Reminded me of Zelda when I heard him playing I ran to the other room so fast

Made an attempt at painting a ukulele in manga art style. Turned out pretty neat!

This lovely piece of instrument came in today. So far I'm enjoying my new Batking solid body bass uke. Aside from playing uke, one of my first instruments I learned and owned was a full size bass guitar (I still have)​ so I've got that skill set under my belt. Digging the short scale length, actually less stretching.

Surprised intonation and other setup was good out of the box especially coming from an Amazon warehouse. Sounds good too, punchy! ​And yes I think my cat likes it :D

It's been a long time since I posted here asking if it's "worth" buying one. Then there were too many hindrances coming my way. And at a point I just gave up. I thought it was just not for me.

Andddd guesss whaatttt!!

My best friend gifted me one for my birthday!!!

It's been like almost a week, and I can already play a few small songs. Im not leaving this baby alone 😭 (I have my uni exams coming up and I haven't studied shit but God help me I can't have enough with this lil guy) it's just sooo prettyyy and sounds soo beautifull 🫠

Also suggest some good tutorials, channels, and other sources to learn!!

Im so excited 😃😃😃

I picked up a Kala SMHT. It’s got D’Addario titanium strings with high G. Got to say I really don’t like the strings. No projection and very stiff/thick. I also think the action is high, compounding the stiff feel. I’m thinking about swapping out with Worth Brown low G. Anyone do that with this uke? Also, does anyone know whether I’m going to need to widen the slot? I’m thinking of taking a stab at sanding down to improve the action but not sure I’m comfortable widening the slot. If I do need to widen, is it all that complicated? Tips? Luthier not really an option where I live and I really want to play.

I’m looking for a tab to the song, “Precious Little Baby Boy.” Never mind what Google AI says, it is a real, published song.

I can currently play C, Am, and F chords. What kind of learning path should I follow?

Yes?

It’s the top line I’m struggling with. My teacher showed me a while back but I forgot. I kind of wish someone could send me video on how to do it. It’s Leave (Get Out) by JoJo.

Is there a video or a song with something similar so
I can visually see it. I’m still learning how to read it and actually play.

Are there any sites/Apps for working out chords from sung melodies? I have a rubbish ear and have previously leaned on band mates to work out the chords to my songs. Surely in this day and age there must be a robot that can do it for me.

Been trying to figure it out, but I don’t feel like I’m getting it

I was wondering if anyone could help me understand transposition.

I was playing drunken sailor like the above in the key of Dm. For the top line you can hold the Dm and C chord shapes to do it. I then wanted to play along with a guitar and a recording. The recording is in the key of Em. So uses Em and D.

I understand to transpose to that key just basically add two to each tab number.

I then realised that If I use the Em and D chords and the same pattern as the tab above, it basically adds 2 to the top line at least, the bottom line is a little different anyway.

Is it a happy accident that the Em and D chords sort of "add 2" for you?

Because some recordings are also in the key of Am. Is there a way of doing this with normal Am and G chord shapes and how would I go about that? Because I think I have to add 7 to the tab numbers to keep the same pattern and play in the key of Am.

I am basically asking is there a way of playing it in Am without going so high up the fret board and how do I learn how to do that or understand it?

Thanks :)

it was literally in a plastic storage bin in the case under two other heavy boxes. she plays instruments too so she knows how to properly store instruments; not in a box under TWO HEAVY BOXES.

sorry i just needed to rant

My friend Ty Bennett joined me for a short set at Tip Top Cafe here in Huntsville 😀💜🎶

Found this Noah Sunburst Ukulele in my local charity shop, it has a fish and pickup too, strap and original soft case for £100.
I am a guitarist but have wanted to branch out for a while. I think it’s absolutely stunning, What do you guys think?

What’s not to love about zombies complaining about their meal plans? One of the most fun Misfits songs for us to play! 💀🤘

i’ve had my ukulele for 7 years, no issues at all.
i recently picked it back up after a couple years of not playing, and as soon as i tune it, it goes out of tune.
is it just because it’s old? should i take it to a shop and get it restringed?
thanks!

Hey all! If you're in the London area I'm hosting two incredible artists next Saturday for a concert at an art gallery in Hackney.

Tickets and all that jazz:

I got this Kala ukulele from vinted. The third string (E) sounds very very different to my current uke. Am I hallucinating or are the strings incorrect? It’s very hard to keep it in tune. That third string keeps coming out of the nut occasionally to.

It was sold as having new strings.

This is on the first album I bought when I was 12 😂DM me if you're looking for 1on1 online lessons. I have a good amount of available spots on the weekends so I'm discounting weekend spots!

I took this from my brother, I'm an adult 36(f) I've been playing it everyday all September.

I was thinking about buying one or getting one at Christmas, I wanted to learn the guitar but I'm starting to think this will be better for me as a first instrument, I do have a guitar waiting for me to pick up at a family members but I I'm enjoying the ukulele, is this one ok for now while I'm still getting to grips with it? I have a ukulele shop near me and I don't mind too much spending a little.

Was trying to learn some Billie Eilish song and ended up coming up with this instead. Still heavily under construction

We spend a lot of times doing fun things together, but playing shows together is hand down our fav things to do.
