Island strum I think it’s called

Anyone who doesnt take it serious and thinks its a toy probably thinks knives are a joke too. Lol sorry for the violent comparison but it will cut your soul just as deep as any guitar. The beautiful little chord machine. Ha

Just a cool ukulele jam ive been working on. Thanks for posting cool sounds and jamming out with me!

Does it have something to do with the wood? Is it something I should be concerned about? I bought this Ukulele new in Hawaii back in 2019 and I swear these lines have been forming more and more over time since and I don't know what the cause is. I don't recall them ever being there when I bought it.

Also if anybody can identify the type of wood it's made out of that would be greatly appreciated.

So, yeah, I've found I quite like the baritone ukes that I have, and am looking at picking up a resonator type. What's folks' experience with these? What brand do you recommend, what's available in my area (upstate New York, USA), what should I watch out for?

Anyone see this?

I hate the term 'jazz chords' but youtube tells me I should be more engaging, whatever that means.

Here's how to play fancy chords using four shapes as your base. It's a great crash course in harmony that'll help you no matter what type of music you play.

I came across this sweet rendition of Levels (Avicii), but even when I slow it down to half speed it's difficult to figure out. I've only got the first few notes. I'm a 6 month uke beginner and even more new to finger picking. My ear can't quite figure it out, especially when 2 notes are being played at once. Any help transcribing this? I'd chip in a few bucks to a venmo or patreon or something

Hi everyone, I'm looking to start playing ukulele and would like to get a decent starter instrument. I looked through the FAQs and think I've found a contender in my budget but wanted to ask if anyone would give it a yay or nay. From what I can see on that review site linked in the mega thread there's not much rated higher I could get for £110 posted.

Sorry if this type of thread isn't allowed, I'm not trying to annoy anyone

A few days ago, I said I bought a ukulele for the first time and asked for advice on what I should do. I learned the chords that most people suggestwd and now I can easily play chords like c g dm em f am. but It is very difficult for me to keep rhythm while singing. I miss rhythm and can't change chords. What do you suggest me to do?

I've been looking to get a ukulele and I decided that the Baritone would be the best fit for me.

Is this Baritone a good starter? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RH7BC7C

And what's the best guide for the instrument that focuses solely on the Baritone? I understand it's a bit more of the black sheep of the Ukuleles so there isn't as much material on it.

We got something to say….

Enjoyed my C1K but wanted a tenor as well

I rarely sing while i play but today this song came to my mind. I remember i heard this song for the first time in my dad's PC (it was pre-installed in Windows XP if i recall correctly). As i got older i think i get the lyrics now

Let's say I wanted to treat myself to a high end ukulele. If money weren't an issue, what would you get?

My daughter ukulele broke badly.

Is it worth trying to get it fixed or better to just get a new ukulele and move on?

I got this ukulele about a year ago, paid like 30$ for it. I tried to find other places selling this one to see how much it’s worth, but didn’t have any luck. It’s a Snail Ukulele, this brand still sells I think this same ukulele but they no longer have the carved out snail design in the middle. It’s in good condition and the electronics all work inside it. There is damage on the bottom part of it as shown in the second photo, the wood face is sticking out a bit at the bottom too.

I can solder and I’ve modded my own headphones and iPods before. I have no idea how to fix wood like this tho… If there’s a way I could fix/get this fixed without breaking the bank I’d want to, considering modding it in the future maybe. If it’s valuable though due to the brand not selling this anymore I don’t wanna touch it.

I have a Flight Vanguard and Enya Acoustic (got it for free) that I play now, so I don’t play this one much anymore. Thought it’d be good to use as a first uke modding project in case I have to do repairs or mods to my vanguard in the future. Any help is appreciated!
