Rough tings, I can play it better now since I wrote it that day, but I like it, if only I wasn't so awful at lyrics! Maybe I should ask Marina for advice on that...

Nice tune dude, I can imagine that as part of an indie movie soundtrack for some reason. It's pretty and it smells of hope.

But this thread has inspired me to learn to play it, and maybe swoon the ladies.

Thank you.

Do it man, what have you got to lose (except your dog)?

Btw, good tunes to learn to play if you can stretch your voice for them.

Oh! It is Love - Hellogoodbye
Trouble - Nevershoutnever
Talking Bird - Deathcab for cutie (uke version obviously )
Anything by the above three or Bruddah IZ

Hope it goes well

I used to have a cheap Rogue Ukulele. I took all the frets off of it though.

My grandma plays one and I have never really been interested. I am a guitar man through and through. Enjoyed some of the youtubes though.

I just listened to that episode. I liked him! I wish I could make funny songs off the cuff like that plus he was a pretty good player too. It sounded like he was using a pick, did anyone see? I eventually want to get both a tenor and a baritone uke (and a Tahitian, a fluke, and every other type ). I'm lazy and my internet is retarded, so does anyone also know what kind of uke he had?

His laugh is hilarious and his uke playing is more guitar strum styled than traditional ukelele.

I think he just said that it was a baritone uke

Yeah, I wanted to know the make if anyone could find it, nerd stuff *sluuurrp*

He did strum guitar style though, probably why he chose a baritone, since they are pretty close to the size of a parlor guitar.

Either way I liked him

Just if anyone was still strummin along

Everyone's seen Ukulele Weeps, but as someone who plays flamenco and ukulele this rends at my heartstrings.
