I like the Shroedinger's Ukulele Player theory best. I feel that a guitar player is still a ukulele player though, if he knows how to play ukulele. Are you using uke chords and adding the bass where needed or wanted? Or guitar chords?
I am a complete illiterate hack, so when I got into exploring guitars again, I used uke chords and the top four strings, and tried adding bass strings in here and there. I finally put the ukes away for awhile (since they are all stuck in a small closet that is blocked by multiple huge heavy guitar cases in a very small house), and concentrated on learning guitar chords and scales. Now I play stuff from uke books on the top four strings, and also use guitar chords and scales.
I think the question as posted is unclear. A guitarlele is not a ukulele. It's a small guitar marketed specifically to ukulele players. You play all three instruments and more, so you are a MUSICIAN. You also were a super contributor to UU back when you were more into your ukes. Why would you be unwelcome, you are just focused somewhere else at the current time. You are a valued UU Alumni in my book!
I have two guitarleles, and love the snot out of them! I also love my 8 pound 1935 National Duolian. I don't want to give up playing uke, but it's not at the forefront now. I hope that when I have time to get back to them, I will be a better player.
I only stop by once or twice a month to see what's doing in the uke world, but I would love to have the time to get back into UUU again.
