Ukulele Practice Tip #2: Chord transitions

One of the best things you can do to take your playing to the next level when you're starting out on ukulele, or even if you have some decent chops under your belt, is to practice chord transitions.  I like to emphasize economy of movement (minimizing the amount of finger and hand movement you do to get from one chord to the other) and repetition to get that muscle memory burned in so that you can go from one chord to the next on auto-pilot.

So take your favorite song and practice in two ways:

See how smoothly you can play the song so there are no breaks or pauses
See how quickly you can play the song without missing a chord transition

When it comes to chord transitions, it's all about practice, practice, practice.  So keep on playin' that ukulele!
