Engrish Ukulele lessons: “Sing Loudly”

Filed under: — Jeremy Clarke @ 6:40 pm - Mar 19, 2005

the ukulele
Seeking internet help with my new instrument I found this friendly and adorably Japanese online lesson. It’s loaded with both usefull tips and eastern-style positive thinking.

If your family and friends’ faces turn bitter, you don’t have to worry. If you are a poor player, just back up slowly and fade away…
When you begin, nobody will come to hear you play, unless you are Eric Clapton, which would be an exception…
Ukulele is the miracle music instrument.The ukulele sound won’t interrupt the talking of business or the whisper of lovers.

Remember:

  • Difficult chords can be changed to easy chords.
  • If you can’t play a part, you can skip it. (see Chapter 6)
  • Sing loudly

I am so ready.
