Honest, I NEVER, EVER exaggerate. But here is my blanket statement on when and where to focus your uke practice time.
The RIGHT way to improve on ukulele
I NEVER like to tell you something is ALWAYS right or ALWAYS wrong.
But I'm feeling a little feisty today, so I'll go out on a limb with these bold statements.
Vital Skills when you’re first getting started on ukulele:
- 3 Chords
- 3 Strums Patterns
- 3 Songs — memorized
The WRONG way to get better on ukulele:
- MORE chords
- MORE patterns
- MORE memorization
Danno’s Vital Skills to get better at ukulele
- movable chord shapes
- zero strum patterns (the universal pattern instead!)
- conceptualizing song structure so you can play by ear instead of memorization
Are you interested in any of these? Let me know and I'll elaborate.
Focused on the fun,
