Hey guys, I am really enjoying the Uke, it seems so much more accessible then the violin or piano which I have dabbled with but never got past a few weeks in.
I like being able to play in my bed, or anyplace I like.
My 4yo has had two lessons so I've learned C and A, and I went online and found out about the strum pattern: Down, Down up, up down up.
I've also seen videos on all the different ways to strum with your fingers. So I've basically been alternating how I strum because it hurts my skin/side of the fingers in particular if I use my index finger. I could use a pic I know but I like the idea of NOT needing a pic because my kids will loose them.
How long would it take to toughen up the fingers, based on practicing 15 minutes a day-ish?
