. Wish more players shared their tech. OR need to hangout with some tweens. Enjoying your “loopy” journey
On to December! LouisaAnother challenge done. So impressed with entries and stories of struggle. I’ve watched every one. So many stand out. The duets were impressive. Extra kudos to one on the last by @sarrafina. So pretty. Congrats everyone. Louisa
@surferjay very soothing. Enjoy your posts. 🙂
@brettboy really enjoy all your performances. Your IG page is great too. You make playing look effortless. :). Louisa
That was so pretty @marlongas. Your picking rhythm sounds perfect.
🙂So impressed with entries and the stories behind Zelda. I wasn’t that familiar and did a bit of research. Music is so amazing.
@andrew thank you for positive comments!looking forward to some holiday music. Hopefully the two resent lessons are included. Try to get a jump on December 😉
@dianna don’t think your Zelda song posted either time ?
@mueleski
Just put @ in front of their “name”. It tags them or notifies them through the forum you are in. Also make sure you check the box below to ” notify me of followups…”

I selected Song of Storms to show my new Low G Ortega Pineapple Uke! Thanks Uke Republic – love it.
Louisa@smokealot, I remember this Ted talk. It is just one reason I play with the Uke. I have no goal for Carnegie Hall but the joy of accomplishment is all mine.
Everyone is on a different path @the_bumble_bard states. Practice is time spent. “Obligations “ get in the way, work, family, to do lists and then you have age – parts take longer to learn. I’m at a place in life, retired and just love learning some new song. I play for me rarely in front of anyone. (except my recordings on RC101)😆
So ? Is 3 things
Self accomplishment
It’s my time, alone in a room 1,2,3 hours
Community with others with similar goals and language, being a part. 😊 But whose counting…
