I bought a ukulele last winter. I've never played an instrument before, figured I'd never get very serious about it, and the ukelele would be a fun one to learn ;D 4 strings instead of the 5 on a guitar, and small enough to take anywhere ;D
Well that lasted a couple weeks, I could never figure out how to tune it right. I'd think I'd be close, play the cd/youtube instructionals and it wouldn't sound right. It gained a spot in my closet, I gave up...
Now that it's starting to chill off again, I started to think about that ukulele again. Did some digging and found out that there is something called an "electronic tuner"
You clip it to the top, pull the string, and it tells you what note you're at and how far you're off. And they only cost about $10, I HAD TO GET ONE!
Well it got here yesterday, and I had the ukulele tuned in about 2 minutes In two weeks I couldn't get it close, in 2 minutes it was solved!!! 
So now I'm learning how to pick "Wipeout" to start somewhere -

My wife going nuts
but my parrot Tarzan LOVES MY UKULELE!!! ;D
...I'll get better, I'm working on it
Can anyone else play anything?
