Here we are Jan. 16th, two weeks to get the goals advanced. I may have been a bit aggressive in my self challenge, picking two pieces to work on. Fur Elise is coming along and I should have a more fluid version before January ends. Freight Train is more involved particularly in the strumming patterns and how different the B section is from A and C. I am enjoying getting ti know you guys and hearing your ukulele journeys. Lots of practice hours…good thing it is January and work is slow. Persistence.
here is a link to Fur Elise:
CORRECTION….I will work on the RC101 lesson “Freight Train” NOT “Folsom Prison Blues” for the January Challenge.
Freight Train is in the Lesson Bank, Folsom Prison is not.
I have already benefitted from and have become familiar with RC101 by reviewing left and right hand technique basics video lessons…good stuff. Links to lessons inside lessons are user friendly…easy to use.
Hello RC101 Challenge-
I am a new member of the community. My goal for January is to learn how to use the RC101 facilities by completing two lessons from the curriculum. I have decided on 2 “F” pieces: “Fur Elise” and “Folsom Prison Blues”. A classical piece and a country tune that may show the versatility of our beloved little four string instrument.
EXECUTION – First I will listen to both lessons in entirety, then I will commit 30 minutes daily of practice to each piece for the entire month. While using the lessons, I will navigate the tools and buttons to become familiar with how RC101 works.
APPLICATION – While I primarily have been focused on notation, I see that RC101 uses Tablature. This will help me become more familiar with Tabs. I use low 4th string for the most part and will include a high G instrument from time to time.
EVALUATION – I will keep a practice log with comments as the month progresses. I will video some early-month, mid-month and end-month practices to determine progress. The goal is not perfection in the pieces (I do hope to become proficient in both) but a more solid understanding of how to best use RC101.
