Left hand position
Posted: Wed Sep 22, 2010 3:54 am
Hello.
When I first picked the ukulele I even had problems holding it while playing. I then learned to hold the ukulele's neck deep in my palm and it was a very comfortable position for me to play open chords. However moving to barre chords from this position (or even E minor) is very difficult (involves throwing ukulele and catching it again ).
So what is the proper left hand position? Thumb always stays in the back of the neck? But how do I keep the ukulele in place when I'm playing?
