All we remember the enthusiasm that we felt for the first time having taken the ukulele. All was new and the thought 'I play music' shrilled our whole being. Progress was really fast those days. Every day we learned something new. But gradually things were slowing down. Sometimes we even thought there's no way we could master this instrument. As if a high and inpenetrable wall rised before us. In those moments we were even pondering on giving up playing. Sounds familiar?
Let me quote a little passage from Uncle Rod' Self-Eximination Tool. I'm sure it'll cheer you up:
'Remember the FIRST 'rule' of playing the ukulele - "It must be fun!" or something like that.
If you are having difficulty, don't be too hard on yourself. Please be assured that eventually you'll experience that 'Ah-Ha' moment when it all comes together. and that momentis right around the corner, esp if you're practicing regulary if not daily.
Think about this, if we had handed you a uke a few months ago - What would you have done with it? But NOW, hey, you can actually PLAY it. That's real progress!'
