Wow! How did I end up here?

Hi everyone,

My name is Tommy and basically I'm a singer. My musical taste is very diverse but my style and preference for singing (at this stage of my life) is old school blues, R&B and soul (Motown). Of course I rocked out in my younger days but found that most of my rock favorites had a blues background and I was attracted to that blues guitar scale! Eventually I picked up the Guitar for a short period as well as the Harmonica but dropped them to focus more on vocals. That's when I returned to what I started out listening to as a child. Motown, R&B, soul etc.

So what brings me here? Actually this all took place in just the last few hours, after seeing a musician on T.V. this morning playing a Ukulele. Of all the times I've seen and listened to this instrument suddenly something struck me! A connection to the guitar...something I knew a little (very little) about. Hmmm....could I learn this? Could it possibly even be easier? Well, that leads to my question(s). I'll post that in the forum proper.

Thanks

Tommy

Welcome, Tommy! Great to have you here.

Welcome aboard.

Welcome, Tommy.

Check out DaddyStovepipe on YouTube, he has quite a few blues ukulele tutorials with him singing along. Also guitar ones, but just hit the channel and do a channel-search for ukulele.

Welcome to UU Tommy - and just wanted to say - if you have a musical background, picking up ukulele is immensely rewarding. I started off playing brass and singing (classical choral music mostly) in college, picked up a uke in my late thirties and it totally rejuvenated my musical life.

Thanks for the welcome I'm looking forward to getting started.

Glad your here!!
