My mother-in-law, who sadly passed away a year ago, decided to start a family ukulele orchestra, so my wife, her sister & brother-in-law, their kids (my niece and nephew), and I all bought ukuleles.

We would play the same 3 or 4 chord songs over and over for half an hour til everyone fell apart laughing at our ineptitude. They had fun.

I took to the ukulele like wildfire. I annoyed the heck out of them by endlessly trying to work out "Born to Be Wild" and "Gentle on My Mind" as solo ukulele pieces. Yes, I saw Jake Shimabukuro live a few times (once, jamming with Joe Craven and Futureman)

So, I understand the major scale and I, IV, V, etc., not much beyond that. Most guitar chords aren't hard, it's just a matter of repetition getting my hands to memorize them. Getting clean, expressive single notes, on the other hand...

My plan is to play like BB King, Bonnie Raitt, Duane Allman, Lowell George, Albert Lee, Robben Ford, Danny Gatton. I suppose I might glean something from Eric Clapton along the way, too.

Whatcha figure, a year or two? smile
