Thank you Mr. Bones! I already have an electric bass with metal wound strings, so I’m leaning towards the rubber for a more acoustic sound. I do have a bass amp too. Great advice thank you again.

I donated $25 to UKC. Not sure if this counts, but I don’t have a u_bass so I recorded Stephens Silent Night on my Fender bass. Very nice job on this one Stephen, the chords voicing are beautiful for this song.

I chose Goodbye Summer for this months challenge, which ironically was recorded on my first day of summer vacation!
I have not been playing very much recently, and the barre chords were a challenge for me, especially to hold them and keep the intonation in check. I put a tambourine on my door to add some rhythm. Happy Summer all! Mike
I chose to revisit If I Fell by the Beatles. I’ve included the video from 5 years ago. I’m going to focus on playing the melody with more musicality, and less bending of strings to improve overall intonation.
@andrew thanks for the feedback and kind words, and Great job on your performances everyone!
Hello all, for this challenge I chose the fingerpicking song (with some strumming) Magic Ukulele Waltz. This was really fun to learn and play. It has a catchy melody, and very lyrical B section. I attempted to add dynamics and some articulations to enhance (hopefully) the style and energy of the composition. Thank you Roy, Ukulazaza, and Andrew for the fun song and transcription!
Congrats @abster and @leihali! @stephencox thanks for the feedback, sitting on the couch for comfort not always the best for handposition lol! See you all at the February challenge!
@dianna thanks, I really enjoyed your banjolele, sounded great on a challenging song!
Hi everyone, I’m not sure if I still qualify since I didn’t post any progress, but either way I wanted to share my new composition “Kitty Run” for ukulele. Inspired by the 3 kittens our family recently adopted. This is my 3rd composition, the first two I wrote for previous challenges. I hope you enjoy, and it looks like nice progress everyone is making towards their goals-congrats all!
1. Execution-for the month of January I have been working on ideas for a new ukulele composition. I have been recording ideas as I’ve practiced the past few weeks. So far I have recorded two original compositions for previous challenges.
2. Application-take these ideas and work them into my 3rd ukulele composition. Explore a variety of finger picking and strumming patterns.
3. Evaluation-complete, title, and record the composition.
