otzepengParticipantHey @malku2603 ….
as we all saw last month, you’re loving the challenge – so why you do’nt try Matt’s “Tropical etude”? Nice movement over the fingerboard, doublestops and moderate tempo …
truly a chance to work further on you’re picking-skills.September 6, 2025 at 7:11 am in reply to: Join Our September 2025 Member Challenge – WIN a $150 Uke Republic Gift Card! #75842
otzepengParticipant@marianne: That was a great take, flawless played … the only thing i mention is that the submission ends so fast 😉….
otzepengParticipantNice! I’m glad that you’re making such a good progress. The “Sort-function” is a good idea, pop-up for mobilty-use and improved categories are also great. Congrats for this so far.
Will there be a “Dark mode” for the whole page?

otzepengParticipantAnd now it’s time for me to share some warm words. What a great month with all of you! So much heart, ideas, talent. The unbelievable @katazumiri – onewomanband just flashed me with a song i never took seriously – till now, @brettboy just wowed me and @marianne delivered so much feeling. @jasdel: such a great blues: i ordered me a slide-tube immediately. And i took out my old Kalimba because of @johanna2509: it sounded just dreamy how you played harmony and melody. I not named you all but my hugs fly out to everyone who took part!

otzepengParticipantHeyho Rockclass,
her i am with my very first try of arranging a chordmelody. First i was on fire, spend many hours by pointing out the right notes, write the Tabs, try to play it and then the worklife ( i had to return to :/ ) overwhelmed me and i did’nt worked on it more thank two weeks. At friday i was not sure about the whole idea and struggled … Do i post something or just apologize ?
Nevermind .. this evening I gave me a kick in the a** and here it is. I hope it will do justice to the original.-

otzepengParticipantThanks @nat-uke for the explanatory video; everything is very comprehensive and clear. Those little things have really changed a lot for me… I can still remember, with a cold sweat, my struggles with my USB condenser microphone on my PC. I’m always surprised by how great the quality is (for me as a novice).
But the best thing is to see how the people here in the forum are engaging with and supporting the new technology, and yes, hopefully many will benefit from it – whether they record themselves or can enjoy your recordings.
Best regards,
Markus
otzepengParticipantYes! Rocktober! 🤘🏼
…. Maybe a good reason to put some weird filters or distortion over the acoustics… 🤩I’m excited … like … those guys:

otzepengParticipantHeyho Rockclass,
I’m a little bit late this month. I just arrived back home after vacations on a beautiful greek island. We drove there through the Mountains and i decided to listen to “Third” from Portishead, an album i did not listening to for many years. And, surprise…there is a nice little UKE-tune on it called “Deep Water”. As i looked after it i recognized that there are many covers of it on YT but i was’nt able to find any Chord-Melody.
So here is my Challenge:Execution:
Learn the chords and/or progressions of “Deep Water” and build a Chord-Melody Solo. Therefore i got to find out which in which key it works best for me, write it down and of course learn to play it.Application: Finish step one and do not overwhelme myself with it 😂. Practising ….until i’m ready for:
Evaluation: Play and record it for you! (wish me luck …😏)
I’m really excited, as every month, to read/ listen/ and watch for your entries!
P.S. On Corfu i met one nice dude who made me a little Uke from Olivewood. Here’s a picture:

otzepengParticipantWelcome Sammy! It’s great that the @4stringboy joined Rockclass as an instructor. I really love to play around with harmonics, they always bring a little more magic into an arrangement and you’re definitly the man for it. I hope that we’ll also get the opportunity to play to you’re backingtracks also 😏.
Maybe you’re doing something from “Radiohead” for us ….some day …. 🤔. The “Interstellar-Theme” was a great starter and i’m sure that we’ll all take profit from you’re teaching!Markus

otzepengParticipant@gi_gi_ I thought that the green light stands for “noise cancelling” .. but, no matter – the sound of the recording was great. 🤗
