Hello Everyone,
I recently submitted what I pray is my final draft of my research proposal for my Dissertation. As such, I have a few minutes freed up to check in on my UU peeps!
Here is my new dilemma. I love playing the Uke. I will always play the Uke. There is no part of me that would consider putting it down, never to be played again. That said, I am considering picking up a 6 string axe to play as well. I have only been playing the Uke for about a year and 3 months or so, but I am enjoying it thoroughly. I think that I would like to learn some guitar as well, primarily because I think that learning about another fretted instrument will make me more knowledgeable about music theory, as well as the more readily available guitar enthusiasts in my area being able to teach me new and exciting techniques that can then cross over back to my Uke playing.
Am I selling out, or am I simply taking the next logical step? I grew up as a wrestler. As a wrestler, I will always love the sport, but when I found out about Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, I chose to learn that as well because of the massive amount of technique cross-over between the two sports. It was the best decision I ever made, and I know that my wrestling ability benefitted greatly from it. Will the same thing happen here?
