Hello! I'm Kateri, from Kauai, going to school on Oahu.

I don't play ukulele, I'm more of a guitar kind of person so I really don't know why I'm here haha

Actually I do know why I'm here! Cuz I support Aldrine and Rayan! :p And I like forums too (remember the emoart forum, Rayan? haha)
 
hey guys what's up. i use dot live in honolulu,hawaii, when i was going to Radford High school. but my dad's military so i eventually moved out of the area but took my uke with me^_^. i saw Aldrine's post on myspace so i jumped on board.:D

Hey Terrell,

Thanks for checking it out. Good job finding it because Aldrine linked to an error page in his bulletins :p
 
haha yea noticed that. we should all give him crap for it:p. haha this is a great idea cuz i really liked the uke lessons and didn't want them to die. alright, time to go spam da site some more^_^
 
Hey whats up guys. My name is Christian and ive been constantly playing ukulele for about a year and a half now. I live in the city of lakewood in cali. I decided to join when i saw Aldrine's bulletin on Myspace, so here i am.

Hey I'm Aaron - been messin' around on uke since small kid time when my cousins were all in the Kapaa Elementary School Ukulele Band and I wasn't. They taught me everything they knew (which was pretty much just "Surf" and "White Sandy Beach"), marking the beginning of my lifelong musical journey, with sprinkles of uke scattered pretty evenly throughout. Now I make videos for Aldrine, teach ukulele couple times a week at a school (where I pretty much just show kids how to play "Surf" and "White Sandy Beach"), and help out here. I'm psyched to meet everybody and hope people will stick around and chill. Welcome to The Underground.

Hey im Kris :D

Location: Germany
Playing ukulele since: 1,5 years

I got a band and like jamming with other people...uhhhh yeah?!.

Im waiting for more videos from Aldrine ... imma copy him :D!
 
Just Joined Ukuleleunderground!

Hey Aldrine, Thanks for the invite! Good Luck with this venture! As for me, I'm simply a displaced "haole" from Kailua, Hawaii. Spend my early years there. Went to Kailua High on Oahu, played music locally for awhile, but somehow ended up in Lexington, KY. many years later. Wish I could get back to the surf and sun! The uke helps me remember my Hawaii 50 connection. Been playing my new tenor G-String uke these days. However, I'd like to check out a Kamaka like yours though. Having a bit a trouble with the intonation on this uke. Very flat in the high register. Changed strings, etc... Still out. Could be just poor workmanship. I figure the bridge placement is wrong from the factory. Don't know... Anyway, I'm enjoying your video's along with Jake's and the Dominator's work. Been working on your "Bandito Tyler" middle breakdown groove. Very cool. I wish you much success in the future! See ya, E-Lo...

hey guys my name is Erik I live in Redondo Beach, CA. Ive been playing uke for about 3 years now(that in no way suggest that i am very good at it :) )
 
Landon,

From Kapolei. Been playing for around 2 years. I love to play the ukulele so when i seen Aldrines bulletin i came and signed up. I have 3 Kamaka's one was my Grandpas and is a 24 year old Tenor (my fav). another is a 2002 eight string (fun to play on but i prefer the four string), and last but not least is another tenor but this one you can hook up to and amp. I liked the lessons on iamhawaii and am looking forward to bettering myself through this sight.

Aloha,

Landon

Right on Landon. Yup, all the new ukulele lessons are going to be posted here on Ukulele Underground so you came to the right place. We got 2 filmed already and we're just trying to create some more content so the site won't be boring. I think Aaron and Aldrine are going to be filming more sometime soon. We'll keep you updated on the progress and when we get ready for the launch.

Nice to see you Martin coming over from iamhawaii.com! Welcome to the underground Erik!
