Matt's Mega Ukulele Challenges!
Next challenge: Rhythm Mastery
Closing date Monday 4th August 2025
My students will know I'm passionate about adding some dynamics into ukulele playing, rather than using the same strum pattern through a whole song. So I'd like you to challenge yourself to perform any song or piece of music with more than one strum pattern, or fingerpicking. Think about varying between verses and chorus or swapping between rhythms. See if you can add some spice to your favourite songs!
For this challenge I’m going to send the winners a copy of my Pop CD and a coveted 'Matt says I’m amazing’ button badge!
Don’t forget to mention Matt’s Mega Challenge in the title and if you can use the hashtag #mattsmegachallenge15 that would really help!
Matt’s Mega Ukulele Challenge is a fun way to get you playing regularly and having heaps of fun. Recording yourself playing is one of the very best ways to track your progress and challenge yourself to improve. Think of it almost like an online open mic, but with our wonderful supportive community cheering you on. Each few weeks I’ll set a challenge such as playing a particular themed song or showcasing a particular technique.
All levels of playing are welcome. It’s not about showing off. It’s about supporting each other to be creative, have fun and progress. Each time I’ll pick two winners. Winners won’t just be picked on ability but creativity, progress in your playing, originality and just whatever makes me smile. So even if you’re an absolute beginner who knows 3 chords you have as much chance as someone who has been playing years. All winners get a set of my button badges including a special ‘Matt Thinks I’m Ace!’ badge.
