這兩個月以來，高頡正在勤勞地練習烏克麗麗。因為我是自學的關係，所以我有找了很多資料，順便提供給自學烏克麗麗的朋友們，自學其實不難，在於你肯不肯下功夫去學習。這兩個月，在沒有音樂基礎下的我，已經學會了幾首Jake的曲子呢！
大師級的Jake給我們的學習要點：
A Few Ukulele Tips... (點選下方"閱讀更多"看內容！)
1. Change your strings at least once every 2 months.
最少每兩個月換一次琴弦。
2. File the finger nails of your strumming hand and use a buffer to really make them smooth. You'll get a better tone when you pick and strum!
磨整你刷弦那隻手的手指，以美容用的磨指甲器將他們磨的平滑。當你彈和刷的時候將會有更好的音色。
3. Keep the nails on your other hand really short. It'll be easier to hold your chords.
左手指甲盡量短，能使你更輕鬆地按和弦。
4. Practice playing really soft/quite and be very gentle with the strings. This will help you with your control and dynamics.
練習彈奏時非常柔和、安靜，並且溫柔地對待你的弦們。對於你的控制力和表現力有幫助。
5. Work on one hand at a time. For example, if you're learning a new chord progression, practice holding the chords first without strumming. Then once you get that down, then add the other hand.
每次只練一隻手。例：學新和弦時，先練左手按弦的位置，不要刷弦；掌握後才加進右手刷弦。
6. Play songs that make you happy! That way you'll always be inspired to practice!
選能令自已開心的樂曲彈奏，能使練習時啟發出更多靈感。
7. Make sure to take breaks during your practice sessions! Don't practice for more than an hour without taking a 10 minute break. Your muscles need time to rest. Also, if your fingers get too tired and you can't concentrate, you'll start developing bad habits.
練習時要安排小休，如練習1小時就要給肌肉休息10分鐘，手指太疲倦 / 無法集中精神的練習對你有害無益。
8. Don't get frustrated. If you start feeling discouraged or angry because you can't play a song, just take a break and rest for a while. Remember, playing your instrument should be fun and relaxing.
別覺得洩氣。價如你開始感覺挫折或生氣，為了無法彈奏一首曲子，那就休息一下喘口氣。記住，彈奏你的樂器一定要開心而且輕鬆。
9. If you're really having a difficult time learning a song, just break it down to the basics. Work on short segments. Just practice one measure over and over. Then add the second measure. Then later add the third. Keep going until you've got the whole song down.
遇上難度高的樂曲，可拆散來練習，先完成一個小節，之後才加上另一個，如意類推，直至完成整首歌。
10. Try to practice everyday. Even if you only have five minutes. As your finger muscles develop, you'll find yourself learning a lot quicker.
養成每天練習的習慣，5分鐘也好，這樣可使肌肉得以發展，有助往後的學習事半功倍。
Have fun and enjoy! Ganbatte!!!
祝樂在其中，加油！

1. When strumming, position your right hand so that your finger makes contact with the strings between the 12th and 14th fret.
當在彈奏的時候，將你的右手姿勢置好，刷在琴格的第12～14格之間。
2. Always wipe your ukulele down after long practice sessions...especially the neck of the instrument.
在長時間練習之後，一定要擦拭你的烏克麗麗...特別是琴頸的部份。

仔細的聽每一個你彈奏出的音符/聲音。
