Aloha all!
New to Chordie and to the ukulele. I've had various [brief] infatuations with the guitar since I was a kid and never stuck with it but now in my 40's, I got on a Hawaiian kick late last year and fell in love with outrigger canoeing as well as the ukulele. 4 strings instead of 6 (easier for my simple mind I guess), small and easy to cart around, and da sound iz da kine! I never applied myself to learn music. I'm more of a by-ear and chord chart player. I should, and probably will, learn to read music one of these days.
I have two [affordable] sopranos at the moment and am contemplating getting a concert soon. I'd love to get a KoAloha or Keilii someday but for now I got what I bought.
I'm diggin' more Hawaiian music than anything else right now. Trad and some contempo stuff. Just feels right. I've been surfing the web for ukulele stuff and came upon a great find last month. Don't know why I didn't stumble on it sooner. http://www.iamhawaii.com/ Go to IAH TV and there you'll find some great how-to ukulele vids by two uk greats, Aldrine Guerrero and Jake Shimabukuro. Ono stuff. Ya gotta sign up to see it though
Pau.
