This is a slight variation on the goals thread. I think that having a desire to perform live may affect the way you approach the uke. It certainly makes a huge difference to my approach - ha ha since the only reason i took it up was to support myself singing - ie to legitimise my standing around singing in public.
I'm interested in seeing who else plays or aspires ito play live and what extra strategies you put in place to make that go better.
I certainly think its perfectly legitimate and wonderful if people play only for themselves and with friends. That's how i used to be with the guitar as a kid. I just look back now and think why didn't i do more with it. I was so crap on the guitar. I know the answer, alas, but i also can see just how wonderful the internet is in helping people learn more and learn faster. So whether your play only for yourself or up on a stage somewhere, its all good. The more people playing music and or making art or any sort in this world the better it is for everyone, but especially the participants.
