Gidday Pondie
I dabble with the uke a bit.
When playing with others i find 90% are soprano players.
Don`t know why everyone buys a soprano?
Yeah it sounds a whole lot better if you have a mix of ukes.
as for baritone,i can`t understand.why not play guitar instead.
Look forward to seeing more comments from you,i know there`s a lot of uke players on Chordie.

Topic: Calloused Hands (5 replies, posted in Poems)
Too lazy to put chords to this, but if you have an idea, i would love to hear it.
Calloused Hands
Lived in this house for many a year
But lately houses been sold
and houses been bought
New people moving in
Lived in an average house i always thought
In an average street
In an average town
They think different to me
They talk different to me
They have different aspirations in life
I`m the only one
with calloused hands
The only working class guy in our street
They shuffle paper for all of their day
End of the week collect good pay
I`m the only one
With calloused hands
The only working class guy in our street

Re: Finding my writing in a rut. (5 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Beestie
Pat yaself on the back,ya lyrics are always excellent
Strum pattern / tempo/ chords aren`t the answer.
U need to ask others for honest comments.
Reading your latest, i could hear how u were going to do it by the meter of the lyrics.
I think the problem is in your head,just need to change your thinking, not a lot though.
Peatle is right FEEL is very important!Uke players go on about strum, where feel is neglected.

Db sus
Like to keep it simple
E+## Dbbb dim sus4
Not trying to impress
Just use a few chords
That everybody knows
To play along , have some fun
And make a bit of noise
The lyrics i keep simple too
It would be expidicious of me
To conflagulate words that matter
Just to repositate you
Just an ordinary song!

Topic: Sex Or Guitar (18 replies, posted in Poems)
Gidday,i was thinking of a subject that might get comments from the Chordians
who don`t usually bother to make a comment.Needed a killer title to get their attention.
But my post turned into this a kinda poem/song thingy.This is a deep subject!Look forward to your replies.
Sex Or Guitar
Hey i always meant to ask you
Which one would it be
If ya had to give up
One or the other of these
Sex or guitars?
For some it may be easy
To answer this question
But to others not an easy choice
On the plus side
A guitar gets better with age
Can`t always say that for a woman(or Man)
They get out of tune pretty easily
So i`ll look forward to hearing your answer
But please keep it true
As for me you`re wondering?
At this stage i`m non commital
A question like this
Is far too hard for me
