    After watching your feedback, This is what I thought:

    I feel ashamed because I listened to the song two times, but now I know what I have to do. I’m going to look at the new course of rhythmic notation, the free lessons (Rhythm and Notation lessons, Swung vs straight), and whatever song I’m learning, especially for the challenges to add it to my playlist for Homework, other activities, etc. I should have done this sooner, now I feel bad, but I’m willing to move forward and to try harder. Thank you, Andrew, and I hope that I will improve (Most likely will, because of an excellent teacher you are.), by using these techniques, and lessons for the next month challenge.
    Other than that, Happy Halloween People. πŸ˜€

    AM I A PREMIUM MEMBER OF THIS AWESOME WEBSITE? OF COURSE I AM!

    Sorry about my performance, I have had a lot of trouble in school, and let’s just say it’s tough.
    I love all your performances guys and flicking through all pages, made me see the awesome community that this website has brought. However, one thing came to mind. What if I ruin the mood, and play something happy! πŸ™‚ Hope you guys won’t be mad at me changing the theme a bit πŸ™‚ It’s legal, so why not? πŸ˜€ I might retry if I have time, but man what they say about nylon and wood breaks your bones.

    P.S How can you say this was an easy song, Andrew! My left-hand hurts from baring chords, and from typing this. πŸ™‚ Prize is only a bonus (Though like other poeple, I do want it), it’s skill and improvement I’m looking for, and thanks to this song, baring chords, and rhythm have been a bit easier for me (A bit). Thank you all, and see you guys again in the next challenge. πŸ˜€

    P.S.S What’s with telling age these days? Adults don’t do it, but kids do… Why? Of course I did it a long time ago, but my reason was to see if I still had a chance in this world. What’s your reason for telling your age kids?

    Hi guys. Heres the participation.
    Also a typo in the ground participation:
    of you playing 1 of the 3 American Patriotic pieces. Just to point that out πŸ˜€


    Have a nice day

    Everytime that I don’t win the prize it makes me work harder for the next one. Thanks for this challenge, and excellent work people! πŸ˜€

    Same thing as you Kanae926. It looks like Andrew hit all strings, (Probably tap it) and I can’t seem to get the same sound. I just strum, or pluck. Probably because of the sound equipment that Andrew has.

    Oh my goodness, this is the most entries I’ve ever seen, rip my luck. πŸ™‚ Nice job everyone, Love all efforts in this challenge. XD

    String slipping problem:
    To be honest, I just finish that song, and for me, it took around 5 days to make my index finer strong enough to hold all three strings during the pull off. You shouldn’t focus too much on that part, but go ahead and learn the other piece in that song. Increase strength in your index day by day, so once you mastered that, you have finished the whole song.

    Here’s a guide to hammer-ons and pull-offs, if you haven’t seen it.

    Pinky Problem:

    With the pinky, I too had the same problem, and since my uke doesn’t have a pickup you can barely hear it when the room is quiet. All I kept on doing, was practice basically and teaching my pinky finger to work like my other fingers as well. Keep Trying! πŸ™‚

    Hammer on’s and Pull off’s from this site: Trying doing it with all your fingers if you want.

    This might not be the help you wanted, so I apologize and I hope Andrew respond to your question.

    The Dog is like me, Speechless, Great Job it must be hard for two fingers while I am stuck with the four finger approach. Your Awesome Believe That! πŸ˜€

    Here is my monthly participation towards this challenge. I know tempo is one of my mistakes in songs, and the mic didn’t really capture the harmonic clearly (more of a blunt sound) and probably muting is another mistake. I hope to improved this month with advice and with determination, I hope all of us strive in our challenges. Thanks, and I hope to see your performances guys in the future. πŸ˜€

    Hello musicians, I’m doing good Lisadmh and I think the biggest problem with Waltz in C for me is the palm mute just like you! πŸ™‚ I remember playing songs with the harmonic in it, and I was so hype when I was in the middle of recoding, I was pressured even more I messed up. Don’t worry and don’t be scared to try your best at every shot you take, I believe in you and every future performance there is. Keep trying guys, and I hope to see your splendid performances. Have at thee challenge, and sail forth within the wind! πŸ˜€

    Thanks for the compliment Lisa, and I’m doing good. I hope to see all your future performances guys because I know it will be amazing! I believe in you and so should you! πŸ˜€

    Here is my May participation challenge. I think it’s too early for me to do the songs, but I rather do one at the start and end of the month to see improvement. I know the tempo is one of my mistakes and I appreciate any advice you give me guys. It’s so weird using a pick compared to fingerpicking as you can sorta feel the strings and have more control but hey, that’s just me.

    Finally, no need for chairs anymore, but I think I might need a bed for the lullaby song, Awesome Challenge and Excited to do! Thanks Andrew for your awesome work and you deserve sponsors as well. πŸ˜€

    I see it, and to give you proof you have a red uke with the name Makala. Plus you have a nice Tshirt good job on the song as well!
