In regards to holding the ukulele, should i be able to hold it with my right arm, and strum without having any support from my left hand?
when playing chords close to the nut (F,C,G7,E7, etc.) i am using my index finger knuckle closest to my wrist to support the ukulele. This has worked just fine so far. The problem though is that i am now learning the Em chord and am having to stop strumming with my right, hold the uke at the bottom w/the right, get comfy with the Em, then continue strumming. This obviously is making it difficult
Everywhere i have read so far has said that i will get used to it and adopt my own way of holding it, but the last 2 hours i have tried many many ways and just cant seem to do it without stopping my strumming...
Sincerely
A very frustrated newb...
