So… my latest musical obsession…. the ukulele.
It's a danged easy instrument to fall in love with… and ever since I've started takin it seriously (I've had my uke for about ten years… just started seriously learning a bunch of songs for it about a month or so ago)… I've been playing it obsessively.It's an awesome instrument. I don't care what all you guitarists say about it being some sort of child's guitar…. ….it isn't.So yeah… other than that…. nothing much going on for me….. sitting at my computer…. typing with one hand and practicing chords on my uke with the other. Heh.
I want one. Where do you get them?
Hawaii. Well, that's where they come from, but you can get 'em pretty much anywhere. Music stores, y'know.
I have one too (a real one, not the toy kind, and I actually know how to play it). They're a lot of fun. Very mellow and relaxing to play… easier than a guitar, except that the frets are way smaller.My mom used to be able to play the Ukelele. She skipped a grade, and her teacher taught her because she had spare time after school and my mom was stuck there for a while…
Too bad she can't play anymore, I would've like to have heard my mom play an instrument.Ukelele's remind me of Banjo's, but they're both cool.
Smaller frets would be a pain though, I think I'm gonna have big fingers.I have a banjo too. =]
I have ur mumz! ^__^
Vary hilarious, JID… nice and mature.
And I"m surprised that there are a few uke players on 64D… we're (uke nuts) are a rather small minority in most places…. I have one friend who plays uke…. and another who owns a 60 year old one that he has never tried playing. I want his uke… or at least I want to convince him to take it up….
