I bought a Dolphin a couple of months ago, and am loving my first steps on uke-territory. Actually, my first steps on music-territory, as I have no musical background/training whatsoever.
One of the things giving me troubles is strumming. d-u-d-ud-u is all I could do. I have a busy job and family-life (and other activities), which keeps me from practising for more than 15 minutes daily.
The last two weeks I find myself air-strumming all day long. Walking to the supermarket, showering, walking from a to b (even when it's just a few meters): I air-strum. Must be the first symptoms of UAS.
My question is: is this off-uke-practising any good? Will it help me master strums better? Is anyone else doing the same thing?
