Since my last post regarding my ukulele engagement, I have proceeded to work on my strumming pattern and integrating chord transitions at the same time. It has been a challenge, I don’t remember anyone telling me how numb my fingers would get after practicing so often, but I really have been enjoying playing the ukulele. I find it extremely calming and a good short brain break from the other projects and activities that I am working on. I have found myself forgetting to post my blogs regarding my progress, but I have been tracking and staying aware of the work I have put in and completed.
It is super fun to be feeling successful in learning a new hobby, and I am super excited to take this new skill into the new year. My ukulele will definitely be coming with me on small adventures
My biggest takeaway from learning this song, is that practice, practice, practice is necessary in order to be comfortable with chord transitions. I have found it very challenging to switch specifically into Em, I have practiced it constantly and have seen little progression in comparison to the work I have put in. I will still try to keep my head up and continue to practice even though I am becoming frustrated!
My final post regarding the ukulele will be my final video showcasing my playing of Somewhere Over The Rainbow by Israel Kamakawiwoʻole
