I was happy to donate $25 to Ukulele Kids Club, and thanks RC101 for for also contributing to this worthwhile charity!
Song Suggestion for next season: Mistletoe and Holly, by Frank Sinatra. I love the chords in that one, and struggled to figure it out. I think it would sound good on low G uke 🙂
Happy Holidays everyone!! MikeI AM A PREMIUM MEMBER
I always thought if there is a repertoire of etudes for ukulele, Andrew’s Fingerpicking Etudes are a staple among them! Each having a specific focus, they are also great stand alone pieces. Here is Fingerpicking Etude No.17, which I found very relaxing to play. I concentrated on softer dynamics, going for a chill performance.

Stressing the word challenge in this fall challenge! I enjoyed learning this one. Thank you for the great arrangement and video lessons Andrew. I’m enjoying everyone’s videos so far, good stuff keep ‘em coming!

Here is the debut of my new ukulele, won in the July challenge. It is a Kala tenor uke, complete with plug, built in tuner, and set up low G. Thanks to Andrew and Mike at uke republic, it plays beautifully and I am so appreciative!
Wow, thank you @Andrew and Uke Republic, how exciting!!
Aww, thank you @Ruthie-roo for your thoughtful feedback!!
Thanks @leb397! It was fun, he was singing and playing me his ideas on the GarageBand keyboard on the iPad-it was a neat collaboration!
Here is Picnic on the Porch, an original composition for ukulele my son William helped me compose! I tried using Campanella style by allowing the “g” and “a” open strings to ring out in the melody. We hope you enjoy!

A Premium Member who needs more time to practice his uke! Hoping to find more time to play uke this summer. I like this Tears For Fears song, and nice uke arrangement thank you.

I wish I had more time for this one. What a beautiful song! I will be working on this one more in the future. Thanks Andrew, a beautiful melody.

Malagueña, take 2!
I decided to relearn Malagueña, one of my favorite arrangements. I first recorded and learned the song 3 years ago, for a monthly member challenge. I decided not to listen to it, and begin relearning. This recording is a little slower, and the B theme, minus a couple misses, has more style and feel, I be;wife in part to the slower tempo. Very interesting to listen to my two takes and their differences, seeing as I learned them both from your video Andrew. Looking forward already to the March challenge, with so many good choices!@mysticrick I appreciate your kind words. Thanks for listening!
@bibilele, thank you, I enjoyed January Mood-so catchy I want to learn it! It would make a great duet, with one player playing the chords, and the other doing the melody part.
@sarrafina, great arrangement, and well played I’m impressed!
Here is my notation and tabs for Heavenly Light.
