Informative Post about how the Ukulele Works?

2019-02-06T16:04:51Z

I'm not a strings player, so learning how to play the ukulele (at least at a basic level) has been a bit of a baffling experience for me. Wait? that's how that works? that's why? what? that's what the different things do? those things are called "frets"? what?

Would anyone be interested in a short post about how the thing works?

1. I've found it really cool figuring some of this stuff out
2. I think that you guys might find that cool too
3. I also think that creating a post would probably be the best way for me to gather my thoughts so I can better explain how it works to other people tbh

so I heard Copacabana at Walmart today and that's going to be stuck in my head until the day that I die now.

Also, I love Copacabana with all my dramatic heart but I almost wish that there wasn't a verse that detailed who shot who and what happened to Lola. How GREAT would it have been if it went from

There was blood and a single gunshot
But who shot who? ---

to "don't fall in love baaaaa
down at the coppppaaaa

don't fall in love"

like knowing that it was in fact The Love Interest TM that died and Lola is sad and lonely works fine (and the "in that dress she used to wear, faded feathers in her hair" is a pretty great line) but. leaving it ambiguous would have been pretty cool too. just a foreboding "don't fall in love" at the end.

who died? tony? rico? lola? we don't know! but everyone is miserable and someone's in jail probably

dont' fall in love (baaaaa) down at the coppppaaaaa
