Hello!
I've been playing ukulele for about two years, mainly chord melody. And after all this time I feel frustrated because I can barely play songs from end to end fluently, without making mistakes or losing tempo. I'm talking about songs like the ones in the first two books of the 'Ukelele Way', some of the easier ones by Myke Lynch, for those of you who know this resources, or this one from Ukulele Time which I'm practicing now:
Maybe I play well 80% of the song, but there's always some part that I cannot stand, like a slightly more difficult chord change or a faster passage, etc. And after a few months, I get fed up, look for another song and start again, leaving a trail of half-learned songs.
I don't know what to do to advance in my learning, whether to slow down the tempo, start with even easier songs (which ones?) or what. It's also true that during these two years I haven't been very consistent, due to lack of time, and there have been weeks when I've only practised one or two days. But I usually play 4-5 times a week.
Any suggestions? Thank you!
