I've been playing the ukulele for around a year now, but I simply don't manage to play it while I'm standing. It always drops! Do you have any tips?
If I'm playing it sitting down, I have no problems, but if I play while I'm standing I encounter some difficulties, especially if I have to change from a non fretted chord to a fretted chord, or any chord to an Em, for example. I can play some easy songs standing, but very very few and if it has fretted chords I can't manage to play them right, or if I do they sound very messed up. I've tried lots of positions until I found one I'm comfortable with but it's been more than 6 months that I'm trying to play in this position and I didn't notice any big improve.
I don't think my boobs are the problem. Or maybe they are but I never noticed it, but I wouldn't say they are. They don't bother me, so I wouldn't say they're the main reason why I can't hold my ukulele.
I don't want to use straps to play, though, because I've seen lots of girls play without them, so I know it is possible, and also because I play the guitar and found them really uncomfortable. Maybe playing the ukulele without it is much difficult, but possible! So do you have any tips that don't concern straps?
