Gidday,
most ukes are pretty good,the cheaper ones tend to have cheap strings,
so best to replace them with good ones.
OR spend a bit more on a med price uke.
Also if you`re a beginner maybe get a concert or tenor size not a soprano.
get your self a tuner as well they are cheap no use playing an out of tune uke.
lets know how u get on?
A comment finally many thanks Dino
Yeah i think u right.
i only spend 5 minutes writing a song
so plenty of room for improvements.
But what comes out, i don`t question it
just jot it down,& wait for the next one
to appear.
can`t sing so no video!

Thought some one ought to make the effort to comment!
I like your work keep it up,please keep them coming.
I recently wrote one called `Original ` it`s about the
lack of originality,lots of guitar players
& writers just repeating the same old stuff.
also put one here called `Think` which is similar thing.
Some bands have very original names it attracts me to give them a listen.
thanks for your comment dino
i`ve writen 63 of these things over the last 2mths
put some here for people to critique,but very little feed back.
once again thanks for taking the time to comment
i note other peoples songs and poems get feedback maybe mine are crap.
I`m rich and famous
though i haven`t done a thing
haven`t invented any thing
but i`ve invented me
haven`t discovered any thing
but i`ve discovered me
did an ad on TV
that`s where you`ve seen me
we`re living in the cult of personality
famous for being famous
been in woman`s weekly
smiling for all to see
the brain dead public
can`t get enough of me
famous for nothing
famous for being me
Am Dm
Woke up this morning
Am Dm
Looked at the sky
G G
Was a sunny day
C C7
Thought to myself
Am Dm
Good weather for a strum
G Dm
Great this is banjo weather
Woke up next morning
rain from the sky
thought to myself
good weather for a strum
great this is banjo weather
woke up inthe morning
cloudy windy or sun
blizzard hurricane or snow
thought to myself(you guessed it)
good weather for a stum
great this is banjo weather (repeat)
Think about the good times
think about the bad
think about the happy times
think about sad
don`t walk around with you head in the clouds
taking everything as it is
THINK
think about the right
think about the wrong
think about reading
think about song
between your ears you have a brain
probably rusted up
use it exercise it
don`t be so bloody lazy
THINK
Don`t accept things as they are
question every thing
you`re being led down the garden path
question everything
THINK!
Mine is nothing to do with beat or music it`s just plain true.
my other passions are playing tennis and dabbling in all sorts of sports
which i`m not much good at, hence `Easybeat`
arkady
have dropped you a wee song as reply.
Gidday.
some of my stuff gets bumped over to poems
i spoke to two well known writers about songs/poems
the disagreed on what a song is.
any how.
`Song Or Not`
Is art art
or some thing else
it`s only one mans view
what may look good to me
may not look good to you
is a poem a poem
or a song
it`s only one mans view
what sounds good to me
may not sound good to you
does a song need music
or does it need chords
even one or two
when i write it
it says song
even with out chords
cause i wrote it
i should know
but it`s only one mans view
Gidday,
Been told to put my stuff in poems,but i hear them as songs.
can`t chord them as songs /ideas are comin` so fast & often
6 this morning alone,heres a wee ditty though.sorry if these are bugging you
but i can`t seem to move to next one till i`ve dumped my current one.
Kinda Am ---Dm
`Banjo Player`
Got myself a banjo
Not to everyones taste
Haven`t got any talent
So plenty of time to waste
You think my banjo playings bad
You haven`t heard me sing
Wifes locked up my banjo
Can`t stand it that `bloody thing`
It`s doing her head in
So gonna take up the bag pipes instead
I see Grah1 put up a song `Tight`really liked it.
here`s my take on tight.
`The BBQ`
You can`t call me tight
although i did save 10 bucks
by not getting my gas bottle checked
invited friends round for a BBQ
quite a few came
with bottles of beer and smiles on their face
this is where i`m a disgrace
after first course of sausages
and second course of sausages
you can`t call me tight
the gas bottle gave out
a little spark ignited it
and all hell broke loose
best friend got impaled by a lamp chop
my wife knocked out by a spud
neighbour concussed by flying lettuce
his daughter got a broken wine glass
the rest survived but won`t return
the moral of this story
eat as many free sausages as you can because
you never know what the future may hold
ps merry xmas (and hey take it easy out there)
Gidday
Been told to put my stuff under poem forum,they r songs but to busy to add chords here.
not that anyone would play my stuff,it`s just some ramblings,anyhow here goes! bare my soul in public.
`Santa or Jesus`
Is santa more popular than jesus at Christmas
you know some times i think
in this modern time
that more people believe in santa
than believe in jesus
it`s such a strange thing
that it turns out this way
thinking about santa not jesus
on Christmas day
think this just goes to show
what a sick society
we`ve become
consumerism instead of faith
is santa more popular than jesus
on Christmas day.
I`m not really a christian either,but it is a plain fact!
christmas is about the birth of christ.
Gidday jets 60
yeah i`ve got chords to go with but my typing very s l o w
consider myself told off. i`m just giving it a go for the first time,
not like you top guns
Reason For The Season
You know we often forget
the reason for the season
it comes around every year
and many people think of different things
large screen tvs And shiny accessories
of food and drink and christmas trees
of fun and sun and holidays
the reason for the season
it`s none of these things
it`s all about the birth of christ.
Gidday,
Yeah i just bought a banjotar,having a real blast with it.
a few songs that haven`t worked for me on guitar,are working out really good on banjo.
Rock on. B
Refer` yesterday was a long night` on songwriting forum
this is a half a days effort,wrote 4 of these in one day HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And still they come
Yesterday was a long night
The drinking of beer is so good for you
don`t stop at one at least have a few
Liquid brown bubbles rise to the top
So good so good you don`t want to stop
Chorus
have a beer have a beer
and fall on your arse
it`s better for you than
smoking the grass
Don`t drink too much
or you`ll be snoring in bed
wake in the morn an aching head
Solve this by taking a pill
drink it down with a beer don`t spill
chorus
`The booze song`
I like to drink (repeat 3)
Vodka on my cornflakes
Bourbon with my toast
Whisky with water
Beer with a roast
I like to drink (3)
Some say i`m an alchie
But this ain`t correct
All this drinking
Having very little effect
I like to drink 3
Red with my pasta
White wine with my fish
Brandy on my coco pops
It really is delish
I like to drink.
This came to me after listening to the pogues NOTE Have used poetic license
Gidday,
I`ve some questions for you song writers.
i don`t think that i`m a song writer,but the strangest thing has been happening to me.
In this part of the world Xmas is in summer,but we still seem to sing the trad songs about snow ect
So i asked our uke group to write a New Zealand xmas song,they where horrified at the thought.
any how to carry on the story Next day (don`t think i had a head injury or anything during the night)
i wrote my first song, then my second, then my third, then my forth, then my fifth. all this in 1 hour.
Since then they are just pouring out of me,don`t know from where they come?
They are just there,i write it down, it`s all done super quick!
Put chords to a few so far, but having trouble keeping up.
Is this the way it works for you? how do you write a song? do they come quick & complete?
look forward to your comments. B..
Up to 76 songs/poems now. this is 2mths effort,don`t know where it`s coming from but it`s
a great trip. two things i have noticed though,only come when @ work,and i`ve been listening
to classical music radio station. Go Figure?
Martin Performing Artist Series
cutaway w/ fishman
GPCPA4
Maton & martin both nice guitars,the Maton i had my eye on
was a custom shop so just little bit special.
Only had cash in house as i was sooooo close to buying,no burgs in my
area for 19years. Go figure!
Gidday,
Just took delivery of my new Martin guitar today.
having a lot of fun with it.
two months ago i saw a Maton guitar for sale (custom Shop)
it had been in the shop for 3 yrs & hadn`t sold
so they discounted it from $5000 to $3500
I`d dropped by & played it a few times over the years,couldn`t believe my luck.
I`d saved $3000 toward it & was 2 days from buying it,when i got burgled!
Needless to say the cash was GONE! I was gutted!
Any how got a Martin today as treat for me.
Sad story Happy ending.
