Ukulele

Ling says she wants to learn Ukulele for some time...
It's like a mini guitar with 4 strings instead of 6.

Wanted to surprise her with one but she seems uncertain...
Also, what if I got one which she didn't like? eg. colors and shape.

After the meetup with Wanyu and Janice after our Hard Rock stay, she wanted to go see an ukulele shop.

We went, we looked, she likes,
and I bought it for her...

Learned the guitar while in prison.
Bought myself an electric one upon release.

Had fun with it playing alone in my room mostly.
Until an accident at work which got my left hand's fingertip sliced off.
Unable to play for months...

Sold my Fender Stratocaster and Marshall amp to another deserving guitarist.

That was many years ago...

Now... the Ukulele...

Ling says it sounds cheerful and wants to learn and play for me.

The chords are different from guitar's, the frets are smaller and it's rather difficult to hold the small instrument.

Nonetheless, I think I will have less difficulty learning it compared to Ling.

We shall see...
