Hi all,

Premium Member here.

Here is my try of Always With Me. I instantly needed to learn this song, when I saw it on Steven’s youtube channel 2 years ago. That performance blew my mind on how a Uke can sound (in capable hands) =).
Luckily he simplified it a bit and I was finally able to learn it.
The tip of my fingers hurt of al the attempts on getting an ok performance.

Super fun challenge, thanks!

Hi,

Here is my entry of Morning Dew

I really liked the tune and the focus on hammerons and pulloffs.
Also got the chance to play more on my Low-G 😀
Those distractions with all the nice Ghibli tunes were harsh, though 😀

Grtz,
Jay

Last Challenge of the year already! Great job All.
And Happy holidays!

I tried Chopsticks, but need some practice to get the speed and clarity.

Looking forward on improving in 2023.

Hi,

Loved the challenge, especially playing to a backingtrack and the editing =).
Even with an easier song it is really getting used to. I had a rushed start but think I settled a bit afterwards

Looking forward to December’s challenge!

Hi,
I practiced the Stranger Things theme, just love the show…. But so frustrating to record the theme… After dozens of takes my fingers got tangled up =)

Hi all,

Here is my attempt to Yellow Submarine, actually did not now the song that well (except for the iconic chorus). But had to give it a go as it is the only song, this month, that has a themed Lego set.
I messed up the ending, but the 20 takes after this were worse…

Looking forward to the June challenge!

Hi all,

Awesome stuff throughout the participant’s!
And a very nice price too, got me playing my uke again.
I did my best with Prelude in C, just a bit too difficult for me now.
My left hand got some beating with some of those grips. Awesome lesson from Steven!

Till next month!

Hi,

Another great challenge!
Really happy I was able to learn the piece by F. Tárrega. I am still practicing it to learn to be more subtle in interpretation.

@jbmills07,
Please take some time to go through the first post of this topic on page 1 and it will become clear😀

Hi,

Loved learning Moon River. I automatically start searching for background info when I learn a song and I enjoyed reading/listening more about this absolute classic.

Hi,

Really wanted to learn Beauty and the Beast, even if its way over my head =)
Got it in a somewhat recognizable state, atleast my daughter was able to guess the song, as it is her favorite (and I am her beast)

I will further practice this to get the hang of the different grip changes, what a challenge!

I loved the arrangement of Toss a coin to your witcher, ever since it came out!
Man, my skills got tested, especially with the pressure of recording, but these challenges make me study the Uke 😁
