so I was jamming with a couple of my friends last night, (I wanted to after what you guys said in the other thread ) one was playing a guitar like a lap steel, (he had raised the nut) and the other was doing a lot of fingerpicking on the guitar.
so as we were playing some old hymns, they started to realize that my uke sounded a lot like a Mandolin, if strummed like one. so i started doing just a down strum on every other beat.... as we were playing "Ill Fly Away" (one of my favourite old hymns) it started to click, then i actually got the rhythm down... and boom, Blue Grass Ukulele.... we played other more bluegrassy songs, and man it was great. '
I think, (if you haven't already tried this) you should get with some guitar players and strum up some bluegrass
