Also, I was trying to see the length of your left hand fingernails. Looks shorter than mine. Does a cut close nail allow you to more easily fret in more finger-vertical position? Like what you saw with my middle finger not coming down vertically thus brushing the other string.
Andrew, Lisa, et al I’ve just started in earnest with the first 3 bars of Chorus 1. I am still practicing all the different forms that you mentioned. Would it be true that if you don’t fret the 4th string, it wouldn’t matter that much because of the staccato technique for the B chord?
Andrew, my first instinct was to index finger the fret parallel to the fret bar. I think that made it more difficult to keep the middle finger from touching the E string. I’ve produced a clean strum much more often once I moves my left hand to fret at an angle with my index.
Also Robin offered advice to fret the entire 2nd fret with the index. That seems to work some extent also. Of course I have to practice more on this chord to find that sweet left fingering placement.
Lisa, I try setting all three fingers, release and repeat. but I haven’t tried playing one finger at a time, then 2, then 3. I’ll give it a try. Only fretting the 3 strings as Andrew said, produces the same sound and is much easier to repeat successfully but then I have a problem with scraping the G string for the up strum…….such a dilemma on the first day of learning. ha.
Welcome Bailey, We are alike in that I never played an instrument. It will be 3 years of learning at RockClass next month. Still sticking with it!
Good work, Master of the Ukulele. How did you manager to keep your right arm from resting on the arm rest?
nice job Katarin. Love, too, the birds accompaniment.
