Miss John Denver...well done!

[@michaelkibble740]

I live in West Virginia and it sounds good to me

[@cmcapps1963]

I love the diatonic frets! Looking for something for my daughter whos going on 3 years old. She loves daddy's guitar and banjo but not up to a ukulele yet. Might have to try to make a smaller version up an octave!

[@Fingtam]

Yes, this is a fantastic instrument for beginners

[@SethCartersMusic]

Sounds excellent!

[@Fingtam]

Thank you! :)

[@mariawang7527]

your background reminds me of fingtam languages! Nice playing too:)

[@MrTwostring]

Funny. I was just thinking the same thing. (My other channel is Esperanto Variety Show)

[@bearshield7138]

[@mariawang7527]

oh it is u!! right??? i checked the bookshelf books in your background 4-5 months ago

[@Fingtam]

Haha yeah, that’s me!

[@marvinthemaniac7698]

I'm trying to decide whether I want a Strumstick or an electric guitar for Christmas this year (2023).

[@marvinthemaniac7698]

@LaLotheenby they're expensive

[@orfeo793]

@@marvinthemaniac7698 they're cheap as hell compared to guitars lol

[@Fingtam]

Strum sticks are not as cheap as an entry-level ukulele, but they are very well made, and they are EXCELENT starter instruments if you haven’t learned anything else first. Guitars have a much steeper learning curve, which is why so many people start learning but eventually give up.

[@marvinthemaniac7698]

@Fingtam I got a guitar for my 7th birthday, but gave up on it after a year because of how complicated it was.

[@orfeo793]

​@@marvinthemaniac7698 you might as well get a baritone ukulele if you're still interested in getting into guitar but struggle with 6 strings. it's tuned the same as the highest 4 strings of the guitar

[@bilnjan]

G tuning ? or D ?

[@melaniegauvin3718]

[@FloridianBarit0ne]

[@-jank-willson]

[@Fingtam]

G (I always forget, so I just had to pull out my tuner and check! 😅)

[@ronliebermann]

That’s amazing.

[@Fingtam]

Thank you! It’s my favorite instrument!

[@USNAVDC]

DAD ?

[@georgebrown9994]

Sounds like my daddy playing his strumstick!!! 😂

[@Fingtam]

SON?!

[@jomjimison5637]

[@AndyRepin]

Is it in pentatonic?

[@Fingtam]

The frets are a diatonic scale, except that it also has a flat 7th

[@ohannesburger89]
