I appreciate the congratulations @the_bumble_bard @terriert @lhamilton @ldarrow @gi_gi and @nelsonlin2021 – we’ll see about a song but I’ll definitely post a picture.
I won a Pineapple Uke… I keep telling my husband 😊❤️
Thank you @Andrew, Republic Uke , Rock Class 101GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!!!! @Andrew I am shocked. Just opened my email to see that I won the beautiful Ortega Pineapple Concert Ukulele!!! I’m lost for words but so excited. Over the moon. Thank you thank you.
I can’t say enough how impressed I am with the entries each month. I am a late starter on the Uke (4 yrs) and it is a constant struggle but I found Rock Class right off the bat, became a member and followed the courses so I owe so much to Andrew. I finally built enough confidence to enter my first challenge in April.
Last, I need to thank my husband who knew how much I loved music and surprised me a day in March 2018 with a beautiful Kala Concert. Now I have my second Concert!!! The collection begins. Yeah!!!!@Andrew thank you for the encouraging words. I know I’ve improved with these challenges and you keep them fun. Don’t know the last time I won anything (maybe a lottery scratch off $3) so that would be added bonus. Good luck to everyone!
My first try at an intermediate challenge. In the Summertime is such a great song and I tried to do it justice but so much practice and video takes, this was the best. HOW DO I STOP the clicking sound from my fingers??? Tried to strum softer on other takes and turn/flatten Uke more. Andrew, a previous entry had “chucking” and you made suggestions then – it’s funny, I tend panic when I do it… so funny. ANY W A Y.
Everyone did awesome and it only inspired me to try more.
Louisa@turkgoose WOW 👌 👏 just in awe of this month’s posts… I guess I better practice some more before I post Summertime. Louisa
Loved it @mark1256. You set the goal for me! I’ll be attempting it myself as my first “intermediate” entry.
Congratulations @nelsonlin2021 winning and your beautiful performance!
@Andrew thank you for pointing out the changes/mistakes I made in Etude13! Yikes, I just went back and replayed the whole lesson. Not sure how I missed the sliding on strings between notes… sounds better your way (ha). Appreciate the detail and time you give to critique. Thanks!
PS do you post the link when you pick winner 🙂
This is my second post with Etude #5 and attempt to travis pick. It is a slower version but eventually, maybe these old fingers with speed up. Of course, I too have a video fear (like many say) and getting a good video is hard without mistakes.
Thanks again Andrew.
Only count one entry since I am posting two… overachiever… ha haSo impressed with the entries and stepping up their “game” with location shots! I started with Etude #13 so I’m posting it first but I REALLY wanted to learn Etude #5 for travis picking. What a challenge, so I will post it after this one. Andrew, all the lessons are a real challenge and it has truly been a journey learning. I watch the other posts and often think – “Ill never be as good” but then, it’s all about the joy of learning for me. THANK YOU Andrew for inspiration with RC101. Louisa
@andrew I think you have date of drawing August 5th… I know it’s after 31st 😉
Congratulations @potato_lady !!!
Everyone really were amazing. So enjoy watching other performer.
Thanks Andrew. Fun month.My Aura Lee (Love Me Tender) entry. Took a while to learn the strum technique Andrew. I like the added emphasis. I need to practice more with it.
Really love this months entries with CRAZY and STAIRWAY… such talent out there.
Thanks again Andrew for the variety. P.S. enjoy your summer break in August… I hope to work on Mungo Jerry – In the summertime! Remember that 70’s summer ;} Louisa
