Hi @stianukulele, I’m working on Careless Whisper too. The good news is that there’s a lot of repetition within those 89 bars and Andrew’s Simplified Outro makes it shorter too. I’m finding it helpful to split the song into its sections and practice those individually:

Intro
Verse 1
Chorus 1
Refrain
Verse 2
Chorus 2
Sax Riff
Bridge
Chorus 3
Sax Riff
Outro

You really start to see where the repetitions are (Choruses, Verses, Riffs) and it makes it seem more achievable. Hope you have fun with it!

Hi Andrew! My name didn’t make it on the list (Premium Member) and brettboy appears for both songs he submitted (sorry Brett!).

That was great @santai — I really enjoyed your singing voice! I know exactly what you mean about challenges pushing you to try a piece you want to learn but are avoiding (this happened for me and Moonlight Sonata). Keep it up and be proud of your progress!

Thanks Ray, Jina, and @oldan_! 🙂

@oldan_ I highly recommend getting your hands on a Low G! It sounds great and RC 101 has so many good low-G arrangements. Take care!

Sorry @oldan_, I just noticed that Out in the North is labelled as a Low-G Lesson — though @annefgodfrey played it here with a high-G and it sounded pretty good anyway!

Solid performance, @shmu88!

Thanks Steve 🙂 Glad you enjoyed it. Stay safe!

@smokealot That’s so sweet!! I sang to my babies a lot (though they didn’t sleep so well).

@oldan_ The only song on the list that seems to require a low-G ukulele is Malagueña.

Thanks @miztaken, Lyndall, Chris, Will, and Brett! It was a months-long labour of love. 🙂

@miztaken I think I’ll check out Malagueña now, though you’re right, it does take the practicing/recording pressure off!

Nice one, Brett!

I learned Ain’t No Sunshine a while back and after receiving feedback from @Andrew, I kept working on it to improve my performance. It’s still one of my favourite arrangements from RC 101! Here is my updated recording from today:

Thank you for your music, Bill Withers. RIP.

Hi @spikey, from a fellow Canadian! It’s cold today, EH?

Have fun on your ukulele journey! This is a great site. I highly recommend using the Tab Player and participating in the monthly challenges. Take care and stay safe!
