My wife and I decided to start our dreadlocks. We are not going for those nasty dirty dreads. We use a residue free shampoo, a scalp moisturizing spray and for that crazy itch that happens once in a blue moon scalpotin. The residue free shampoo takes out residue. When I started using it it...

Hey all, Just got my new uke yesterday a posted a quick review of the Les Paul Ukulele and my Lanikai Monkey Pod Cutaway. Filmed on Iphone so not the very best sound, but it is what is. Thanks

Not sure I am even posting in the correct location. Not a ukulele video, but my first set of youtube videos of my engagement yesterday! I am so excited!

Hello, I switched to low g along time ago. I play all songs in low g now. I have tried to go back to high g but I cannot. Iz played Over the Rainbow in low g and it might be a great start to get the ear for low g. I love a little bit of bass coming out of my little ukes.

I can get either for a great deal, but I am a torn. 1. is the Lanikai SMP-TCA Solid Monkey Pod Tenor Cutaway and the 2. Lanikai SZW-TCA Cutaway Zebrawood Tenor Acoustic. Link is http://www.lanikaiukes.com/exotic_series.html. I think I am leaning toward the zebra.... but am not sure. Friends...

Just got done and my eyes are bloodshot. Ha ha ha G C/G G D/G G C/G D/G G [Simba:] I'm gonna be a mighty king So enemies beware! C [Zazu:] Well, I've never seen a king of beasts G With quite so little hair [Simba:] I'm...

Haven't been meaning to leave you hanging on Just can't wait to be king. I know I can tab or chord it. I work till midnight and will see if I can get the posted later tonight.

I have gone into seclusion.... well at work that is. I have a secret passion for Disney... probably equal with the ukulele. I will try and post some as soon as I am able to. :)

I have been playing with Standard G tuning as well as Low G tuning for awhile. I switched to a Low G mentally all the way without knowing it till yesterday. If you are in a colder climate like I am in Utah I would recommend loosening your strings if you travel. The car was nice and warm the...

For sure, let me know how you like it or have suggestions. I was working from memory from about the first year I played bass and learned it for the bass to be silly. Sounded good to me on the bass though.

No problem.... I used to play this for fun when I played bass. Was different working the song out for ukulele. Fun little piece to play though.

This one goes out for my buddy MM Stan! :D I am a TV theme junky. I hated Mash growing up, but becoming a night own I really got hooked on the show and love it still. If you like Alan Alda check out Scientific American Frontiers! Here is my best go at the song for low g tuning. M.A.S.H. Theme...

This is not per say a question on scales themselves. I have endless amounts of books on scales. Scales to me are just boring to learn. Any suggestions to help make them less boring. I some books I am pounding into my head with music theory that are really fun for me to learn for some reason. I...

So.... as if my life is not busy enough. I am learning theory, chords/variants and scales. I just got a dang cool multi-purpose printer with scan to pdf and all sort of craziness. I have been trying to make my own flashcards for regular c and low g tunings. ***I wanted to see some input as I...
