Thank you @The_Bumble_Bard and @Andrew!!
Thank you @leb397 ☺️
Wonderful submissions everyone.
@leb397 so sorry for your loss, beautiful tribute indeed.Here’s my take on Red is The Rose with some adaptation for low G:
Nice! @Andrew, which of these would you say are Low-G-friendly? Thanks!
Thanks @The_Bumble_Bard and @leb397 ☺️
@Shmu88 lovely take! That Uke you are playing looks gorgeous. What is it?
Thanks @Andrew 🙂
Hi RC101!
I had so much fun learning and recording both melody and rhythm for the exquisite Valse Venezolano by Antonio Lauro. Thanks @Andrew for a beautiful duet arrangement!
The biggest challenge was bringing it up to a speed of 100% (so fast!!) as some parts were getting muddled, but here it is finally! First time experimenting with a side by side editing. Not as hard as I had anticipated.
Loving everyone’s submissions so far!
Thank you very much @wannabgood, @muzikmama, @The_Bumble_Bard, @leb397, @gi_gi_, @akukes73 for your lovely feedback! Everyone did wonderful this month!
And congratulations to @mysticrick and @ccwuke!Thanks @wannabegood and @Andrew!
So fun to see what everybody’s been up to!
This is my 2-week progress with Malagueña. I will not be able to post another video at the end of the month as I have a work trip but I will continue to finesse certain parts that need it.
For now, happy of where I am at in terms of the set goals 🙂This was a super fun experience, thanks @Andrew!
This month’s challenge is super fun – an opportunity for creative and constructive auto-analysis at any and every level! Thanks RC101!
1) Execution
I consider myself an intermediate player aspiring/pushing to become a seasoned/proficient intermediate player by continuing to work on expression and feel, especially in fingerpicking, which to me is the most telling sign that someone is at that more advanced level.I’ve also always been mesmerized by how cool flamenco and Spanish style picking/strumming is. Separately, I find it really impressive when I see/hear people doing harmonics successfully. It both looks and sounds cool.
This is all to say that I am interested in learning a new picking technique – the triplet picking technique and then applying it to something like Malagueña for this month’s challenge. Malagueña brings all of feel, Spanish style playing, and harmonics (if I take that route on a couple of instances) into one beautiful and addicting composition.
My plan is to start off by studying through Taimane’s video or Matt’s lessons on the Triplet picking technique (EP011). I will practice daily until I feel I have mastered it – where it feels natural vs something I have to constantly think about executing. In parallel, I will review Rasgueado and Picado, and continue to practice nailing/polishing my harmonics (right now I am at a hit-or-miss situation with the latter 😂).
2) Application:
When those are down, I will start learning Evan’s version of Malagueña, taught by Andrew. As the month goes, I will make sure that I am playing it with expression and feel.3) Evaluation:
The end goal: by the end of the January, I am comfortable playing it with all these parameters, by memory.
I will keep evaluating my progress week by week.Thank you @leb397! And lovely job memorizing the piece!
thank you @Andrew!
