We met online about a year ago and instantly kicked it off, the only problem, i'm from Ontario (CAN) and she's from Pennsylvania (US). So far our long distance relationship has been working out though, she is seriously the sweetest girl I have ever met, and we both love each other dearly. The only thing is that while we know what each other looks like (And yes we did the shoe on head and all that, she's real gents! lol), we've never heard each other's voices before.
So being the hopeless romantic that I am and also being a semi beginner at the uke, I decided that I want to write a song for her... I know, I know, many of you would say for me to set realistic goals for myself and not jump the gun like that and remind me that it takes years of practice to master the uke, but this girl is special to me and I really want to do something that she will remember me for. I'm not looking to master the uke within a month, but she lives so far away and I don't think we'll be meeting for quite some time so i'd say that I have plenty of time to practice. But this dear reader is where you come in, i'm jobless and I don't have any money to pay for lessons and I don't know where to start with my playing. I've been playing on and off for three years and I never seemed to learn anything that increased my skill, I only know the first few licks to Stairway To Heaven (Zepplin), Tiptoe Through The Tulips (Tiny Tom) and Land Down Under (Men At Work) (thank you Aldrine XD)
My fingers are clumsy, my playing is amateur at best, my singing voice is okay and in my heart is the fiery passion to learn so I can create this song for her.
So far i'm still busy with college, but I can spare an hour or two to practice each night. All I need is a teacher to help me learn...
I have Skype, a fairly good microphone and a tenor uke, but again, I have no money to pay someone back, but if someone would actually take the time to teach me, I promise to be a good student and practice/study diligently, not only that but you would also have the unparalleled respect of a guy you've never met! Sweet deal huh?
Yes I know it's not much and seems like a kinda silly request, but what can I say, love makes you do stupid things that can sometimes change your life...
So on the off chance that someone does want to take pity and teach this poor love trodden sod how to play for the love of his life, then send me a pm and we can talk.
