How many of you concert and tenor Ukers actually play "up the fretboard"? Stringbean (famous banjo player) said that the first five frets was "where the money was".
I must admit that I seldom go above the ninth fret. For one thing, I don't like the sound of the plinky high notes. And my fingers don't fit the high frets well either. I suppose a soprano would be good enough for me if it was bigger and a little mellower.
When I began ukin', I worked on chords up the fretboard, but I wandered from that study into other things. I can't even imagine why someone would have a cutout to play the frets on the Uke top.
Well, different strokes for different folks I guess. I was just wondering what others were doin'. ld:
