Hey kids,
Thanks all for all the info and links, I have just started going to the uke club meetings here in Santa Cruz. George Kahumoku sat in last month, gave some tips and taught some tunes, it was pretty cool. That bruddah can play. He busted out some slack key ukulele. Amazing.
I know King Tiki frequents these meetings but I have yet to meet him. Maybe this Thursday he will be around at the next get together.
I have never really played a uke before seriously, only guitars. I have been shopping arounnd a bit for nice used concert uke. I got Menehune Shirley's number at the crawl. I will probally give her a call when I have more stashed away for it, unless I can hook up something locally. Anybody know what the price range is for a decent beginner uke?
Bong is correctamundo (thats a little fonziean) about electric tuner. A pitch pipe will drive you slowly insane. Unless you are musically gifted from birth use the technology but keep practicing tuning by ear. It is a good skill to have. There are too many out of tune instruments in this world and not enough tuners.
Have fun strummin'
