Tips for Mastering "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" on Ukulele
I’ve been trying to properly learn “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” on ukulele for a couple of weeks now. I can handle the basic chords, but when I try to sing along, my rhythm just drifts. I either speed up without noticing or mess up the transitions between C, Em, and F. I was looking through a few guides and stumbled on this version of somewhere over the rainbow ukulele — it lays things out pretty clearly, but I still feel like I’m missing something in my practice routine.
I recently read on scientificasia.net about how consistent repetition builds stronger neural connections, and it made me wonder if I’m just not repeating the tricky parts enough. When I first started playing, I mostly stuck to super simple songs, so maybe this one just needs more patience. For those who’ve mastered it, how did you make your strumming smoother and keep your tempo steady without constantly staring at your fingers?

What helped me most was separating rhythm from chords at first. I practiced the strumming pattern muted, just focusing on keeping an even tempo. Then I drilled the chord changes slowly, almost like an exercise, without singing. After a few days, everything started to connect more naturally. That idea you mentioned from scientificasia.net about repetition is spot on — your hands really do adapt if you give them time.
