This topic is for everyone, hopefully I got a very varied response as I really wanan know what helped people improve the most.. This is to the newest members all the way to Seeso and Aldrine and the likes of the most skilled here at UU.
What made you better at playing the ukulele? Was it tutorials, lessons, other members? What made you the player you are today?
I consider myself a very average player. I've been playing for about a year in a half now, and I can say that I have improved dramatically, but still not where I want to be. Not that I want to be a professional ukulele player or something, but I do want to become very good some day.
I'm starting to get bored of finding songs, finding chords, and just strumming chords all day. I want to start learning songs from tabs, because that seems like the way the best players use to play their songs.
As someone who has no musical background, I can see this being a very long journey for me. I want to be able to play Gently Weeps and Let's Dance and other very complicated, skillful songs. I want to be able to hear a song and figure it out, I want to be able to come up with my own picking pattern's and improvise a solo whenever my heart desires. I want to be able to do the funky strums Aldrine bangs away and have quick and accurate coordination of Jake S.
I want to be a great ukulele player.
I'm hoping by reading some of your stories and experiences that you put in this thread will help me figure out how to better myself at the Ukulele.
Hopefully some people add their comments to this and help me out. Just tell me what worked for you!
