I sometimes play the ukulele when I'm thinking about something in my room. I often feel relax with this simple, light and easy instrument. It has four nylon strings tuned to GCEA. It is characteristic that the first G is usually raised one octave. Some people drop the first G one octave, which is called "Low-G tune," to spread the lower range, however, I prefer the normal tuning because it sounds more ukulelish. As I have been playing for years, I can play several songs, but I feel a little bit bored with the same songs. I'm now reading a ukulele code book because I hope to play whatever music I like with a melody and codes. The code theory looks interesting just like a puzzle. If I could fully understand the code theory and remember some finger patterns, I might be able to play ad-lib. If you think ukulele is a kind of toy instrument, I strongly recommend to see this video. You must change your opinion to this instrument.
Great! The buffering could not overtake the speedy movement of his right hand.

There is a Japanese instrument like a guitar. I can't spell the name but I can say how it is pronounced, SHAM OH SHEN. Can you play one of those?

George and his mates were bitten by the uklleue bug before most of the rest of us.It would have been difficult to have lived anywhere but England in the pre-YouTube days and have been aware of them. And if they seem odd to people today, just imagine how people perceived them when they were starting out.Video views are a matter of perspective, of course. One hundred in an hour is impressive up to a point. When I stumbled onto the most recent (at the time, anyway) cover by Julia Nunes, it had 13,000 views in less than one day, and after two days had 23,000 views. The most famous uklleue rendition ofI'm Yours has 25.7 million views after nine months.
