Hello everybody! My name is Loredana, I'm 21 years old and I live in Chile and I'm new to the forum and the uke.
I really enjoy singing and I decided I wanted to finally learn how to play an instrument and for several reasons, I chose the ukulele so I got it last week and since for some time I won't be able to afford lessons, I started learning through YouTube.
Right now the hardest thing for me is transitioning between chords and strumming, but I'm trying not to get frustrated and I'm really enjoying the ride I've learned three songs so far with the same four chords (C - G - Am - F) and for now the hardest thing is to transition between any chord to G so I'm trying to master that so I can move to new chords. Since I have no one to guide me, I'm trying to figure out what I have to learn next, haha.
One thing that really frustrates me but that I know that it's normal, is not being able to sing without my strumming hand starting to do something weird.
And this is why I'm opening this thread. I want to know all of your beginner experiences. I know it depends on each person but I still am interested in knowing. How long did it take for you to get decent/good? Did you learn by yourself or did someone teach you? How long did it take for you to start singing and strumming at the same time?
These stories motivate me so I'll be thankful if you share them with me and everybody else who is interested
Thank you so much for taking the time to read and I'm looking forward to read from you soon.
Greetings from this side of the world!
