Melbcat was following with her head and eyes while I scrabbled my hand back and forth! Staring and locked on. She can definitely see from a few meters away now.
She’s getting grumpy because I’m tuning the ukulele and she hates the sound. I tuned it the usual way but might see if I can change it to D tuning just to know how.
(I wish I had the money and commitment for a different instrument but this is purely for occasionally messing around with before giving up again. This is the best option for my budget and space!)
D tuning is fun.
You could also potentially get a capo? Kind of makes it tricky though with such a small number of frets, but I used to spend hours playing with a ukulele sized capo. Wouldn't recommend getting a guitar sized one because it makes playing chords hard. I think I got one for around $5 from ebay.
Another cool thing to do is doing a 'duet' with another instrument. You can play chords and go onto YouTube and find a video of someone playing a different part of the song on a different instrument.
Possibilities are endless. Even if it doesn't seem like it :)
Ah I might not spend any further money on it but thanks :)
I am very lazy and filling time while resting
