This is my new ukulele - picked up today from FedEx. Not only did it arrive unbroken, it was also actually almost in tune! I'm not giving up the mandolin. With my tendonitis I just can't play it enough to feel satisfied, musically speaking. I figured the open-hand non-pick strumming on a uke would be much easier for my right arm. And it is; I can't even feel the tendon area AT ALL while playing the uke.
I learned this little tune tonight from themusicteacher on youtube. I don't claim to be a singer, and I don't know any special strumming techniques yet, but here is my first song:

Eddie and Johnny were initially quite curious about the uke, but now they are already used to it. Johnny, though, is LOVING the crinkly shipping paper that came in the box.
O "fudge." I knew I forgot something. I forgot to look/listen at the video before you dumped it again. My bad. Do you have sun there? I miss sun. Maybe you could send me the video? Does that work? Funny, right after talking to you about ukelele, public radio had a ukelele guy on & he played Bohemian Rhapsody.
ReplyDeleteI'll put it up one more time, just for you, and let you know the window. We have a little sun, not much, but it's still way too cold to do stuff.
ReplyDeleteOkay now, I just found your comment and don't know if you already posted it again and dumped it already. Pooh.
