@cyman_t That was great. It sounded really cool. You have inspired me. I’m going to start working on that strumming pattern song now. I have learned all those techniques separately, but have never tried to combine them.

I decided on working on the ghost strumming technique. I’ll still work on getting it up to speed but I wanted to get a recording done so I can stop saying ONE two and three and ONE two and three in my head all the time. I spent a lot of time watching World Cup games with a ukulele in my hands strumming away.
@brettboy Like you Í have also played Red is the Rose, Sakura, Cielto Lindo and also Kemp’s Jig. Right now I’m working on relearning Red is a Rose (I recorded it 7 years ago) and trying to get all the chords of La Vie working. I’ll see which one comes out better in the end

Both my kids were born in the 80’s so we listened to a lot of Raffi songs. This is one of my favorites. I decided to get the very shaggy, bored dog waiting patiently for her walk in the background.
Thank you @Andrew, it is a beautiful arrangement.

Beautiful song. A bit of a challenge for my arthritic fingers but I tried to do it justice.

This is two versions of April Smiles. I really liked the solo version slower. It sounds like a romantic waltz. The strum/solo version is faster, more like a jig. I like how the same song can have different feelings depending on how it’s played.
Here is my new attempt at Moon. While listening to the older version I noticed that I stopped and restarted the piece anytime I made a mistake. Realistically I know I am not going to get through a piece this long with an error or two so I focused on playing through my mistakes, trying to keep the rhythm going. It’s not perfect but I am happy with the improvement.
Great idea for a challenge. I don’t often take the time to keep up the tunes I’ve learned. I decided to revisit Moon by Taimane. I can’t believe I took this on for my second submission to RockClass101. It’s rough in places but I think I got some of the emotional feel of the piece.
Here’s the video from Dec. 2018. It might have an ad. YouTube just puts them there. I don’t know how to get rid of them. And I certainly don’t make any money from them. If anyone knows how to get rid of them, let me know.Thanks Andrew. I played it straight on the tenor, basically followed the recording but when I switched to the baritone I felt it needed some rubato and dynamics.

I learned it first on my tenor but for fun tried it on the baritone. I really like the it sounds.
