Ukulele master!

[waruikazi]

I bought myself a ukulele for Christmas, just for giggles and i've never played an instrument before so i wanted to give it ago. So i sat down today to and looked up some tabes on the internet and in about 5 hours i've managed to smash out 2 songs!

I wish i did this years ago, i might have actually gotten good at it.

Phwoooah! The banjo?! Banjos are awesome! I was thinking about buying one of those mini banjos, i don't know what they are called but they look pretty deadly.


I would love to play the banjo but it looks pretty tricky lol. Imagine sitting on your porch in a rocking chair playing dueling banjos... Oh yeah that's where it's at!

Well everyone needs some kind of an aspiration in life, something to motivate them to move forward. Who are we to judge you on what direction you take your own meandering existance? I hope you acheive your goal, and if you do i have a shotty you can have a loan of.
