Lily's Ukulele

One Jam Session at a Time

If you ever get bored, put your Ukulele down. Grab a pen and paper and write a poem, maybe about being bored, maybe about school, maybe about design comforts.

Write write write - and then stop when you've closed your "scene." It might be three sentences or lines. They may not make any sense. But, you wrote something down - that's the goal.

Pick any two chords you feel comfortable playing; find a rhythm you like, it might be the easiest one for you. Give equal time to both chords, alternating between them.

Read [Think] the words you just wrote, while playing. If so inspired, change your reading to humming. If you dare, sing one of your words.
