Haha that is so awesome. I haven’t been able to find a ukulele community near me. I brought my daughter A ukulele buddy which allows you to play by just pressing buttons so hopefully I’ll have a jam partner 😎
@surferjay Do you play klezmer ukulele?
@charles605 that’s awesome, being honest I did not know that was a thing. That’s the great thing about the Uke there are so many styles.
Playing or hearing others especially live is a great motivator. I started playing the Uke back in November 2020. I had a little Mahalo Soprano which I brought for my daughter. I played it for 3 months then put it down for probably the same time after that as I’m not much of a singer and got mixed reactions haha
I went away with some friends for the weekend and he plays the bouzouki. Cut a long story short he plugged it in and started playing and I was like this is unreal. It was so enjoyable to sit in the warm evening listening to a live performance.
Feeling inspired I brought a Concert, then A Tenor, then an amp then a loop pedal and I’m working on making my own live set.
I would never have got this far without 1. This site 2. Being inspired by other amateur musicians 🙂
@surferjay
I bought a cheap soprano at Walmart last December. Though it felt too small I fellinlove with it. Just got an electric tenor and am so excited about my ukulele future. As you said I owe my success to Rockclass101 and this community. (I’ve learned one song)
On the surfing theme I’m kicking this song around.
Wipeout is a very cool song. Check out Honoka & Azita… & also Taimane they both have awesome versions of this on the Uke.
All the sizes have their own distinct sound. I have 2x cheap sopranos, a cheap Kala Concert & A Cordoba Electric Tenor. I pretty much only play the Tenor.
It’s great to watch everybody grow as musicians it’s a very fun journey to be on.
