Nice! 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?
And 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!

Heyho 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.Attachments:
Thanks @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
Yes! Rocktober! 🤘🏼
…. Maybe a good reason to put some weird filters or distortion over the acoustics… 🤩I’m excited … like … those guys:
Heyho 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:
PXL_20250812_1029442692_copy_768x1020 Welcome 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
And the 100th-Challenge-Win goeees toooooo:
@deadbuggy!
🥳My congrats! I’m excited which (hopefully iconic) song you’ll choose and how Matt’s Arrangement will sound like!
@gi_gi_ I thought that the green light stands for “noise cancelling” .. but, no matter – the sound of the recording was great. 🤗
@gi_gi_ Nice to see your new mic in action, i think it does a great job! 🤙🏼
@jobarjo454 A superb performance with great groove, timing & technique! I also love the goat 🤗Heyho Bumblebard,
what a incredible idea to reply to all of the entries ….but you always seems to like to talk and write much, so it suites you perfectly. Thank you for all of the work you put in it and the ability to heaving friendly and respectful word’s for all. Now i’m Not just heard all of the entries – i also read all of your replies and got another chance to improve my english in word and writing.
So, thank you again. For the 100th challenge i asume: This is a great platform and forum but it would be half as great without you.
Some day Andrew has to engage you as a mod in here in the forum i guess. 🤗🤙🏼Greetings from vacation,
Markus
Wow, what great posts this month! It’s been a pleasure listening through to this point.
@henri0 I’m so glad you chose “Black Hole Sun” too – and how impressive the result is. I love the little chucks in the verse and all the dynamics – great!
@Johanna2509 It’s nice to hear “Hope” again. That was the first song I ever learned at Rockclass, a while before I became a member. Because the song has everything, from hamper-ons and pull-offs, slides, and movement across the entire fingerboard, it’s become part of my warm-up. You played it really beautifully.& Thank you @gi_gi_
@Andrew: Thanks for your friendly Feedback,i think my take was OK but with my sticky fingers i did’nt changed the chords clearly and you often hear the c-string ringing through.
I was surprised and honored, that you added me in the newsletter – so here comes another big THANKS again! 🤗Heyho @gi_gi_ ,
the magnets doing a great job. I tried ’em at different places and they always held their position. Finally i attached one at my strap and the other at the sideport. I’ll do some recordings with just one mic and then with two when i’ve got time. The results (by my subjectiv feel 😏) i’ll post at the “Discuss your gear” thread.I’ll hope you and @leb397 will make good experiences with your new equip.
Greetings,
Markus
