Hi everyone, I will briefly introduce myself here before moving on to another thread to ask some questions . My name is Marie, and as the title of my introduction suggests, I am French. I got my first ukulele 1 and 1/2 year ago or so, because I wanted a hobby that would keep me busy without needing to stare at a screen, during the long Nordic winter (I wasn't living in France at the time). Today my ukulele is much more than that : it's my anti-stress during final week, it cheers me up when I'm down, and I love playing it with other people and jamming, even if that has happened literally less than 10 times since I started learning (there aren't many uke players around here, it seems). As you understand, I'm a casual player, neither complete beginner nor advanced, just enjoying playing for myself (and most likely my neighbors, too, gotta love the cardboard walls of student apartments ).
