Why does this instrument trigger you so much?
Why does this instrument trigger you so much?
its gay
everyone in high school passing period played it
because it sounds like shit regardless. If i were to describe its timbre i would describe it as a high pitched shitty acoustic guitar
>sounds shit
>takes no skill or talent
>fucking hipsters and art thots play it
>ruined by indie fags
Someone once said that generic ukulele music is the musical equivalent of comic sans
buy an acoustic guitar and a capo, place it on the 8th fret then play. congrats you have a ukelele
Out the way boys, the /superior/ instrument coming through.
>implying ukulelefags would even be able to play basic open chords on a 6-string guitar
>takes no skill or talent
I mean ... going by that logic neither does guitar. Also:
It's not that you can't become talented at ukelele, it's that the people who play them never bother learning anything more than a couple of chords that's annoying. It's the equivalent of the people who say they play guitar but can only play wonderwall.
yes we know Bill, can you go back to playing with your bluegrass buddies alright?
Fair enough. Kinda like recorders then (since you obviously can be proficient at them).
hOW DO I PLAY A 6 STRING GUITAR WHEN I ONLY HAVE 4 FINGERS?
Basically, I remember a person in my high school music class who's main instrument was recorder but she also sang and danced (even though she was always out of key and extremely fat). Everyone in the class hated her.
Jack Owen you mean.
I can respect good ukulele players in legit Hawaiian music, but I haven't heard it used in anything other than awful indie besides that. Also not a fan of the tuning of the instrument, and I just prefer the sound of a guitar.
I'm in a folk punk band, actually. Yes, I am vegan and thus consume plenty of soi-based products.

You better have a xemale vocalist or I'm reporting you for sexism
samefag here; here's an old school example of a good song centered around ukulele:
youtube.com
We do, actually! We have a "male" and a "female" vocalist. We also have a wonderful FEMOID accordionist.
I don't dislike the inherently - but they are ALWAYS out of tune and badly intonated, and almost always being played by some indie dickhead for unique points
oh great, I always like that people are diverting the norms in both FOLK and PUNK by including such beautiful instruments as ACCORDIONS, and being inclusive with femoids, thank you, whats your band name if i may ask my good xir?
if i only had a little pad
in hawaii
Hey now, don't get too hasty! Thank you for your interest, but I wouldn't want to dox myself now, would I? That wouldn't be a very good idea. I'm sure if you did some searches on the world wide web, you might be able to find us. Thanks again!
>Cause 13 year old girls/ non binary who sing whisper about their "heartbreak"
It's not an instrument it's a kid's toy
What’s non-binary?
its gay
>THAT'S ME IN THE CORNER
It's a term faggots use to describe themselves when they want attention.
Spring is coming DING DING DING

Probably one of the most embarrassing things I ever did was buying one in highschool because of adventure time and vessel by twentyone pilots
It's still pretty fun to play every now and then, but yikes
I've literally never heard a good ukelele
Literally just background music for animal videos
Glue trip - la edad del futuro. This is a cool psych rock song using ukulele to great effect. What do y'all think
better instrument coming through
It's an ethnic instrument very rarely used in that manner. Imagine a bunch of girls strumming a shamisen and producing the same exact ripoff of portishead over and over again
5th fret, retard
It's a very disposable instrument because of it's low cost and low barrier to entry, which is why so much shit gets produced using this instrument. Letting Portuguese immigrants into Hawaii was a mistake.
This really, you can't use a ukelele anymore without people assuming you're just gonna play a some quirky cover instead of genuine Hawaiian music. Luckily the balalaika is still safe
I've been thinking of buying a ukulele bass desu
yo user, just get one if you know what you´re doing. Acustic Bass sucks if you can´t really play it.
You use what's called "barre" technique, where one finger covers multiple strings.

Mandolins are kino.
Post some of your favourite mandolin tracks.
I really love the mandolin in the background of grateful deads friend of the devil
It's the most reddit instrument
Hard to pick just one Blind Melon song, but I've been on a Soup kick lately
Is there any great ukulele songs not by I'z?
I can't tell if this response is facetious or if you're just a colossal retard
