Thank you so much @leb397 😊😊 look forward to hearing whatever tune you pick
Hey friends! what a lovely selection to pick from!
I went for Sunset Skip as my heart skipped a beat the first time I heard this super catchy syncopated tune and gorgeous dreamy chord progression. Thanks @mattukulele for such an inspiring piece to end the summer with.
@Andrew can’t wait to see all the website updates! 🙂Thanks @grannieannie, @dianna, @karenj and @otzepeng! Everyone is sounding so wonderful! proud to be part of this lovely musical group
no worries @gi_gi_! look forward to hearing it when it’s ready. Thank you!
Here is my take on the Andalusian cadence by Marco Cirillo:
Hey friends!
This is a fun challenge.
I was travelling the first half of the month and could not get to picking anything without the context of a uke in hand.Execution: I am going to learn an Andalusian cadence.
Application: I will apply the chord progression to a version by Marco Cirillo in Bm. What is interesting about it is the different picking patterns as you progress in the tune.
Evaluation: I plan to focus on feel as a measure of success/interpretation.Thank you very much @gi_gi_ and @The_Bumble_Bard! 😊 both your performances are lovely!
Thank you so much @leb397 ☺️
Carlos Fabio is a Enya Nova U Pro (tenor)@Andrew 😁 and thank you!
2 weeks to do all that…?! there is no waaay! How on earth? 😅 he is truly incredible and how richer we all are that you put him to the test 😆
@grannieannie thank you too! I tried my best to record a version without the buzzes etc but impossible at this point in time. As Andrew said, a kick in the butt for sure! I pushed it and my left wrist is swollen 😆 I will keep practicing itHi RC101 friends,
I’m really enjoying everyone’s submissions—so inspiring!
I’d like to introduce you all to Carlos Fabio (short for Carbon Fiber 😉), my new, travel-friendly companion for the summer while I’m back home. I do miss Barry, no doubt!
As if adjusting to a new instrument wasn’t challenging enough, I somehow decided to take on Moonlight Sonata for this month’s challenge—clearly hypnotized by how breathtaking Evan’s arrangement and performance are. Absolutely stunning!
Midway through the month, I seriously considered giving up. It felt overwhelming—definitely beyond my skill level. But then I revisited Andrew’s lesson, and it gave me the push I needed. Thank you @Andrew for breaking things down so clearly and helping make those “impossible” chords and stretches feel manageable.
Evan, I hope I did your beautiful arrangement some justice. I’m excited to keep learning beyond the excerpt!
Oooh @Andrew, yes you are right! I misunderstood. Thanks a lot for the video! I will definitely try it.
Thanks @Andrew! Am doing that the first time into the chorus. The second time gets trickier because of the last last chords of measure 26 being 0 7 8 8 vs 0 0 8 8 like the first time around 😅
