Peer pressure comes in various shapes and forms. Luckily, my amigos are healthily urging me to purchase a ukulele. Not the worst peer pressure. But certainly the most time consuming. If you're like me and are sick of playing a broken mac-arena while your friends are playing the guitar, I advise you to keep reading.
Jam sessions are a blast for friends to have the chance to connect on a different plateau of conversation. Jam's can consume hours of your Sunday in your friends shed or garage and lord help you if someone forgot deodorant. Where my friends jam out to music is no garage; better yet it's a shak. Here two coffee tables are swooned by two uniquely comfy couches and numerous wall artwork that consumes the atmosphere. String lights, lamps, and album artwork drip all over the place creating a calming ambiance. So while my friends are jamming their brains out and dripping guitar playing sweat, I made a quick list of why my next purchase is going to be a ukulele. 1. It's cool. Who doesn't love a portable anything? The ukulele can be better than a radio when on a long drive (in the passenger seat of course). With four strings, I've been reassured by my sweaty guitar playing friends it will be much easier than the guitar itself. 2. Portable as heck. Like I said, passenger seat jams. Bring it to the beach, friends campfire, or even in an elevator. 3. Free lessons. My amigo who lives a stone's throw away offered to teach me the reigns of the instrument. 4. I can contribute to the conversation of chords. Another language for me to tap into would be ideal. Not to mention, the great world I could finally be able to understand and be apart of. 5. Something new I can learn and grow from. Like any good thing in this world, a lesson is always there. You just have to be intelligent enough to tap into this yearning to know more and grow from the actions that have been taken. Sold. For now, I'm saving up my money. But as soon as I have $100 to spend, you bet your white hairy ass I'm buying a Luna from Guitar Center. My soon to be callused fingers will be crying tears of joy. http://ukulelehunt.com/2009/06/10/10-things-i-wish-id-known-about-ukuleles-before-i-bought-one/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRHD8ohQjy0
