@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
@shmu88: i grooved on it … very well done 🤙🏼
Hehe, thx @abster, far away from divinty but i’m glad you liked it.
@Andrew: Thx for your friendly feedback. The bendings are one of some more issues since i blow the dust of my Tenor Uke and restringed it low g (maybe it still falls out of tune a bit faster as i recognized 🤔). It’s also a long time ago since i recorded everything directly via pickup and daw – you can hear everything very clearly …. for good and for bad.
I hope for another challenge in low g – so i can practice on those issues! 🤗I am Premium Member
Heyho Rockclass,
i also let the april smile 😊
A sunny tune, that was definitly joyful to play, thx Andrew and also Evan for the lesson.
I really enjoyed your entries this month so far – you’re all did so great!Thank you for the friendly feedback (as always ☺️)I’ve got not much experience with daw’s, plugins etc. It’s more like: “Uhhh, whats that? Yeah – sounds nice! … And this here? Yes – sweet! ….and so on. It’s definitly fun to play around with all those effects and i’m sure, that i’ll use it more in the future but i will take more time and care for “natural sounding” results.
Heyho Rockclass,
here comes my fresh attempt of “Always with me”.
It stills such a joyful tune and i think i reached my settled goals by playing it. I put some effects over it, i think it suites the song.It’s great to see how time and practice effects in everyones playing here and thrilling to hear your tunes from the past in a “new-spring-dress”.

Heyho Rockclass,
it’s one year ago that i tryed to play Stevens wonderful arrangement. Many issues left to improve: steady tempo, steady Hammer-ons and Pull-offs, playing verse 2 correct …. best requirements for the actual challenge. I also want to “roll” the chords because i worked for some time at technique and here*s the chance to try it out.
Here’s my original post from 27.2.2024
Heyho Rockclass,
i’d running out of time but i worked hard to get this wonderful tune down and i want to share it. It’s definitly not in my League but absolute fun to play! 😃
I’m very thankful to be introduced to the wonderful cosmos of Roy Smeck.Andrew …. If i see the actual march-challenge ( … i know, what to choose for ) and imagine you do this again in one year i definitly would return to the future with this song.
I was flashed about all the great entries last month – you all did it great!
…..and how many challenged this Waltz – Respect!” I won’t lie, I chuckled the moment I heard your fury friend sing, lol!” … me too just in the moment i wrote this down. Thx for your Feedback. I’m still work on the tune and the Video and hope to finish it before Christmas.
