I love playing in low-g, though I had a bit of trouble with muting as I’m not yet used to the concert size. I really enjoyed learning this song. Happy holidays everyone.

I really enjoyed learning and practicing this tune. It stretched my memorizing skills though, phew, in a good way. I feel I am slowly gaining a better flow with my fingerpicking and I’m plucking the strings less forcefully. I still really struggle with trickier chord transitions no matter how much I practice.
I have a couple of mutes in my performance but overall I’m happy.

Thank you for the encouraging feedback and for the excellent lesson @Steven

I completely didn’t realize my overcomplicated double stop in there – no wonder it took me longer to master that part 😅

This was a lot of fun to play! After submitting I noticed the mic picked up my boys playing in the background, oops haha!

Thanks @Andrew for the feedback! Much appreciated. I’m glad I wasn’t overextending too much with the tune pick.

And so exciting, big congrats to you @kittycatlin 👏 😃

Been wanting to learn this song and glad I had the challenge to motivate me haha. I tried so many takes to record this and I felt so tense in my playing but I am happy I finally got the harmonics to ring, especially the second one.

Thanks Andrew, I appreciate the feedback 🙂
Accenting and dynamics is a struggle, as I’m focusing so much on not muting ha, especially when barring. I will keep at it!

I know I am past the deadline to be included in the contest but I hope I can still get feedback 🙂

Wowza. This song. Rainbow Connection is a lovely piece, really fun to learn and it taught me a lot. It also really shows off the weaknesses of my novice playing, so I’m interested to hear critiques/observations. I didn’t realize just how much I tend to pluck/attack the strings until I watched the video haha.

Thanks for another great tutorial.

I also really enjoyed watching everyone’s submissions – great job everyone!

Wow Jerry that’s incredible! I am an illustrator and am always amazed by the creative ability in woodworking. I love seeing the progress pictures and the finished ukulele is beautiful. I’m excited to hear it!

My submission of Yankee Doodle! I am a beginner of 3 months so this song was a great way to practice those tricky double stops. I am still working on my right hand form, something I noticed even more when recording myself ha. I love the end harmonic but I am still working on the timing so that it rings out. Thanks Andrew for another awesome challenge this month!
