@sprintingyogini: Wow, I think that’s a very good improvement within on week of practice!
Here are my recordings of the songs I’ve mentioned earlier how I play them at the moment. The first one is called “Etude in E minor”, it’s “e-minor” because it was originally written for guitar. For the ukulele it’s in the key of a-minor.
The other songs are “Daydreaming” and “Canon in D”
Execution: I play the uke since April and I have been working with a book until I found Rockclass101. I would say I’am an advanced beginner player but still have to work on my foundations. The songs I’ve learned so far still don’t sound clear through the whole song and especially when I have to use barre chords or when I have a difficult transition between two chords, even though I’ve been practicing them for weeks or for months. I’ve memorised them well enough but I’m still not happy with the sound. My goal for the month is to focus on that and play the songs as clearly and smoothly as possible. My plan: I’ll study the lessons “Proper Left Hand Form”, “Proper Right Hand Form” and practice the hammer ons and pull offs. I’ll work on the barre chords as well.
Application: I want to apply my practicing on 3 songs I’ve learned the last 3 to 4 months. That includes a song I’ve learned on my practicing book, it’s called “Etude in E minor”, “Daydreaming” and Canon in D (Only melody 1 to 5). Canon in D is a real challenge for my level but I just love it and sometimes you need a challenge to improve, right?
Evaluation: I will record myself every week and post my recordings here depending on how often I’ve got WiFi.

Here is my entry for the Dezember Challenge. It did not work with the Video recording this time. I had the impresson that my playing is too silent, but i couldn’t play it louder. I would make more mistakes if i play it louder. The quality of the sound seemed to be better, when i recorded it with my phone on soundcloud, haha.
Merry Christmas to everybody! 🙂
@becky7777: no I recorded it at the beach in the Redwood National park in Northern California! 🙂
Thank you so much! I head to record it about 100 times because I was nervous of making any mistakes 🙂

Here is my very first entry to a monthly challenge at Rockclass101 and it was the first tune I learned here. Thank you Andrew for the great and clear explanations. It was so much fun to learn “La gitanita” 🙂
Haha, that sounds funny. What’s the temperature like at that time of the year? We plan to drive from Washington state further south and then drive to the east coast from where we ship our van back to Europe.
That sounds awesome! Actually we plan to go to New Orleans! I think it might be somewhen in December or January. Always wanted to try beignets!
And I am really enjoying Rock Class! I’ve learned so much so fur by just learning “La Gitanita”. The other lessons are awesome as well! There are so much awesome tunes I want to learn from Andrew!
