I'd say try out using your fingers for a while and see if you get used to it. Bea: It’s possible but not advisable. I’d say try out using your fingers for a while and see if you get used to it.

I'm trying to strum AND sing the songs at the same time to keep the tune in time with the strums (or maybe it's the other way around. Anyway, I'm thinking I should just be concentrating on the strumming and changing chords rather than bothering with words/singing. Is that what you'd recommend? BTW, I'vw bought your book and think it's great! And the website's packed chock with useful info. I’ve had a ukulele for 3 weeks and am loving it.
