It's been over a year since I last posted. I totally forgot about this blog. A lot has happened since then. I got married, I got a sweet job, etc., etc. However, I also just got a new uke for my birthday. It's sweet and it's got me excited about playing again. It's a Kala K-RES BRS, which is a tenor resonator uke. It's beautiful. It was $300, which may not be professional quality, but it's the most expensive uke I've ever owned. My first uke was a $100 concert, my second was a $200 baritone, my third was a $220 tenor, my fourth was a $250 concert, and this one is a $300 tenor resonator. I'm slowly moving upwards. I originally wanted to get another concert uke (my last one was stepped on and smashed), but this one caught my eye, and it sounded awesome, so I changed my mind.
It has a beautiful sound. I'm not used to how loud it is. I don't have to pluck as hard, which seems like a small difference, but I personally think I play better when I pluck softly than when I'm trying to pluck hard to make it louder. Also, the high notes are alot louder than they were on any other uke I've owned. Usually, I have to pluck the high notes extra hard to make them stand out against all the other notes I'm playing, but not with this uke. It's awesome. Plus, it looks great. It's the prettiest uke I've ever owned.
After I got it, I wanted to learn something new, so I downloaded the tab for In My Life by the Beatles from dominator's website. It's coming along. I like it alot. Thank goodness for Dominator. In my opinion, his site is the place to go for good uke tabs.
Thanks for reading,

PS - I finished the Classical Gas tab, but it needs alot of polish before I'd feel comfortable putting it up on the net.
