Metronome and Form

  1. Keep working back through your pages from C and E review, making sure to always practice with the metronome. Also use one of the later exercises with chords to practice your chords. Practice using alternating strumming of eighth notes with your chord exercises as well.
  2. Make sure not to look at your right hand.
  3. Remember not to post any fingers on the Uke with your right picking hand, keep it floating, and to tuck the other fingers loosely into your palm.
  4. Your right hand strumming motion should be primarily a rotation or twist of your wrist, with a little forearm, thumb, and pointer movement only for support of that motion.
  5. Make sure to have the right amount of pick showing from out of your thumb and pointer, not too much, and not too little, so you have good control.
  6. Keep singing along with your practice of the single note exercises, making sure to match the notes correctly. Lock in with the first note before you start if necessary.
  7. Leave a comment at least one day after practice on this post about how your practice went.
