Does anyone play the ukulele?

[whyhere]

I've just acquired my first ukulele (a concert) and would love to hear from others who play.

I do, badly!

In case you haven’t found this website yet, this is great for finding new things to learn, and just googling a song and ukulele chords comes up with loads of images.

Ooooh, thank you so much! Why do you think you play it 'badly'?

I do, I don't like it! But I've got myself into a situation where i make money playing the damn thing, so I can't give up at the mo!

Because my dd recorded me 😂

I need to practice more, I haven’t played for a while. It was a lockdown obsession!

If you haven't already, check out the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain.

They are amazing (and very funny live!)

I can, but haven't in ages. I was also going to recommend ukulele orchestra of great britain - there's lots of their videos on youtube and they're amazing!

Thanks so much everyone 😊

I like ukuleles. Cynthia Lin on youtube has the best tutorials in my opinion.

'Bestes' is me - 'whyhere'.

For some reason when I tried to use the app it wouldn't let me join as 'whyhere' so I became 'Bestes'. As it happens, I never use the app 😄

Just stumbled on this - I started playing less than a year ago, joined a local group & love it! We play in nursing homes, fundraise by busking & play at community events.

I'm about to change my first set of strings & very nervous! I have discovered a great resource for songs - there are tons of links here with more links within to a lot of ukelele chords 😁. lewishamukulele.wordpress.com/songs-songbooks/

Yup, have taught it for many years too :)

Ooh @Monkeytennis97 have you any recommendations for groups ? We have a big song book but I'd love us to do some where we can split parts or something to add interest for when we're playing to 'crowds'
