How To Play The Ukulele Better: 5 Tips For Improvement

Looking for some help to improve your ukulele skills? Stuck in a rut?

Don’t fret. You’re not alone. Everyone sometimes gets lost along the way, and it feels like you’re not improving. If you want to increase your chances of moving on to the next level, there are certain tricks you should take.

Get back on track and become a master of this instrument. Here are 5 ways to become a better ukulele player…

Play with the metronome on
Beginners and even experienced players often have difficulty timing the beat of the songs as they play. Playing with a metronome will fix this problem. You will see your timing improve if you practise with a metronome. In addition, you'll notice that you'll get faster at playing the ukulele as your timing improves.

Start playing further up the neck
Try playing further up the neck, away from the first 3 positions. As you become more serious about playing the instrument, you will be able to improve your skills by becoming familiar with the different chords up the neck.

Become familiar with the chords in different positions
One of the basic skills that you need to master as you become more proficient with ukulele playing is knowing how to play the chords in various patterns or positions. As a result, you will develop into a more versatile musician, and your music will also sound more interesting.

Play without looking at the tab
Whilst playing with a ukulele tab would be more convenient, getting familiar with the sound by ear is a great way to further improve your skills. You should learn songs with your ears rather than your eyes. You will sharpen your instincts as a musician if you do this.

Get someone else to play with you
Have fun and enjoy the company of your ukulele group. Ultimately, playing music gives you the opportunity to share your talent and spend quality time with your family and friends. It's not just going to teach you a few new tricks, but it'll also improve your musical arrangements. If you still don’t have a ukulele group, you can find it here.
