@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 😅
Lovely submissions all!
Here’s my take on Free Fallin’, adapted a tiny bit to suit the low G/baritone:
@grannieannie thank you so much! Really appreciate the kind words 🙂
@nelsonlin2021 Thank you so much for your compliments and taking on my composition! Agree with Andrew that you nailed the intro and the feel!
@leb397 lovely performance and thank you!! The banjo ukulele is so cool
@The_Bumble_Bard the honor is mine. Thanks again for your kind words and for selecting the piece. You played it beautifully and absolutely did it justice! Very proud
@brettboy Your take sounds wonderful! Thanks for picking that and capturing the feel so well! It’s so cool seeing how everyone interprets it in their own way, giving it their own touch
@otzepeng thank you! Your take on Duality is gorgeous
@bohdan Lovely performance. The intro is flowing very fluidly. Thank you!Everyone aced it!
thanks @Andrew 😊😊
Here is Duality, playing both melody and lead. It was a bit tricky having to find ways around the super extended reaches on the baritone, and I could have slowed it down a bit but I got carried away! 😂 Very sweet composition @Andrew!
@The_Bumble_Bard thank you, I very much look forward to your performance 😊Thabks @Andrew, @ldarrow and @jbmills07 🙂
@ldarrow, yes he does… good luck and I look forward to hearing it out. Just slow it down as much as you need. You got this!Beautiful @deadbuggy and @jbmills07!
I went with ‘3 Levels of Walking Bass Lines for Blues Ukulele’ for this month.
It was challenging to say the least… Didn’t help that I made it extra harder on myself by choosing to play it on the baritone without a capo, which meant the stretches and chord changes were something else at the speed required… I would have practiced more but I have a short month.Thank you very much @grannieannie, @lindallk and @Andrew 😊
It’s been lovely listening to everybody’s growth over the years. So inspiring to keep pushing.Post #1
Hi! I am revisiting Spanish Romance from 3 years ago! 9th submission out of 46! Time flies and it’s been fantastic to be part of this lovely enriching RC101 Community (thanks again Andrew and team for all that you do).
I am working on making the notes connect/ring better and continue on building the appropriate expression for it. I chose it too because it’s one that I have dropped from my memorized list of tunes and would like to bring it back.
thanks a lot @the_bumble_bard, @dianna, @gi_gi_ and @leb397 🙂
Loving listening to all the submissions. Everyone is amazing!thanks a lot @grannieannie and @emiliano 🙂 Lovely rendition of the 12 Street Rag @Emiliano and I look forward to listening to your take @grannieannie!
