My guitar was too hard to learn on. I took it the Thin Man music store in Alameda and the dude there to restring it with lightweight strings and lower the action for me. I also bought this beautiful tenor ukulele for $75 because I figure that will also be much much easier to learn on. I practiced a bunch of chords this afternoon and the fingers on my left hand have that gonna-be-calluses feeling.
I’ll snap and post a picture of the uke soon. Looks like I’ll be out of town (in New Orleans) during the Ukulele Festival in Hayward on April 25.
