to be thrilled with my new ukulele?

[asmallbunchofflowers]

I think it may possibly be my favourite Christmas present of all time.

YANBU but I'm sure your neighbours will be on here soon enough:
AIBU to think that is you share a wall you should not be playing a ukulele AT ALL EVER?

Ha! But I would remind you that the ukulele is an acoustic instrument.

be warned, this may only be the start...
we got DD her second ukelele this year! Tis a tenor, and sounds so much nicer!

Fab. I got a Ukelele last year. It's not hard to start getting some notes and tunes out of it.

Tis a fab present!

Tell me more, Himalaya. Did you teach yourself or join a class?

Have you looked at the ukeschool website - quite good little lessons and help with tuning.

I also had a book.

I haven't played it for a while, and didn't get beyond the basic beginner stuff though.

My DS started guitar at the same time and he is really good already, it is a bit depressing...but then he has the teenager's ability to sit in his room strumming away for hours.

You've inspired me to get started again!

ukelele is certainly the instrument du jour.

You are way cool.

I have a black Les Paul one. Bloody lovely. It just seems that the notes are right where they ought to be.

you must learn to play anarchy in the ukelele!

i got DD one for chistmas. only because i want to learn and can strum while she's at school

I got my DD one for her 21st last week - she loves it too.

Is it easier to learn than guitar?

I'd say so LittlePushka.

I love my uke too! They are such fun.

The songwriter Loudon Wainwright said that 'if every child was bought a ukelele at birth, there would be world peace but a lot of lousy music'.

ukulele I mean

How about

My DH is a uke god. A couple of his colleagues have them too. They have uke days at work and have a jam in the office. .

Kurrikurri - was that after one lesson??!! Has a uke only four strings?

yanbu. ukes rock.:)

Oooh. Lots more people to share the ukulele joy. I love the idea of a ukulele jam at work but somehow doubt it will happen for me.

. Yeah baby!

I've had mine for yeeeears [smug] I'm predicting a move onto banjos sometime soon

I cheat with a Baritone Uke (same as top four stings of a standard guitar )

Banjos? banjos?
