Moin moin,
My name is Steffen, just short of 30 yo and living in the west of Germany. I started playing the Uke in March, so around 4 months ago. The reason we bought a Uke, was that we're going on a roadtrip and we saw "Oh brother where art thou". After the movie we thought we needed a guitar, a guitar seemed unpractical so went for a Uke (also my girlfriend claims, she told me one year ago, that we needed a Uke, but I just laughed at her).
So somehow I got hooked to Uke-playing. First strumming along with youtube tutorials, learning the usual chords and now making my way into the world of fingerstyle Uke. Currently I'm working on three songs: Europa by Carlos Santana, Speak softly love by I don't know whom and comptine d'un autre été by Yann Thiersen. Afterwards I might try bang bang by Nancy Sinatra, but I start running out of ideas for songs.
One great wish would be the köln concert by keith garret, but I don't think that will happen any time soon.
Also, I startet reading the Uke syllabus, but it's a bit heavy on the theoretical side for my liking.
Cheers & looking forward to spending time with you guys.
