    I realize this was posted a few years ago, but i had to comment. I tried to start learning a couple of years ago and got frustrated with chord transitions and got busy at work. I'm 53 and have never played an instrument and was trying to learn on my own because I've been told how easy it by several people. I've tried to pick it up another time, which resulted in the same frustration. I stumbled upon a neighbor that's part of a community uke group, which I've joined. So I've started learning again. I practice daily, and I am improving but still struggling with transitions. I was so happy to find this video. Your pointers make so much sense. It will be part of my daily practice going forward. I'm pretty excited about my chances for success. Thank you so much.
