Thank you, Andrew, that’s the song!
So, I would like to provide my 3 Steps for Improving Theory:
1. First of all, I would like to emphasise that I found that Execution-Application-Evaluation theory methodologically smart and helpful, no doubts, for all the ‘students’ who are on the way of achieving their goals. Those steps 100% correspond to S.M.A.R.T goals (specific-measurable, relevant, etc.) that are used now by the greatest teachers and help many people not to give up. So, I am really happy that such a practice was organized here, and the ability to attract people and motivate them to improve not chaotically, but according to some schedule – I think that’s what we call a great teaching example (and learning).
So, *Execution*. First, my practice schedule (I bought my ukulele last summer) has become regular only with monthly challendges and signing up for membership in general. I used to learn with Youtube videos (Rock Class 101 and others), but it was something incomplete and I used to practice ‘here and there and everywhere’. With song Sheets, that nice program, 2 parts videos – feeling that you can move step by step has appeared. I practice now everyday now, min 15 minutes if I don’t have time at all, about 30 minutes in general. I am working at adding backbeat now, and I would like to move left hand along the fingerboard smoothly and confidentally because 1) I will need it in most of the songs I like in the 4th Level (e.g. Sultans of Swing) 2) in the style of playing that is starting to form it will be important.
BY the end of the month I would like to be able to perform 2 Chord Jam fully and without mistakes.2. Application
– As far as I understood from the task – I should also choose one song where the technique is used? If so, let it be “Paint It Blacker – EP007”, as it’s great!3. Evaluation
I believe it’s good to constantly to report (to yourself and to your Guide if you have it) to assess your progress – so I think it’s worth it to report once a week to ‘ginger’ (hah I’m not sure about how that sounds in English))) yourself and your progress.That’s it, good luck to everyone!
Hi, everyone!
Could you please help me to find a piece I really planned to use for this month challenge? I started playing it before August challenge was launched (I was practicing Waimanalo for that one) and I was really attracted by that backbeat, but I stopped as Waimanalo blues was also based on that technique)
Here is a piece I remember by heart, I’ve looked through the site, but I totally can’t find that video anywhere! I would like to write my 3 steps motivation plan about this technique!
Hello, that’s my SpongeBob try shot that appeared to be a real challenge for me, that’s all I have managed, but I’m not giving up)
Hi, this is my effort to play Ode to Joy, I did the best I can for my current level!
