How many TBers play Ukulele?

[Gord_oh]

I just order my first soprano Ukulele. I pretty excited to start learning it. Its portable, and fun. Ive never seen an upset Uke player...Plus I like the idea of having something I can take with me just about anywhere.

Just curious how many people actually play one?

 

[Marcus Johnson]

Me do.

 

[arginator]

Me too.

 

[synaesthesia]

So do I.

 

[spitfire70]

I do! I do!

Off topic, but I met this guy last year. Pretty damn amazing on the Ukulele. His name is Jake Shimabukuro.

Yeah it's hard to be pissed off when you're playing one.

i know right.
i pretty much bought an entry level Uke.

that and a gig bag for under $60.

Fraid I don't. Is a mandolin close enough? I play a pretty mediocre mandolin but it's a ball at campfires.

I got one last year for my birthday. I should really get back into it so I play music everywhere I want.

and i agree with the whole not being upset when you play. It's like seeing someone upset on a pogostick. Or as a Daniel Tosh says, a jet ski.

 

[phatbass]

Me.

I'm all about the baritone ukulele

Gotta keep down the low end!

 

[Gord_oh]

ill start on soprano and then we will see how things go.
so far this summer im going to learn:
acoustic guitar
electric guitar
ukulele
harmonica

i guess im going big. i have a list of instruments id like to learn, but this is a pretty full plate for now.

 

[Gord_oh]

man...im having a harder time waiting for my first uke, than i normally do waiting for a bass.

watching videos and reading up on it while im slow at work, im uber excited

I do, a bit. I know a couple of chords and can pop out a shoddy version of House of the Rising Sun and that's about it.

I've got a purple Mahalo one that I got for £15.

 

[can_v]

I do, but not much. My brother bought one for me as a gift. He's been playing it for a while and was looking for someone to play with. I'm the only guy in the entire family who play music instruments, so he got me one. it's a yellow Mahalo.

I play a Tenor Uke ~ I'm up to 50 cover tunes

great for camping or acoustic jams
I put it in a backpack jump on my bike & cruise

 

[Muddslide]

I played pretty seriously from around 2000-2005. Still have a couple, but don't really pick it up anymore. Great, fun instrument though.
