Subject: RE: Ukulele Thread.
Hello Helen!
I thought this thread was dead and gone - thanks for responding!
Do you play a little uke - a soprano.
I've not had a go at picking the uke yet really. I find that high top string very off putting.. you're expecting a plonk but you get a plink! I'm hoping to put a couple of songs online soon.
I made a little breakthrough this morning finding some blues riffs.
Theres a lady at our folk club who plays trad songs accompanied by a tenore uke - she picks it like a guitar, which is fair enough - but I want to strum!! She's pretty good and like all traddies takes it VERY seriously.
I've got admit - I like to to tune it up a couple of semitones. So its A D Fsharp B.
it sounds sort of cheekier!
best wishes
Al.
