I just finished Hal Leonard's (Lil Rev's) Ukulele Method Book 1 tonight. I'm really surprised at how much it has taught me already. I am comfortable playing notes in C and G, and have learned a lot of chords.
I'm still having fits with b flat and e minor, but picked up some helpful tips on some of the other posts. Doing e minor as a barre chord is a lot easier for me.
We're heading home to Florida to visit family Wednesday, so I plan to play by ear and from simple songbooks while we're down there. When we get back, I'll start on the second Hal Leonard book.
I was afraid that it would be harder for me to learn since I'm in my 60's, but I'm thrilled that that doesn't seem to be the case.
And I'm more in love with my Mainland than when it first arrived!
