This is my 3rd day with my very first ukulele. I have a few questions about the chords and strumming.
I'm using the book "treasury of ukulele chords" by roy sakuma, and on the 8th page titled MAJOR CHORDS, i see that the A chord is fret 2 on G, and fret 1 on C, and open for E and A. Under that picture, theres another picture thats barred on 4th fret, 6 fret on G, 5th fret on E. Is that another way to play the "A" chord? I hope I make sense.
My other question is about my strumming. I'm following what Aldrine said in his videos by extending ur hand, and point ur index finger towards yourself, using ur wrist to move up and down. When I do this, sometimes I feel as if i'm hitting the strings too hard and my index will get caught in between the strings, causing 1 to vibrate harder, while the others are barely brushed. It doesnt feel as if all the strings are being hit with equal force. Sometimes my index finger is so deep in, it makes the noise of scratching against the fret board as well, is this normal? Is the finger nail of the index finger suppose to be facing downward? or does it face outward towards the frets?
