Down here we strum by the nut & play the chords by the soundhole.
Usually while standing on our head.

Mojo
I`m with you on this one,often i write a song & think(foolishly)
hey thats not bad,so i put it out there because i`m kinda proud of it.
I`ve got a couple of friends that say kind things,but at the end of the day
nobody else likes it.
Not to worry though i`m having a ball and i guess thats what it`s all about.
If one person likes it, thats a real bonus, it`s all been worth while.
good luck & keep writing! keep the pickle juice flowing.

Great to see others picking up some of the original songs.
I can tell ya,it`s very encouraging when someone else covers your song.
But i also think theres something in it for the person covering it
when i`ve covered some of u guys it`s a real buzz.
well done Joe3chords

I dabble with the uke a bit.
When playing with others i find 90% are soprano players.
Don`t know why everyone buys a soprano?
Yeah it sounds a whole lot better if you have a mix of ukes.
as for baritone,i can`t understand.why not play guitar instead.
Look forward to seeing more comments from you,i know there`s a lot of uke players on Chordie.

Calloused Hands
Lived in this house for many a year
But lately houses been sold
and houses been bought
New people moving in
Lived in an average house i always thought
In an average street
In an average town
They think different to me
They talk different to me
They have different aspirations in life
I`m the only one
with calloused hands
The only working class guy in our street
They shuffle paper for all of their day
End of the week collect good pay
I`m the only one
With calloused hands
The only working class guy in our street

Gidday,
Could you clever people give me an idea of a very well known 12 bar blues song.
I`m helping a learner,so a simple one would be good.
Thank you very much.

Pat yaself on the back,ya lyrics are always excellent
Strum pattern / tempo/ chords aren`t  the answer.
U need to ask others for honest comments.
Reading your latest, i could hear how u were going to do it by the meter of the lyrics.
I think the problem is in your head,just need to change your thinking, not a lot though.

Peatle is right  FEEL is very important!Uke players go on about strum, where feel is neglected.

You off to a great start.When you get stuck for words ask yourself.
how/what/ when/ why.
answer these questions
then relax forget about writing a song for the moment,write down your thoughts.
hey presto  you got a song!
Good luck,look forward to finished product.
YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
