I am still primarily using the Ukulele Teacher from Youtube as my primary form of instruction because I can follow along and see the notes I should be playing at the same time. I can also hear what it is supposed to sound like which is great. Additionally I have practiced the finger picking that was recommended for this song instead of just the down down up up strumming pattern. I'm not gonna lie the finger picking sounds pretty cool and I've even just been playing around with mixing up different strumming patterns and finger picking just to see how it sounds.
In all this week I haven't really learned any new chords or notes because I have just been focusing mainly on this one song but this song itself is sounding better. I guess they are right, practice makes perfect... although I am far from perfect at this current stage.
