I'm a few days into my second week with my new baritone ukulele.
My impressions so far:
I have improved a LITTLE in the last week. I don't have to look at the chord chart as much anymore. I've started to add 7 and minor chords to my practice.
My strumming is fair, but my fingerpicking is HOPELESS. I keep telling myself "It's better to slow down and do it RIGHT than to try to play quickly and repeat mistakes." So I play slowly and STILL make mistakes.
Sigh...
My impressions so far:
- OMG! My fingers have forgotten EVERYTHING from when I learned guitar as a kid.
- I don't remember my fingers hurting this much.
- Skill acquisition comes slowly. SOOO slowly.
- It doesn't sound like I'm playing. It sounds like I'm HURTING it.
