Like jinajupiter I’d love to see lessons on Flamenco techniques for example suitable strumming and finger picking patterns. Another topic I’m interested in is adapting rock songs to the ukulele. How do you choose what to pick, leave out or add so it works well on the ukulele?

Apart from my wishes, I want to thank you for all the great lessons you and your team have created and for how friendly and responsive you are in this forum. You make many people’s lives better by teaching music. I hope you’ll keep on being successful doing that.

Hi, here is my recording of House of the Rising Sun.

I really like the song and this arrangement. I knew the chord progression already which helped memorizing the arrangement. The strumming was a big struggle in the beginning and is still very challenging. For the picking part I found it easier to use the thumb for the G and C strings. I listen to a metronome during the recording and I use it all the time when practicing. I think it’s a great tool.

Thanks for this tutorial and running this challenge. I don’t think I was so focused on learning one piece for about a month before and I will keep working on it.
