Hi All,
I've been perusing here for a couple days and coming out of the lurky shadows hoping to get some assistance. I picked up my first uke a week ago (a Mitchel concert uke), I'm absolutely loving it. I've never been able to really get anywhere with a fretted instrument before, but am having luck with the uke.
Anyways, where I'm having the most trouble right now is holding the uke. I can't seem to keep the neck and head from slipping down. Basically, after 30 seconds of playing my left thumb gets a little sweaty and I as I release my chord grip to change chords, I have to grab the uke with one hand or the other to tip it back up. This of course breaks my pattern and I'm not able to work on chord transitions too much.
Any ideas on what I can change? is there a grip pad I could attach somewhere to take care of this?
Thanks!
