Hi Andrew,
I forgot to donate! So I’ve corrected that and sent $50 via the non-us charity, ref RC101.
Have a great holiday season.

To all my friends and coleagues at Rock Class, I wish you a very happy festive season and especially to the super talented team that makes this site so great.

No time this month so I picked the shortest one… which did not turn out to be the easiest!I AM A PREMIUM MEMBER
When I saw La Gitanita I had to do it because I first learnt this in July 2020 and I wanted to see how I had improved since then. The answer is a fair bit – so thank you Andrew!!
Apologies for the missing fingers, but I had to use my phone to do the recording and forgot how narrow the screen is…
@andrew Thank you for your feedback and encouragement. As always you get me to focus on some key points for me to try and improve!
Such a good site, thank you!

Another great set of challlenges and performances by you all (so far).
I chose In the Summertime this month. Really great varrangement and demonstration by Steven.

Here’s my attempt at Duality.
I liked the story behind this composition and of course Evan makes it sound beautiful. I spent most of the month trying to master the accompaniment, but I couldnt get the Cmaj bar code shape at any speed (the minor was easier, but also slow), so I switched to the lead at the last minute – hence a bit unrehearsed.
Thanks for yet another great monthly challenge!
Thanks Andrew, I really appreciated your comment. It’s been such fun getting this far with Ukuleke under the guidance of RC101!

You asked for tabs to Blackbird. I never expected that request and I’m honoured!I haven’t a clue how to do this other than pen and paper, but I’ll have a go. If I manage, on which forum should I post it?
Here is my own arrangemernt of Blackbird.
I have worked on the arrangement and made it cleaner – not my playing mind you!
In May 23 I played Andrew’s proper version of Blackbird and found it difficult in places.
Over Christmas and January this year I worked on trying to adapt the version I used to play on guitar back in the, er, past…
The guitar seems like a monster now I play Uke and my hand seems tiny!
Anyway, here are my two versions.

Hi @Kanique, that was really nice, thank you.
I’m contemplating a second go at this, along with 20 others!, for the March 25 challenge.
Now I’m musical score dyslectic so rely on the tabs, but I do try to look at the score and I am getting better…
However, I’m confused by the score on Soundslice for St Jame’s Infirmary. The notes seem to be an octave too high?
Am I missing something or just being stupid?
Hi everyone,
This month I chose Magic Waltz. Clearly this is too difficult for me, but I just fell in love with the tune – particularly after looking at several versions on YouTube, and here.
The first problem is that I just can’t remember it well enough to play the whole way through – so I’ve cheated and stitched together separate attempts at each melody to make one video. The joins are fairly obvious! (If that disqualifies me from the competition, that’s OK too.)
Second problem – it’s just too darn fast! OK, so I’ll try at 75% speed, but even then some of the changes defeated me.
Oh well, you gotta try these things…
Justin, my heart goes out to you in your sorrow. This community is with you to help you share your pain. Thank you for posting your beautiful song.
