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
@gi_gi_ me too. I immediately began to search in my brain for a song which deserves to be arranged by Matt. But wait …. i’ve got to win …. and wait … i got to choose a song from the WHOLE BUNCH… Aaarrrgggghhhhh! 😅
@leb397: you’re welcome. It was really a nice place at the boarder of the City. I was very happy to watch many animals there: different frogs, little snakes called “Ringelnatter”, Ducks and “Teichrallen”, different Bugs, Butterflys, Dragonflys and more ….
I was very thankful and felt a bit like as i was a child and we had much more biodiversity as nowadays.
The Mosquitoes where the “Part of the Deal” …@andrew, @abster & @gi_gi_:
Thank you very much for the kind words, I’m glad you enjoyed it. Unfortunately, I’m not so happy with the recording; I rushed through the piece (perhaps because the mosquitoes were chasing me?). Many of you give it more time, which, without exception, fits this chilled-out song much more. Also, the video and audio aren’t quite in sync. But enough whining, you asked about the microphones: They’re “Hollyland Lark a1,” available on Amazon.Greetings from hot Berlin

Heyho Rockclass,
here’s my recording for June. I found a nice pond for it – but the mosquitoes were biting me badly… I had the opportunity to try out my new Bluetooth microphones, thanks to the magnet, i can attach them directly to the sound hole. I was really pleasantly surprised by the quality – a real alternative if you don’t have a pickup installed (thanks again for the tip in the livelesson, Matt! 🤗). A big THX goes out to Steven for this gorgeous arrangement, it was so satisfying to learn and play it.
You guys did a great job again this month – it was a joy to hear all those fantastic entries – thank you!
See/hear you in July,
Markus
@johanna2509: a wonderful take and what a pleasent location you’ve chosen 😍. Did’nt knew where the Eibsee ist located, now i do …. some kilometers away from Berlin, hehe. For my summer-entry i’ll definitely play outside also. We got the perfect weather for it here right now. 😃
Heyho Rockclass,
five days to go to her gig here in berlin. I’m definitly excited and also happy, that my family will join me. Maybe i can let her sign my uke … 😏
@Kasia – we could share our impressions Here in the forum. I wish you a great festival. 🤗A friendly reminder to all WHO want to see her:

Heyho rockclass,
this month i gave my best to perform “Duality”. A great little tune and also wonderful played by Evan. I did’nt expected, that the cordchanges in the harmonypart are so tricky to do and they are still. Two weeks i had a great “Buzz-fest” and i was nearly desperate … but i got it down somehow. 😏
I’m deeply impressed by all those great entries this month, especially by hearing @Marianne’s wonderful “Contemplations”. 🥹
Hey Matt,
I find it difficult to get used to the sound of my uke when I record it with a pickup. Sure, every little mistake is immediately audible, and the pressure to avoid it increases. But there’s also this “technical” sound – nothing like the natural sound when I record with my smartphone, for example. My uke simply sounds more like the instrument I’m holding and hearing; with a pickup, it somehow becomes a little foreign to me.
I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels this way.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of a pickup vs. a microphone for you?Mahalo,
Markus
