Hi all
My name is Steve. I'm 38. I've played bass for twenty plus years, but earlier this year I was diagnosed with terminal breast and spinal cancer. I can no longer physically support the weight of a bass guitar, so whilst I was in hospital earlier last year my friends clubbed together and bought me a mahogany U Bass. It's so light I can lift it easily. I still can't believe the sound that comes from it. Since then I have acquired a Kala tenor and a Noah Concert. I am currently having a Rob Collins Tin Guitar soparano sapele uke made for me. I can't wait! I'm finding learning chord shapes for the first time easy, but I'm finding my strumming inconsistent, having only ever played bass, both finger style and pick. It's a completely different technique to plucking single notes. Looking forward in the time I have left on this earth to improving my uke skills. I don't know how much time I have, but I'm determined to enjoy it.
