On motivation and feeling that your efforts are lacking

Anthony Whiteoak - I read your message via an email notification, but I can't see your post here. A website glitch, perhaps. I just want you to know that I have been in that same headspace you are in - feeling like I'm stuck, not making progress, self doubt in my abilities. First and foremost, I wouldn't call it a "barren patch" but a "temporary plateau". So how to get past it? I'd say give yourself a few days off. Don't play. Maybe watch some uke videos (Matt's or anyone else's) or listen to uke music. Give your brain and your hands a rest, then get back to it. Pick something to play that you find easiest or are comfortable with. You mentioned lack of tone. That might not be you; it could be the uke. Check the action and get it fixed if it's too high.

I posted this on the FB page as well... but for people who aren't FB users... I'm a beginner and am just exploring interest at this point. Are there any ukulele groups in the Baltimore or Westminster, Maryland general area ? I know of the Maryland Ukulele Jam in Silver Spring but that's a bit of a hike from where I live. Anybody in Westminster, Eldersburg, Hampstead, or vicinity looking for a Uke Buddy ? Particularly interested in folks who are familiar with Matt and his curriculum.

pick-ups

How many people actually play amplified rather than having bought a uke with a pick -up just in case.

You can get the next step up uke for the same budget if your unlikely to play amplified .

Considering an Uma spruce tenor or a mango SUS Flight Carabou special.

Is this more often than not just another UAS rabbit hole to disappear down.

Never say never but I don't see myself as playing solo live or a lead player in a club

I enjoy playing amplified uke but not in public !! Mistakes are immediately traceable !!

App error

Just a quick update. I’m aware of an issue with the App on Apple at present (it comes up with an error saying content not available). Apologies. It is being investigated and hopefully normal service will resume shortly. In the meantime please use the mobile version of my website on your device. You can access all your courses and videos there.
