I usually have difficulties, when I do a pull-off to a Barre chord. For e example I have a barre chord on the second fret and do a pull-off on the second string from fret 3 to 2. The string usually sounds like muted. What can I practise to make the sound cleaner?
Thanks a lot!@Andrew thanks a lot for the great comment. I’m already working with the fingerpicking etude no.11 and it really helps to contol my right hand. Even tough it feels weird because I already got used to the other way of playing.

Here is my submission for the April challenge. I learned “Stand by Me” which turned out was a bit too difficult for my level to learn. But i thought about what Andrew said about stepping out of the comfort zone and try something new. That’s what I did and I still have a lot to work on it. There are still a lot of string noise, accidantely plugged strings, keeping the volume while doing the hammer-on/pull-offs and black outs while playing. Slowing the whole song down helped a little bit but I’m still not quite happy with it.
I’m back in Switzerland after traveling for 10 months in Canada and the US so i thought a mountain background would be nice for my first submission while i’m in Switzerland 🙂
I’m very curious about the feedback. Thanks a lot for watching.
I work on “Stand by me” for the monthly challenge which is an excellent song to work on hammer-on and pull-offs. There are two parts in the songs where I find it difficult to keep the volume steady:
1. Bar 28: I strum a F#m chord and than have to add a hammer-on with my pinky on the 2nd fret of the A – String. I feel like there is not enough space to place my pinky on the A string because I have to keep my ring finger on the second fret of the E-string to let ring out the chord.
2. When I have to play two or more hammer-ons in a row on the same string. For example on String A: 0-2-4. The sound gets softer after the second hammer-on.
I hope my question is not too confusing.
Thanks a lot!
ChristinaThank you all for the kind words!
@rickeymike: Yes we look forward to get home, but we defenitely want to come back some day. There is so much to see.
@robins57: Thank you so much! For me it was very inspiring to work woth you as well! Especially to hear you play on the harp.Hi everyone!
Here is my submission for the March challenge. I’ve learned “Red is the Rose” which I absolutely loved to learn and loved it even more to play. I remember I tried to learn it about 4 months ago and I couldn’t follow the lesson as it seemed to difficult. Now I tried again for this challenge and it felt much easier! 🙂
For this month’s submission I’m going to post two Videos:
– In the first one I’m playing with my friend @robins57 while she is playing the harmony on the harp.
– In the second video I’m playing at Peggy’s Cove in Nova Scotia, Canada. I started my travels with my boyfriend around North America here last June (where I met @robins57 btw). Now I came back here before we go home to Switzerland. It was difficult to find a spot where it wasn’t too windy, so I apologise for the video quality.
Very nice @stianukulele! love the U-Bass you added!
