[inlxve]

I've had my uke that I've gotten for about a month and I want to get a better uke sooo bad! you're actually playing the uke that i wanted! im taking this as a sign....

[babiegirl1987]

LAWL. Love the first part, I almost thought you really couldnt play haha

[icyha0]

ur ending rock!

You're doing great. I have a uke that I pick up now and then and always revert to playing "Little Brown Jug" that I learned 55 years ago from Arthur Godfrey on TV. Wish I could be better at it.

how can you call a pineapple flea atrocious????

Mine is sweet and lovely and versatile. Yes versatile - turn it back to front and start tapping it.

I am never seen without my ukulele drum and have even been known to strike the strings occasionally.

Please take back you comment on it being atrocious the flea doesn't really deserve a reputation like that.

I don't see any comments like the one you mention. Are you sure you are on the right page?

I think she confused your eBay uke and your Flea

in the "info" box...

I saw a thread about E chords on UkuleleUnderground.

Some people substitute E7 whenever possible,

others say "just keep practicing 'till you get it",

which is the way I'm leaning.

Try barring with middle or ring finger

rather than using three finger tips...

same story. drawn to uke songs for some reason. so after playing guitar for a few years i just picked up my first uke off ebay! can't wait to get it!

did you play guitar or anything else before this?

[NewerUker]

I have a guitar and took lessons 13 years ago. Learned most of my chords and some basic songs. Never got much better even when about a year ago I tried to learn some stuff off of youtube. Turns out it wasn't the right instrument for me. I love the uke! I am a fair bit better now 2 months later so I will need to post again. Good luck.

I agree about the E chord, I still suck at it after about 9 months. I just try not to play songs with it in them, which cuts out about half the freakin songs in the world.

[BoofheadOh]

welll done mate. Im only one month into uke an have a flea on order : ). Since you know bout twice as many chords as me - im thinkin im on track - an that NICE ta know !!

[NewerUker]

Glad it helpped in some small way. You will love your flea!

[NewerUker]

Ok so will the E chord just get easier with time? It is the only thing that seems darn near impossible to get better at.
