I AM A PREMIUM MEMEBR! (I almost forgot that part)
I was not even going to post this month due to helping my daughter before and after her giving birth to her 4th child! She had a beautiful 11 lb. girl! wowza!
I found some time this last week to work on Etude # 26- Travis Picking, although NOT enough time to really tackle it well. So I’ll keep working on it.
I wanted to learn Travis Picking because it sounds great but it is Very challenging! I was also challenged by all the “stretch chords” in this song. Especially playing those chords on the Baritone! Thanks Andrew 😳 😜.
My Ohana Baritone has a built in pick-up/EQ so I was plugged into an interface and recorded on my MacBook Pro in PhotoBooth.
Andrew, I love the sound of this piece and I’ve been wanting to watch “Into The Wild” for sometime now, ever since I learned Eddie Vedder did the sound track. I love his Ukulele album!I Am A PREMIUM MEMBER
I have been busy helping my daughter get ready for the birth of her 4th child so I have not been
able to do much music this month. I chose Jail House Rock because I really need work playing along with some one else as a band. I have zero experience with that.
I didn’t get far with this song, sorry, and I guess it is late with uploading, but I thought I’d load it anyway.
I don’t expect feedback anyway, In already know what it will say! lol!
Also, this is the first time try to play along with a track on RC101. I recently bought a AKG microphone, an Interface and an amplifier. I’ve been having a very steep learning curve in using this new tech, but I wanted to learn how to record better quality videos and audio. I need to spend more time with the actually music practice!I AM A PREMIUM MEMBER
Happy Memorial Day 🇺🇸! I’ve got my Ahi Tuna seared and the Baby Back ribs are smoked. Then I recorded my video!
Ok Andrew! I got my video in before the evening deadline!
I would have liked to try Jump, it has some really cool riffs in it, but it is just beyond my abilities and time I have to practice! I almost did not work on any song but I wanted to post this month.
So I chose Smoke on the Water and started learning last week. It’s a blast! I pretty much have it memorized but my fingers were having trouble with the chords in the chorus. They have a mind of their own at times!😜🤙🏼🤘🏻
I will continue to work on it and I would love to learn the Bass part, also!
have an awesome Memorial Day. Remembering our fallen soldiers 🥰😭

Last ditch entry. I am a premium member
Edit: I got stuck in an error loop on my phone and i couldn’t get out until it was too late.
Here is my bad video attached correctly:
Also, my only Uke with a high G broke a string so I played the correct notes in a different form on a low G@Andrew – thanks, yes I had more trouble memorizing the B section, but also some of the fingering up the neck. I was really giving my pinky a workout trying the techniques Steven demonstrated. I have arthritis in my left thumb but I am not giving up! When I was learning the A section, it was easy to memorize and I was much more relaxed playing it (maybe not in the video but when I was working on it), so I will keep working on the B part and the whole song, because I love it!
Congrats to DeadBuggy!I AM A PREMIUM MEMBER
Ok, was recording several takes and somehow all my videos corrupted!
The program failed!
So I hurriedly recorded one more take to get it in just barely on time!Here my Spanish Romance.
I need more work but I really love this song and it was very challenging for me.Spanish Romance is on my Sleep Playlist and I just love it! It is so romantic😜 and relaxing!
I’ve been wanting to learn this song for a while! I’m sure I will have to take it in small chunks, at a slow speed in order to memorize it.
It will be a challenge but well worth it for a song that I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!I am enjoying watching all the entries this month. Good job!
The song choices were good in February but I was not able to participate this Month.
I was sick most of February, But I am better now so I will look forward to participating
in March!@katazumiri
I love what you did here! I just started learning Bass and I was thinking of doing this also. Yes, it is hard to synchronize multiple videos together! I don’t have the time!I AM A PREMIUM MEMBER
Here is my version of “Our First Song”.
The piece was easy and very fun. Easy enough
For me to memorize! 😝
I want to learn “Everlong” now, I love Foo-Fighters! Maybe a future lesson for “Times Like These…Learn to Live” is in order?? 😆@andrew
I also donated $51.43 to Ukulele Kids Club!
I know, odd amount! Apparently, last year I signed up to give every year automatically and it must be the exact amount for one ukulele!
It is an Awesome organization! Love what they do!
Thanks again Andrew!

As always, I am a last minute video loader!
My version of Carol of the Bells still needs lots of work.
I am a slow learner!
I love this song though, and I really enjoyed Steven’s lesson and arrangement
Of the song. I will keep working on it.
Thanks,

I had a hard time with the syncopation and the bar D. But I feel I made a lot of progress but still a ways to go! I played the timing by ear because I know the melody but I get nervous when recording. So when I thought I had it memorized, I would forget and there are slight pauses getting back on track! I love this song though, takes me back to my childhood. I will share it with my grandchildren!
@givingtree89
I totally agree! I LOVE the Golden Girls theme song 😍
