Chose a simpler song this month, but also had less time to practice. Flubbed a note near the end.
Had a lot of fun learning this song, though. More than I expected. It’s been a lot of fun learning with RockClass 101 the last few months, and I’m looking forward to the contests next year.
Happy holidays!

I think I bit off a bit more than I could chew with this one. It’s nowhere near where I was hoping it’d be, but oh well. It was a lot of fun to learn, with so many new elements I hadn’t really tried before (big stretches, barre chords, a lot of movement all over the neck, strumming only a subset of strings).
I think I’ve gotten better at holding the uke (thanks Andrew for the videos last time!), it didn’t feel like it was falling, even when I was standing, and even with all the left hand movement. Hope I can continue to get away with not having to use a strap. 😝

Didn’t have nearly as much time to practice as I would’ve liked, so the tempo is pretty slow. Even still, it’s rough, with a lot of stumbling on the rhythm, especially on the syncopated strums. Hopefully next month will be better!
A few months in at this point, and the hardest part for me with–not just this song, but playing in general–is just holding the uke and moving around the fretboard while standing. I recorded this while sitting down to get around that problem. 😝
