Daily Ukulele: Cartoonlele

Via Ukulele Brasil, a pretty darling cartoon that needs no translation (but I'll try and provide one anyway):

Cartoonlele


It's been yonks and yonks since I was any good at French, and the following is from Google Translate from the Portuguese, which has already been translated once, so... all things considered, this could be a lot more game-of-telephone-y!
Yeah, I finally got what I needed to become a true artist as Sfar, Boulet and others ... the essential and indispensable ukulele!
Firstly, it seems to have big fingers and the houses are too small scale.
Actually, it's like playing guitar with boxing gloves.
But the cool thing is that from the first chord, we are transported directly to Hawaii ... first class.
Then try trying to quickly tap the repertoire of Nirvana as a teenager on his first guitar, but with a Hawaiian twist.

This is ridiculously charming.

It's kind of ridiculous how much this reflects my experience playing ukelele. /o\
