I AM A PREMIUM MEMBER

Hi everyone,

this is my submission for the June 2026 member challenge.

I hope it still counts.

First things first: I’m playing a baritone ukulele, not a low-G.

I’m also far from an intermediate player. I have some basic bass guitar experience, but I only bought this ukulele two months ago and only discovered this challenge about two weeks ago.

I chose “Sakura, Sakura” because it was already on my bucket list to learn someday on a string instrument. When I read the challenge description, it felt like the right moment to try it, so I went for it.

This is the first song I’ve ever learned in fingerstyle, so it’s definitely not perfect yet, but I really enjoyed the learning process. I also saw there will be a short summer break in the challenges, so I’ll use that time to go through the courses on the site.

Cheers,
David
