I've been playing around for about six months on my ukes. Practicing with my neighbor, who has a lot of music for guitar and we've been playing a couple of times a week.
One of my/our problems is speed. When I first learn a chord sequence it is slow and sloppy but as I learn to play it, I find myself playing it faster and faster until it's not even the same song I started out to play!
I got a metronome but it only helps when I use it. (funny how that works out) I have also noticed that I strum to the lyric rather than a 1-2-3-4 regular strum. I stay in time with the beat but not slavishly following the 1-2-3-4 or what ever.
Is that abnormal or is it a normal thing to have to master?
