I haven’t learnt the entire arrangement yet but I chose Billie Jean this month. Love the beat and the feel of this song!

Appreciate any feedback.
Happy learning everyone!

Thanks @rebeca. I’d say your rendition was more relaxing though. Yours sounds like you’re lying in a hammock in a tranquil forest whereas mine sounds like there are kids running through the forest playing tag hahhahaha. Thanks for listening and for the feedback!

@Andrew, thanks for that! yehp I definitely need to practice more to get everything more smooth and also to bring out the melody better. I’m finding it tricky to get the accuracy with the two finger style at speed so need to focus on it; particularly bar 9 (second-time bar).

My entry into the Rock Class 101 April Monthly Challenge.
I played Hone A Ka Wai. I would’ve loved to have got Bodysurfing out but the solo has stumped me and at higher speeds needs polishing. Will definitely finish it!

I changed the fingering of the harmonic to play it with just the right instead because my left hand was jumping around so much! I couldn’t really hit it clean though but hope that was okay..

Appreciate any feedback on any of my attempts!
Good luck to everyone!

@kanae926 Nice one! So awesome to see you play~ It was a very relaxed and easy going rendition of the song. I liked it : ) I’ve been getting into the learning paths and went back to basics hahahaha.

This is great! I’m looking forward to seeing everyone’s entries!
Thanks for all the advice and encouragement. Let’s keep in touch. I’ll look out for your Hone A Ka Wai : D

Awesome! I’ll definitely be looking out for yours! I’ve also tried Hone A Ka Wai. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsZ0PcMz224
The tempo is a bit slow but wouldn’t mind hearing what you think! bar 9 and the jump back and forth with the harmonic are so hard… will probably give it another crack for the challenge. or are we only allowed one entry ? : S

And waoh! you’re a veteran! congratulations on almost 2 years!

@sgwarren @kanae926 thanks very much both for your suggestions!

There is so much content on here so I’ll definitely start on the learning paths. I’m very much a beginner in the sense that I haven’t got all the fundamentals but I just can’t go past playing great songs! I’m trying bodysurfing for the April challenge and it’s waaaay above my pay grade but just so fun to even try and play it. Really should build my foundation though…

Thanks again!

@sgwarren thanks so much for the feedback! this was great. I didn’t really think about the emptiness in that bit but now that you mention it I can hear (or not hear?) it. I’m not very experienced with where all the notes are but I’ll play around with it. I’m glad you liked the expression and tempo. I think it also sounds good slightly faster and feels like it has more movement. I’m keen on seeing some of your stuff too! Have you played this one?
