      Don't give up- when I started playing I played for like 30 minutes everyday and repetition really helps. You can do it!

      @@izzfrizz185 the skills themselves, being able to hammer on and pulloff at that speed, is hard but the b minor chord and notes themselves are simple and intuitive to play.

    Note to those having trouble playing it quickly: the ukulele is a very free instrument. Timing is, luckily, not as important. It's fine to play things slower than in the actual song.

    Dear Ukelele Teacher,
    Now that your making tutorials for Latin rhythms would you consider doing some Bossa Nova ukelele tutorials like Girl from Ipanema, Desafinado, Samba de una nota, even if I can't yet play them just for the pleasure of attempting the practice. I really like how you teach! Excellent structure and immediate practice!!
