Thanks for sharing these great tips Judy about Linkedin and how imrptoant our profiles are. Very interesting research on the verbiage women use vs. men. Never realized this so I will be revisiting my profiles to be sure to start including those agentic words![]

We just returned from viatacon in Hawaii and we bought a Ukulele for our souvenir. Little did I know that my husband and I would start fighting over who gets to practice the four chords next. I have always played around on the piano. Both daily for two weeks, we have shared the Ukulele and done our chord practice.We would like to learn Simple Songs to start with. Like Twinkle Twinkle (haha) put with print outs like regular music with the song written out and the chord above the change areas. I am not sure I am making sense. But, we would like to print and practice inbetween your lessons.Keep it up and we hope if we both get high way decent to order an extra ukulele.

Hey Amos,People usually tune down for a few roenass. They're either looking to make the strings easier to bend, to fatten up their sound, or to make the songs lower and more easily singable. I use and tune down to Eb for all three of the above roenass. Your friend probably went to 13 s to keep the same feel as the 11 s with the now decreased tension. Also, the bigger the stings you use the more metal thats over the pickup, the bigger the sound, which is noticeable. I don't recommend going that heavy unless you work up to it- I used to play 13 s tuned down and it was much, much harder than playing a set of 10 s( ) in standard tuning. Those are the pros. The biggest con is every time you go to play with someone else and tell them you're tuned down they'll look at you like you just shot Oprah. However, if you have a good grasp of barre chords, flat keys and or a capo (I use a ) you can probably get away without telling anyone! As far as the bass on your amp goes, it will make your sound a little darker, but it won't do anything to the feel of the guitar.Standard Tuning has only been the standard for 50 or 60 years- there are tons of tunings out there, and a half step down is one of the most popular. I say try it!Play on!
