Best way to learn is to never transpose. If it's in key of A or B or E (all of which are usually avoided on the uke) learn it play it, learn to love it.
Dat's what I'm talkin' 'bout!
C'mon, kids! It's four strings, four fingers. How zen is that?
Don't come back on me about how your hands are too big/small, you're too young/old, your legs don't reach from your ass to the ground or any of the other excuses I've heard for the last 7 or so years.
With the
possible exception of shredding like Jake, there's
nothing you can't learn on the uke.
You. Can. Do. It. Just practice.
Sure, Joe over there copped it faster than you.
So? This ain't a contest. This is a voyage of personal discovery.
So Joe got it in a week and you're not quite there after 3 months.
Again, so?
Is it such a hardship to play your uke a lot? Then take up tatting. Or underwater basket weaving or whatever.
Every time you reach a plateau you're on a higher level than before. If you stay on that plateau longer the ol' proverbial Joe (or his sister, Sue) ain't nobody going to come along and take away your birthday.
Keep plugging and you
will get it (whatever "it" might be).
And you'll have
such a feeling of accomplishment you'll think you've taken some awesome recreational pharmaceutical.
Go! Play your ukulele!
(No. Right now. I'm watching. Don't make me come over there!)
