get a baby taylor, capo on about the 5th fret, install a passive pickup and you've got a ukulele sound.

Even though this guy looks like Duckaholic...he is not. He is, in fact, one of the best guitar players i have ever seen. When you can play like this...Nothing else matters

I play the Ukulele Ace. Not hard to learn. Just make sure you get a pretty good one because the cheap ones will not stay in tune. I have 4.

Well, that just ticks me off! How the crap does he do that with those sausages! Mine are pretty thick but nothing like his and I have a time finger picking or hammering just one string at a time.

People that don't play guitar always look at guys just strumming and want to do that. There is nothing wrong with that. I was just putting an example of a dude that has Amazing Talent. Out of this world Talent. That's what all guitar players should shoot for. I saw this Guy in Jackson, he plays for Taylor guitars..to show you what they can do...not that anyone CAN actually do this..He was amazing. I saw him do stuff with his guitar that CAN'T be done...Still don't know how he does it. Amazing to me

That's pretty cool. I took 4 Violin lesson before I decided the world would be better off without me learning that art. Very hard to learn how to play a violin.
