Like the additions to simple worms that I do. And I can feel the pain of rock on/inner peace. It must be doing me good!

Great idea, this. Kudos to the UU guys.

Good job Harry! (I’ll copy your presentation if you don’t mind)

At day 28 will we be able to stretch as much as Aldrine? 🙂

… Lots of room for progress huh?

Worms x 2.5

Picking 28 sets of 4
C scale x10
C – G alternation x 21 sets; I did it twice because I lost count, and could feel my fingers were tired already by the end. Good stuff to practice. 🙂

This is such an awesome way to practice!
Worm x4
Strums 24
Picking 56 (i found it easier to move the finger up 1 fret each time you picked 4 times and go back to one once you’ve done 12. That way you only have to count how many times you’ve reached 12 and not how many times you picked the same note 4 times)

I have a hard time not jumping to next video. But I’m gonna try to limit myself to one video a day! 😀

The hardest part for me was counting. Also, I need to make sure not to sacrifice accuracy for speed.

This sure is a good way to test one’s dexterity, discipline and ability to concentrate on several things at once. I see that Aldrine has great built-in picks – long fingernails – mine keep breaking off and/or splitting, so I have trouble picking up, so tend to just do down picks. Also had a tendency to alternate between thumb and forefinger when doing the picking exercise. Here are my results:
Worm: 2
Strumming: 18
Picking: 30
C Scale: 14
Chord Switching: 19.

I’ve been starting uke classes I teach with simple drills of worms stepping up and down the strings for 1 minute. It’s good to have the rock on and inner peace and shakes to add to my warm up routine. Bit more fun for folk and effective too.
Like Temple, I was started to fumble toward the end of my strum set. Really made me concentrate. It’s great to do something that demands your attention.

It’s fun to read everyone’s results! It’s also really interesting to see how each of us has different relative strengths & work-on areas. I am excited to give this a go and I am willing to do the work! (or, at least I say so now…)

We should all comment here every day and keep each other honest and accountable! (in a friendly way of course!)

Worm: 2
Strumming: 23
Picking: 40
C Scale: 5 (i fumbled and got totally lost!)
Chord Switching: 45 (i may not be good, but I am fast!)

Keep strummin’!

Wow, I can definitely tell/feel where I need to practice after that test: Chord switching and finger placement! That was fun 🙂

Strums – 19

Good way to check progress by day 28. Thanks for all of this!

Oops, previous post Worm 14 should have said something like 1.1
