Hi everyone! I've been floating around these forums for a while, and decided to finally sign up!
Quick background on me...
Don't have any recent formal music training (aside from 1 year of band class in middle school many years ago), but I've always had a desire to be fluent with an instrument - enough so that I'd be able to pick it up and improvise something. Well, with the pandemic keeping me home, I bought myself a $50 Donner concert uke set (including case, tuner, strings, etc.) from Amazon in November of last year after watching the "La Vie En Rose" performance in the show "How I Met Your Mother".
Fast forward to today...
I have an aNueNue AMM3 and a (The) Rebel Double Creme Mango Tenor on the way to provide them a new cozy home. I was instantly hooked from the start, much more so than I could have imagined, and I'm constantly finding myself messing with notes and chords to create something new (only to later find it's a known chord progression or slightly modified version of something well known). There's an acronym I'd constantly see posted on these forums - UAS. Even before looking it up, I had self-diagnosed myself with it. Was really on the fence of whether or not to get a KTM-00 instead of one of the ones I got, but I think I've chosen well enough to satisfy my cravings for some time... hopefully... *crosses fingers*
Anyways, looking forward to contributing some and learning from all of you! Thanks all and have a great day!
