I recently received my copy of the Ukulele Fretboard Roadmap. I have a Concert size Uke, and I love it. My issue is, as I move through the unit about Moveable Chords, I realize that I am unable to fret the strings properly from the 13th fret onward towards the top of the fretboard. As my Uke is a Concert, and has 18 frets, this means that the top 5 or 6 frets are virtually useless to me. I am not positive if this is because my Uke is not a cutaway, or if it is because my fingers are too large for Concert scale Ukes. As I do not have the opportunity to play either a cutaway or a tenor sized uke on a regular basis, I am not able to work out what the issue is. I can play very comfortably up to the 12th fret. That is plenty of room to play more than I am capable of playing at this point, but I am making a real effort to learn the instrument, as opposed to only learning how to play a few songs. Ultimately, I would like to be able to pick up the instrument and play by ear. I understand this takes years, but for me, this is a lifetime commitment. Any advice is appreciated.
BTW- Has anyone else had this issue? If so, how can anyone older than 5 play a Soprano or a Sopranino? Let alone a guy the size of Bruddah Iz!?!?!?!?
