play the ukulele

Well, after I finished my revision last night I decided to get out my ukulele again and play some Death Cab For Cutie songs. Well. Chords. I just took the guitar chords for I Will Follow You Into The Dark, Talking Bird, and Marching Bands of Manhattan. I still sound like an amateur… But I guess that’s ok, because I still am one ^^

I played ‘Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots’ by the Flaming Lips today. I printed out the chord sheets the day I got my ukulele, which was Christmas, 2007. It made me realise that I really need to practise more, but also how worthwhile playing ukulele is! It’s a nice change from playing cello all the time… cos I’m working towards grade 7 on cello, I feel so much pressure about it… But with ukulele, I can just play whatever songs I want!

Well, I just looked up some new songs to play. Got ‘I Will Follow You Into the Dark’ by Death Cab for Cutie, but I’m not sure that I want to play it because it’s a beautiful song and… I don’t want to ruin it!

I’ve had my ukulele for a year now, and I really haven’t played it enough. I need to find more songs I want to play.
