Having been inspired by the "20 Hour" TED that was posted in another thread (http://forum.ukuleleunderground.com/showthread.php?92384-Learning-anything-in-20-hours) I'm going to attempt to become competent on my ukulele.
I will use Uncle Rod's Boot Camp materials. I will attempt to do 20 minute segments, 3 times a day. That's one hour a day, but I figure it will take me about 25ish days to actually get the 20 hours in, just because my schedule can keep me away from my uke some days. I've made a little spread sheet to keep track of my time and I'll be reporting on here from time to time to report my progress, and also to comment on Rod's system. I'm making this public in order to put pressure on myself. (Feel free to write encouraging/kick-in-the-butt/"you lazy bum" comments to inspire me.) The 20-minute segments are manageable times I can fit in throughout the day.
"Competency" will be achieved when I feel that I can play in front of people without embarrassment. Let's see if 20 hours does the trick.
First update: I did my first 20 minutes this morning. And I'm already frustrated. (The Cdim, Dm7, and Fm6--really, Rod? On the first day? )
