Brief:   Hi, my name is Andrew. I won’t be around much until after Christmas though. I bought my first uke on Nov 1st 2011. In the Seventies I played the piano and oboe a lot, but I haven’t played any instrument since about 1983 (except for diatonic harmonica). So I bought a soprano uke, then I bought a tenor for the greater range, but the tenor seems really big, and I don’t know if concert is the right size for me. So I bought a guitar (Yamaha C40), which makes the tenor seem like a pocket uke (I mean it – the neck on that thing is like a railway sleeper!), and either it will help me get used to the tenor, or I can discover later if a concert is right for me. I’m interested in all styles of uke playing. At the moment I’m just learning chords and studying systems such as CAGED, CAGFD and ‘GDB’ (my name for the system in Sokolow and Beloff’s fretboard roadmap book) and practising the split strum. I might join a club, might not – I don’t want to get too bogged down in George Formby, much as I love him. I might buy a mandolin too. How did I start on uke? I don't know. I watched Formby's movies on TV in the 60s, but he didn't inspire me. about 5 years ago I was in a music shop buying harmonicas and I think I was plucking a uke's strings and became fascinated by the reentry aspect. Watched Shimabukuro on Youtube a year or two ago and he started me thinking, then recently there was a TV programme on George Formby and I saw Roy Smeck on Youtube and then I looked at ukes on Amazon and here I am (website seen in Ukulele for Dummies).
