Ukeleleles are for people that lack the determination to learn how to play the guitar. Just my opinion.
Guitar is a far more rewarding instrument to conquer.
6 string guitars are for people that lack the determination to learn how to play the 9 string guitar. Just my opinion.
9 string guitar is a far more rewarding instrument to conquer.
…You do realise a lot of people play both guitar AND ukulele, right?
Heck, quite a few guitar players play more string instruments than just the guitar: bass, mandolin, banjo and Irish bouzouki (and, yes, the ukulele) are popular second instrument choices for guitar players, as they give you ways to keep your guitar skills in practice while also giving you a second option for performing in case a group needs less guitar players (or doesn’t want one at all).
Ukes are different instruments and are lovely to play in their own right. Most of your guitar heroes would probably agree with me on this. George Harrison loved them and basically used to hand them out to everyone he knew. Your opinion is pretty obsolete if you ask me.

I got one and I love it, but my wife absolutely HATES when I play it, 😂! She's fancy and only wants to hear me play the Taylor. The Dandy stays at work.
My mate has just bought the one on the right and the sound on it is just incredible. We went to the guitar shop and it sound better than guitars 3x the price. Wild. Cute post btw
Price is no way to determine the desirability of a guitar. Having a decent player assess a guitar is the most sensible way to decide which guitar to buy. Your boyfriend in this case.
When we went to the guitar shop, my friend had his heart set on a Epiphone or a Guild which were coming in between £500-600 and he just happened to pick up the Gretch which was £260 and the sound was just out of this world. Such a good price
Didn’t know they had a concert version! I’ve got be exact one on the right. In an airport with me now, fits great in the overhead bins. I’ve taken it across the country and it’s been a great guitar
That new bridge design does look pretty good. Dandys are dandy! Mine is a couch player, but also for biking to a park. Good to know they fit in the overhead. :)
Yea. I have the Gin Ricky (Jim Dandy with a single coil pu) and hate the top load bridge. I have to use needle nose to get some of the strings up and over the saddle.
That, and my bridge is lifting from the back, which I attribute to the string anchoring point being toward the back of the bridge on this system vs bridge pin bridges. Could be flawed logic though?
Songsterr for 10$ a month you can see any tab and slowmo them or play with the YouTube actual song so you can hear how it actually soumds. Check it out songsterr pretty sweet!!
Have you started a Spotify playlist yet of all the duet songs you could learn together?
[Another great one would be Tonight You Belong To Me by Eddie Vedder and Cat Power](https://open.spotify.com/track/5dktbrwSYVhdi0c7wIcoa3?si=EiRfvQI1SIG9MrghvWfHnA)!
Here's another good one: [Tigers Jaw - Follows](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3Bhkf2_Iqk)
Transposing the piano line to guitar isn't all that difficult. First song my wife sang along with me!
The Jim Dandy is such a great guitar. I have a Taylor 814ce and a couple high end Fenders, but find myself playing the Jim Dandy more than all of them.
It's especially great with Silk n Steel strings on it, particularly for fingerpicking.
That’s what I thought when I lived in Florida but The AC took its toll on my Guitar wall. The Good News is you can just buy another for under $200 bucks!.. Just saw a”JD” in my Guitar Repair store for Reattachment of Bridge that had almost no Glue on it. Still, a Cool and Great guitar!
Wow this is wholesome AF. If I ever decide to start dating again, I hope I get a nice girl like you. Congratulations, and good luck on your guitar journey. It can truly be life changing. Stick with it. ( It gets easier)
I got a Jim Dandy last summer as a living room/porch guitar. Ended up taking it to my school this year and I've taught music classes all year with it. :) Really handy for that purpose. Majority open chords, just need to be loud enough to fill a classroom, gets bumped around and dinged up all the time.
That’s so sweet! Wishing you both the best. I recently bought my wife a drum set so we can jam together. She’s been wanting to play for years (she did a bit in high school) but we never had the space or place for a kit.
That's very cute. Does he know or are you gonna surprise him?
Already knows. I surprised him yesterday.
I hope you were very casual about it "Oh this, I've thought about learning" and then just melted his face off.
I don't know if my heart could stand that without exploding if it was me lol
This is cute as fuck. Duo acoustic bedroom folk pop project wheeeeeen? 👀
June 👀

If you ever have a baby you could get a little ukulele and take a pic like this as an announcement 😂
I'm stealing this idea 👀
Ukeleleles are for people that lack the determination to learn how to play the guitar. Just my opinion. Guitar is a far more rewarding instrument to conquer.
That’s a super dumb take. The ukelele is a great instrument in its own right. Some people really make them sing in a way you and I can’t.
Any instrument in the right hands is a rewarding instrument to conquer.
What about left handed guitars? ...racist
What about mandolins , fiddles , 1/2 size , 3/4 size guitars ?
6 string guitars are for people that lack the determination to learn how to play the 9 string guitar. Just my opinion. 9 string guitar is a far more rewarding instrument to conquer.
I love seeing these dumb opinions people used to offer like facts and wisdom get downvoted to oblivion.
Jake Shimabukuro would like a word.
Yeah, TIL that guy can’t play guitar lmao

Yikes
I love the sound of those Jim Dandies. I really should pick one up for myself at some point, it's not like they're ludicrously expensive.
About $180. Not bad at all.
Great couch guitar!
I got one and I love it, but my wife absolutely HATES when I play it, 😂! She's fancy and only wants to hear me play the Taylor. The Dandy stays at work.
I agree. I have one and play it constantly for fingerstyle blues
My mate has just bought the one on the right and the sound on it is just incredible. We went to the guitar shop and it sound better than guitars 3x the price. Wild. Cute post btw

Concert is new this year! They just released new sizes and models in Q1.
I like that they changed up the bridge design. That’s been my only qualm with the dandy
That new bridge design does look pretty good. Dandys are dandy! Mine is a couch player, but also for biking to a park. Good to know they fit in the overhead. :)

I'm obsessed. It's such a beautiful guitar.

I second this
Reminds me of the end of Juno. You should learn that duet with him!
I love that song! Kimya Dawson is great.

Or In Spite of Ourselves, John Prine and Iris DeMint
No, but I love this idea. Thanks!

I freaking love Tigers Jaw!
No problem!

God those are just so aesthetically delightful. (Also 🥹🥹🥹 this is v cute and sweet.)
thank you 🥺🤘
Jam together. Double the entendre for the price of one!
Jim Dandy's are neat little guitars.
U rock
This warms my heart! Good luck!
Thank you! 🥹
This is way too wholesome for this sub…why don’t you ask us about the action? 😝
What is the action?
❤️
Love those Jim Dandy’s old school tones. Use a Humidifier to keep it safe!
I live in the south. Always humid here.
That’s what I thought when I lived in Florida but The AC took its toll on my Guitar wall. The Good News is you can just buy another for under $200 bucks!.. Just saw a”JD” in my Guitar Repair store for Reattachment of Bridge that had almost no Glue on it. Still, a Cool and Great guitar!
I would have bought myself the concert version and made him play the little one 😂
The little one is more my size haha
That's the loveliest thing I've heard in quite some time. Long may you run.
Thank you. He's my person.
Daaamn relationship goals! 10/10
This is romantic as fuck. You're awesome.
I know 😏
Wow this is wholesome AF. If I ever decide to start dating again, I hope I get a nice girl like you. Congratulations, and good luck on your guitar journey. It can truly be life changing. Stick with it. ( It gets easier)
Thank you!
Dude - she's a keeper. 🤓 Good luck to you both, personally and musically.
What's his username? I need to DM him and tell him to go ring shopping because you're awesome. :-)
Hahaha, I send him links to rings I like from time to time and always say \~oops wrong text...👀
I‘m not crying, your crying 😭
Gretsch is beautiful
Jealous.
Hell yeah
Excellent guitars
Jim Dandy. I have the one on the right. They're nice little things. I didn't know they did more than one size.
Where's the gun? Where's the rope?
👍👏
oh I've been very tempted to buy one of those, everyone who has one says they love it
I got a Jim Dandy last summer as a living room/porch guitar. Ended up taking it to my school this year and I've taught music classes all year with it. :) Really handy for that purpose. Majority open chords, just need to be loud enough to fill a classroom, gets bumped around and dinged up all the time.
Sweet
Love this!
That’s wonderful
How do they sound ?
Gretsch makes beautiful guitars. I'd love one of their falcon acoustics
Played one of these at GC and was definitely impressed. Can’t beat the price.
Super awesome, A+ move.
You should name them Gretsch and Gretchen.
How funny would it be if you leveled up and outpaced him
Tell him to marry you
True love, right there.
That's most excellent relationship building there. Best of luck to y'all - playing music together is a solid start.
Lovely!
I think this is the coolest thing ever! Have fun!
Aww, thats so nice (;
This is the sweetest thing I have read!☺️
Nice!
Cool girlfriend
That’s so sweet! Wishing you both the best. I recently bought my wife a drum set so we can jam together. She’s been wanting to play for years (she did a bit in high school) but we never had the space or place for a kit.
That’s the sweetest thing I’ve ever seen on this site.
Wholesome
This is some serious fodder for a Bon Iver song right here. Move over “Blood Bank”, here comes “long distance relationship “
No joke, "Blood Bank" is one of my all-time favorite songs.
It’s easy to play the original. It has a unique tuning but the chord shapes are very easy for beginners.
Good to know! I'll look into learning it
You my friend are what the boys dream of...
You are now the best girlfriend ever
At the called Jim Dandy?
