…are here is St.Anne’s Reel

Andrew, in the end I decided to “switch” from left hand form 2 to form 1 at 00:19 seconds…couldn’t get to play the high G chord (5-7-7-0) with form 2 🙁

Hello everyone!

This month I guess I had more time so I learned both songs. Not perfect and sorry for the bad sound…my iPhone is starting to die on me haha. Here is the Etude:

Thank you!

Hi Andrew,

One of my biggest problems every time is choosing (or transitioning) between left hand form 1 and 2. For example, in St. Anne’s Reel, for some reason the first 3 bars I’m feeling more comfortable playing with left hand form “1” (big U shape, as shown in your lesson on that subject) and then bars 4-5-6 I’m more comfortable playing with left hand form “2”. I don’t have too much trouble transitioning from form 1 to form 2, but when I get to the end of bar 6 and going up the neck again, i’m really struggling to transition from form 2 to form 1 without holding my ukulele with my last fingers of my right hand, or otherwise the neck of my uke “drops” and the flow of my playing stops and feels clumsy. I tried “fixing” this problem with staying in form 2 all the time but i’m struggling with that too when I go up the neck (for example for the high G chord 5-7-7-0). I hope I’m clear, but in the end the main problem in my playing is transitioning smoothly from left hand form 2 to form 1. Any tips?

Thanks!!
Sam

Hola everyone,

I never tried to write my own song as I’m a beginner and not very inspired right now unfortunately, but hearing all your original songs makes me want to try harder! So maybe the next original song challenge will be my time to shine ;). In the meantime, here is my take at Wonder Part 2. Cheers!

Here is my very last minute attempt at Day-O. Sorry for the many errors, I literally learned that song in the last hour because I’m so last minute for the challenge!

It is also my first ever post/participation as I am a recent member, so I want to take this opportunity to tell all of you guys from RockClass 101 THANK YOU for all the great videos! I really enjoy the teaching by all the staff, good job! 🙂
