Thanks for the feedback Andrew.
Yes, some parts are definitely rushed, even my performance length is way shorter. I could’ve worked on it if I had the time but this month’s packed. Hopefully I can tackle the June challenge with a much better paced performance.
Thanks again!
LOL amazing performance @bethany_guardiani
That beginning “whoosh” was unexpected.

Unfortunately I didn’t have enough time this month to put together a perfect piece, only been playing for the last 3 days. I won’t have access to my Ukulele from tomorrow so anyways, here’s my attempt at this month’s challenge performing Smoke on the Water.
Thanks for your input Lisa.
I live in Bahrain. The only Ukuleles available here are the ones I linked above.
There’re barely any Uke players here, atleast I’ve yet to encounter one. I will check out Islander and if it’s a budget brand of Kanilea that should be good enough. Maybe I could research on YouTube/Google or something. Regardless thanks for the input!
Awesome performance, I too am an avid Zelda fan and the beauty of this piece is that it sounds equally great when played on a slower tempo too.
This was the first tune I learned, even though it was meant for seasoned beginners, and also the reason why I joined RockClass101.
Thanks Andrew for the great tip and taking time to record a video, much appreciated.
Your gym-uke analogy was exceptional, this is why I love RC101!
After playing for all these months I’ve realised that I’ve set into my own “comfort” zone and I only aim to learn songs that are within that zone or have a slow tempo, which is definitely causing this “plateau”.
I’ll begin working on the transitions the way you explained, start slow and gradually increase the speed. Thanks again for the tips 🙂
Will check out Matt’s video now.
Tunes I’d love to see a tutorial for:-
– Ballad of the Goddess (it’s like a reversed Zelda’s Lullaby, which was already covered by Andrew)
– Dearly Beloved (Kingdom Hearts)I AM A PREMIUM MEMBER.
Alright so this is probably too early but at my current level this is the best I can do, I’ve been playing this piece almost every other week for quite awhile now since I LOVE ANIMAL CROSSING. Please Andrew do more video game covers? Thanks :). Would really love some tips on how to do those fret jumps without the pauses.
P.S- Did I say LOVE animal crossing? Video is the proof 😉
Welcome to the family Ashley!
Those are some really great vocals, can’t wait to see what the future brings!
Would love to hear a cover by you of How Far I’ll Go from the Disney hit Moana <3
So the singing part is optional for LOVE? There’s no way I’d ever get the courage to sing as I sound like a broken record, lol.
For a change I already have one of the songs memorised as I couldn’t stop learning Into the Maze when it released. So beautiful!
Now to practice and get the timing right.
