Ukulele Tip
If you play ukulele and guitar, then you probably already know this, but I just (finally) figured out a cool way I can practice ukulele when my ukulele is out of reach. It’s very simple, simply put a capo on the 5th fret of your guitar and play the four highest (D G B E) strings just as you would a ukulele:
Now you can play all your ukulele chord shapes easily. Like I said, most people probably already know this trick, but I’m a little slow and I was recently missing my ukulele (it’s in Venice right now) and all of the sudden an image flashed in my brain of the capo on the 5th fret, I tried it and it worked, I was back in business. The sound is not the same, it’s more like ukulele methadone, but it’s still pretty fun.

Hello my dear, I’m getting ready for our show at the House…
Hello my dear, I’m getting ready for our show at the House of Blues tonight. Putting new strings on Rickenbacker guitars is a pain in my derrière, but they have such a cool sound. I rarely ever play electric guitars, but I’m in the mood tonight to get a little distorted. It’s putting a new spin on the songs and it’s going to be fun. We also have some new musicians joining us, so I hope you recognize us when you see us. Just look out for this guitar, and we’ll be there. Oh wait, maybe my Les Paul would work better…
I hope to see you tonight!
