So I started playing Ukulele only about a month ago but I have been practicing every day. I have been learning a few songs. I have been doing the Improvement systems training. I also just kind of noodle around when I'm bored. I probably play around a hour a day.
Last week my index finger on my strumming hand started hurting. I felt like I had smashed it with a hammer. I didn't touch my Uke for about 4 days. I picked it back up a couple days ago and my index finger is hurting again.
I am assuming that it's because of the way I strum.
Have you had this problem? Do I just need time for my finger to toughen up like the callouses on my fretting hand? Or do you think that I could be strumming wrong? Will it go away in time. In my It appears to me that I am strumming correctly but as I don't have a teacher I'm not 100% sure.
Thank you for any help that you might offer.
