Humble Beginnings

I had little idea on the best method to approaching the ukulele, so I decided my best course of action was to just begin playing. I decided the first song I was going to learn was the song that instilled in me an inspiration to learn the ukulele. House of gold by 21 pilots probably was not the best first song choice I could have chosen, but it was a song I wanted to learn. It turns out people are not kidding when they say the Ukulele is an easy instrument. The most difficult part about the song was a simple chord change I hadn't yet developed the muscle memory for, yet it wasn't a difficult chord. The other challenging aspect of the song was its fast paced strumming. I don't really have the endurance in my wrist as of now to comfortably play my way through the entire song. I could if I felt the need, however I can feel the exhaustion in my wrist slowly start to build. For at least a couple of months I will build my repertoire of simple ukulele songs. After awhile, I will seek to learning more intensive finger-style type songs
