you're my inspiration!

i was very inspired today... to listen to a beatles song. you thought i was gonna say, "i was very inspired to write my thesis" right? ha!

anyway, i go to my now favourite haunt - that is, youtube (yes, i've been hiding under a rock - i'm writing my thesis remember?!)... and stumble on "while my guitar gently weeps". great song... but what was also amazing was this...



right now, i'm having trouble picking up my jaw from the floor...

so, now i'm contemplating learning the ukulele. cmon, how hard can it be? just ask google how to play :D ... so i did... heh.

anyway, i bump into a ukulele tutorial hosted on a japanese site. so i go along... it is hilarious (but educational which is good for someone reading...). it's like anime meets a music teacher. come to think of it, all my drumming teachers are comical characters. i love this quote:

"If you are still a poor player, you don't have to play. You are playing music not typwriting. Forget your fingering and song voice. The most important thing is to keep the rhythm and continue singing. This technique is very useful if you memorize only the first chords of some songs."

there's hope! anyway, it totally brightened up my day... until i realise i have a thesis to write.

ok, now i'm very inspired to write my thesis! (then learn how to play a ukulele :D)
