Hey!
Sorry for the long post - I hope you'll take the time to answer Thanks
I have always wanted to be able to sit down and play music that was either my own or something I had learned to play by myself, by hearing songs.
I find myself limited to only tabs - only playing songs that others have been kind enough to write down in tabs. Problem is - when I've learned a song from a tab, I just don't know what to do with it afterwards.
Though it feels great to be able to play something new, I always know that I can't do more with the song then others that have also learned to play the same song.
I don't have too much trouble learning new songs and due to excessive practicing I often learn a complete song within a day or two - ranging from many of Jake's original songs to Beatles, Billy Joel etc. that has been tabbed (Big shoutout to Colin Tribe for excellent tabs!!)..
But I always find myself wanting more. I want to be the one writing tabs - I want to be able to share and express myself through the ukulele - if that makes any sense
I'm currently half way through the theory-class on UU+ and have learned quite a bit there. Although I am familiar with most of the music theory, having it specified to a ukulele is quite helpful and have been an eyeopener several times.
I keep coming back to HMS' youtubechannel. Hearing Corey Fujimoto playing is such an inspiration and is really what I want to be able to do.
It just all seems to far away and so difficult, compared to my abilities at the moment.
But the only reason I keep on going is knowing that I will never get there unless I do something about it.
So my question is - is it possible?
With dedicate training would something like this be achived within 1 year? 2, 3, 4 or 5 years?
I know it's hard to say - but how long did it take for you or are you still getting there?
Thanks guys!
