Below is the lesson for “Winter Glass” by Rock Class 101

Helpful Tips

Learn a hauntingly beautiful fingerpicking song. This composition uses only strings 1 through 3, making it compatible with both high and low G ukulele.

This piece is an excellent study for applying sustain and rubato. Sustain refers to how long a note rings after it’s played, and in this song, the goal is for each note to flow beautifully into the next. While you can keep a steady tempo, try experimenting with rubato to bring out more emotion in your performance.
