I used to think the hole in the upper bout was for a model that offered a pickup that hadn't been installed on some, because not everyone wants them.

When I was in 3rd grade, I was listening to popular music on the radio, and my older siblings' records. Definitely not children's songs. By 4th grade I started my own record collection that did not...

My uke sounds much better up the neck when I tune down a whole step to Bb6 tuning for some reason. Also it's easier to play, louder and the tone is beautiful.

My favorite chord progressions ...

I like Imperial because the basic measurement is base 12, if they went further with that it would be perfect. Divide inches into 12ths instead of 16ths, a mile should be divisible by 12, something...

You didn't say what key you want to sing it in, so here's the key they recorded it in for the movie. A few chords could be better, but this works for me. Good luck.
edit: Here's a few more from...

I love what you did to this tune so much. The simple change from a minor 7 chord to a dominant 7 makes this song much more interesting and dark.

Excellent John. The song is very nice as well. Your singing is reminiscent of Dylan.

Thanks Jim, my uke, is also body heavy, but when I hold it without a strap and remove my left hand, the neck does dip. I wouldn't want to strum it like that for very long, but it doesn't bother me...

I was reading the Martin OX neck heavy thread when I realized, I don't know what the standard is for "neck heavy" in ukuleles. What makes a uke neck heavy, what makes one balanced? I haven't picked...

Well, I guess you think this hurts my feelings. Grow up. The story I have chosen to believe was suggested by a real Hawaiian, Queen Lili’uokalani. You don't want to believe her, she was around when...

Well, he also got the chords wrong and the time signature wrong too, but it doesn't bother me. I like the way he does it, he made it his own, the way he likes it. Usually I get the words wrong too,...

It's hard to find a better one than Israel Kamakawiwoʻole playing Over the Rainbow

It seems like you are the one being bigoted. My mind is open and yours is closed. If someone doesn't agree with what you say, you try to bully them into accepting your opinion. The fact is, no one...

First off, I don't think I'm gifted at all, but I think I figured out the first note and also identified the C note. I don't want to say before anyone gets a chance to listen for themself...

Pedantic can be a very didactic thing to say to another person.

I am not an expert on this tool, but I imagine that the closer to your target diameter, the less chance for a mistake. If you can find something cheaper, I would go for that instead, but if you don't...

I used it because it was what I had. The taper didn't negatively affect the installation, it worked perfectly. You will notice that with tuners, a slightly larger hole works perfectly and a small...

On the other side of the coin, and not so much on this site, is people with such thin skin that they take every comment in the worst way possible, jumping to unintended conclusions and making...

You can find a nice T-handle tapered reamer 3.175mm-12,7mm at hardware stores near you for 25 Aus money or less. Here's something on Amazon, from Nidaye. It is similar to the ancient one I used to...

Here are the chords to Shine on Your Shoes that George is playing here.
He starts by strumming a G7 for the intro then:
|C|Dm|C|Dm|C A7|D G7|C|Dm G7|C|Dm|C|Dm|C A7|D G7|C|C!C!|
Then the bridge...

Have you guys noticed how often people in TV shows and movies are shhh-ing each other these days? I think, in general, people don't like to be shushed. It seems to be one of these goofy trends that...

Dear Uke people, I don't see the significance of all the anti-facebook comments. I never mentioned facebook in the OP, and am not asking this forum to be like facebook. I don't even use it, but I do...

It seems that some of you have jumped onto the idea that the Ukulele Underground is not social media...well, it 100% is social media. A forum is one of many of available types of social media. I...

Can there please be a shaka button or a like button to show appreciation or approval of a comment without having to reply or leave a comment? This way we can participate in a conversation even if we...

Dave, I appreciate you bringing this to my attention. I never considered it before that someone might not see it. I think usually links are in blue and underlined, but not here for some reason. I am...
