@Andrew Thank you! I chose tone over speed this time 😉 I wish I had a bit more time to practice this month, but we’re actually traveling to California in a couple of days, for a well needed vacation! And thank you as well for your kind words about my ukulele — yes, she sounds incredible! I’m so in love with her!

Hej everyone! @marianne, you played “The River Song” so beautifully — I’m in awe! 😊
My entry is coming in early as well because I have a very busy month ahead. I basically recorded a few practice moments and hoped they would be good enough to share here. The Lullaby Medley, performed very slowly for very sleepy babies LOL. I also tweaked the pieces just a tiny bit for low-G ukulele.
Happy May to you all!@Monika101
Herzlich willkommen to RockClass101! 😊 I’m also from Austria, but I’ve been living in Sweden for the past 18 years. Love your beautiful Soprano, you played the Travis Picking etude so well!Thanks so much, @Andrew I really appreciate your kind words! Glad it came across well 🙏

Hi everyone! Fantastic entries so far!
Here’s mine. I’m hoping to record a better version before the deadline—I’m not quite where I want to be with this piece yet. There are still some irregularities, buzzes, and a bit of insecurity, mostly because I pushed the tempo faster than I’m fully comfortable with right now.
That said, Travis picking is a lot of fun! I even dug out a hat I bought in Texas back in 1999.
Gosh! That Kanilea ukulele is a stunner—I absolutely love mango wood! @malku2603, that’s a great start—well played! I’m currently working on the Travis Picking Etude. Travis picking is so much fun, and while I know the piece, I’m really struggling to match the speed Mika is playing it at. Luckily, there’s still time to improve.
@malku2603 👏👏👏 Happy birthday 🥳

Congratulations, your take on Winter Glass is the best here so far if you ask me! Beautifully played! You are very talented 🤙My submission for the March Challenge 🎶
This is my take on Winter Glass. Such a beautiful piece — I really enjoyed working on it. I love that it works with both Low G and High G.
Still a work in progress! I’m focusing on improving fluidity and getting rid of some buzzing, but I’m happy with how it’s developing so far.
I’m just sharing this for fun and to be part of the community — not entering to win that gorgeous Ohana ukulele 🙂 Good luck to everyone who is participating!
Looking forward to hearing everyone else’s versions — this community is always inspiring!
Thanks for listening 🙂
So this is it for February! Fantastic entries this month from everyone, congratulations! I really enjoyed every one of your posts! I’ve continued to practice Spanish Romance after I posted my entry last week and was able to build up speed. Besides the buzzes here and there I am really happy with the result. What’s next?

Hi everyone!
Here is my submission for this month. I chose “Spanish Romance” and adapted the arrangement for Low G ukulele. I have a very busy week ahead, so I’m posting a little earlier than usual. I’m hoping I might find some extra time to practice and possibly record another take—we’ll see! Otherwise, this is as good as it gets for now.
To @Marianne and everyone who has shared their performances so far—absolutely amazing work! 👏Awesome! 🤩 Thank you @andrew
Thank you, @The_Bumble_Bard, for your kind words! And congratulations to everyone who participated this month — the dedication and talent on display have been truly inspiring. Our shared love for this wonderful instrument really does make this such a warm and special community, and I’m very grateful to be part of it.
Greetings from Sweden to everyone around the globe! 🇸🇪🌍Thank you, @Andrew! This was such a fun song to learn, and it works beautifully with Low G — which is my favorite way to play the ukulele… at least for now 😄 I definitely go back and forth on that, LOL.
Please consider putting out more Low G lessons or songs — I’d really appreciate it!
The biggest challenge with this arrangement was the chord changes, but I’ve noticed that with lots of practice things are starting to feel much more fluid. The video you recommended with Matt was super helpful too.
Overall, this was really fun, and I’m very much looking forward to February. Since signing up as sa premium member, I feel like I’ve learned so much. Having monthly goals and being part of such a wonderful ukulele community is incredibly motivating! 🎶💛
