Hi Everyone,
I am new here. I read the great book "The complete what ukulele players really want to know" written by Barry Maz. He mentioned this forum several times in the book and I felt I had to be a member here.
I bought my first ukelele in July 2003 (handmade from a coconut at Mactan Island, Philippines), but I didn't manage to learn anything by my self then. I see that one as a funny thing from the Philippines.
I have been playing the guitar for soon too many (38) years and I still reckon that the guitar is my main instrument. I play the guitar almost every day for an hour or two. I also do play some bass. The ukulele is not played that often as the guitar, but I do like to play on it.
I joined a local music club for almost exactly 5 years ago and last autumn they decided to start to play the ukulele. Then I bought my second ukelele from Gear 4 music. Not any fancy one just a cheap tenor ukelele (my fingers are too big for soprano ukeleles) with pick-up and inbuilt tuner. Last week I changed strings and now it is tuned with a low G. I plan to get another tenor ukelele and my plan is to have one with a low G and one in standard tuning.
Later last year I got a soprano uke from a co worker who had one too many ukeleles.
By the way I am from south east of Sweden.
