Comments on: ‘Ukulele for Beginners http://liveukulele.com Tabs, lessons, and info for 'ukulele enthusiasts Sat, 31 Jul 2010 18:01:25 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Brad Bordessa http://liveukulele.com/lessons/for-beginners/comment-page-1/#comment-6797 Brad Bordessa Sun, 11 Jul 2010 18:45:09 +0000 http://liveukulele.com/lessons/for-beginners/#comment-6797 Hi, I do this all in my spare time - it's just a hobby - not a job. I probably could take more time to focus on beginner things, but that's not what I want to pursue as much. There are many places around the web that can tell you step by step how to play a C chord. There is far less info for people in the intermediate and advanced range. I don't claim to be a pro, but I try my best to teach about things I would be interested in learning about. That's how I keep it fun for myself. If this wasn't fun, the site wouldn't be here at all (or it would be full of half-way info like a lot of other sites). I appreciate your honesty and I'm sure it could be improved, but I provide all of the info for free. If you have any specific ideas for how to make the site better, I would love to hear them.

At least most that I've taught. In the long run - while it's not wrong - it will probably easier to take the time now to learn to play with your index finger. That way once you hit stuff like the "chop" strum you will just have to work on one thing. So, it's not heresy, but if you plan on going beyond a down/up strum I would highly recommend learning to use your index finger.

I just got an 'ukulele and your site has been fantastic in helping me get started. One question (today, anyway): Coming from the guitar, it's natural for me to want to strum with my thumb. Would it be heresy for me to do that with the 'ukulele or make other things harder for me down the line? Thanks. Hi.

Thanks for the heads up. It is considered an 'ukulele. I just forgot to add a paragraph about it. I don't think I've covered the baritone on any of my pages, I'll have to fix that. Most everything that applies to all the other sizes works for the baritone. That is why I tend to shy away from baritone specific articles. But I will see if I can add some baritone content to the site. Aloha, Hippie Guy Very good point. Thanks for the heads up.
