Ever since I've started learning uke. I only do two kinds of practices/exercises: 1) finger dexterity exercises (like those to make left hand fingers more independent); 2) just pick one song that I like and play it over and over again. I thought every song would require some technique, by playing a song over and over again, l'd master that technique finally. And by learning more songs, I'll have more techniques.
But recently, I realize I might be wrong. Just like an athlete who wants to jump higher and higher, he/she cannot just do jumping all day long, he/she also needs to do other exercises to strengthen her/his muscles. Thus, I've almost stopped learning new songs.
So could anybody share your daily exercise if you have? Or actually for people who are experienced with uke, daily exercise is not necessary, just playing songs are enough?
If anybody can help recommend some resources on exercises, it'll be even better. I'll definitely purpose them.
What I'm looking for is for different techniques/skills, what are the best exercises? Some examples like: barre chord improvement exercises, high fret low fret changing exercises, pinky exercises, right hand exercises etc.
Thank you very much in advance!
