I’m like ukulele999 in that I start one I really like usually up the point my brain won’t work or my fingers do what they want and make no sense. Then I look for another song that I like and start the process over. Then come back to the original song and it seems the break does the world of good.

So in a sense once I get the hang of one I change to another without finishing the first..then end up practicing 2 for a while.. I just watched johnny b goode again and realised I hadn’t learnt the last bit at all.

my advice is don’t forget other songs you have learnt, while learning a new song.. go back and play old songs or you will forget them or parts of them .. or that might be just my old age kickin in. most important take a rest if your not enjoying it or change up to something and come back.. but don’t give up if it seems to hard..eventually you will get it.. well so far so good for a slow learner like me. the lessons really are well explained iv’e found, I havnt yet used all the technical stuff here which I probably should.. I just pause and go back ..

G’day from Australia here, My name is Shane and I’ve been a member of Andrews Rockclass101 for over a year now and loved it from the get go. It’s a fantastic way for all uke lovers to learn a heap of varied style songs imo.

I watch Andrew play the song at the start and think fair dinkum i’m never going to learn this, but give it a go anyway and in the end I usually get something that vaguely resembles the tune even though I cheat here and there and find an easier way to play something that sounds similar.. that’s ok I’m having fun and anyone listening hopefully won’t hear him play to know my version is watered down a bit 😉

I have 2 ukes, well one is my 12yo daughters that I play for a change when I get sick of playing mine..Hers is a cheap soprano ibanez and mine is one I bought from the USA, another Ibanez concert electric-acoustic… They are ok. nothing like those Hawaiian style ukes that sound so good, but lots of fun to play regardless

Anyway its great to see a forum started and look forward to reading and learning here as well as in the great lessons we get monthly

Keep up the great work
Cheers
