One of the biggest things that took my ukulele playing to the next level is buying a chord chart.
I procrastinated on this mainly because I am a cheapo and felt like I shouldn't pay for one when I can look them up online for free. After getting one I realized a few things. First of all I am a visual learner, so I feel like looking at the chords on the wall enabled me to learn them twice as fast as I would have if I had been staring at a computer screen. Secondly, it really helped with my understanding of music theory. The Ukulele is my first instrument, so as I was first learning to play, I was learning music theory as well. Looking at a chord chart helped me to connect the dots because the visual layout of the chord families helps you understand how the individual chords are related to each other. Last but not least hanging the chord poster on my wall got me really stoked on playing the uke! I know it sounds weird but something as simple as hanging the chord chart on your wall and walking by it everyday will remind you to practice more often! Bottom line: If you want your skills to skyrocket, a uke chord chart is your will be your jet engine.
