Hey Zack,
I guess one of the bummers of having the kind of chops that you have at your age is that there aren't too many others around with anywhere near those chops. It's a blessing and a curse I guess.
I learned to play guitar with my high school buddies. The common denominator was that we all sucked, but it was fun, and we liked hanging out.
Hope you find some folks to jam with.
Hey Darin, it's not that I'm looking for someone at my level to play with, it's just I'm looking for someone to play with period. I don't think it matters how good someone is as long as they want to have fun and maybe even learn. I like hanging out with Uncle Duke, Danny Carvalho, Peter Moon Jr etc. cuz not only are they good, but I can learn stuff from them that I might not have been able to do so by myself either because it's too hard or I didn't have the song to listen to. I just like hanging out with other people that play Hawaiian music because 1. its a common interest and 2. it's just fun |

Ok I don't know if it's just me, but it seems like not many kids around my age like Hawaiian music. I just would like confirmation if that's true, or if I need to get out of the house more. If it is true, why do you guyz think its that way?
I know I often see kids walking to and form school playing `ukulele - anything from traditional Hawaiian to Jawaiian to classic rock to metal to . . . .

For several years, I attended an open mike every Wednesday at a coffee shop near home. Many weeks, there would only be a few of us there, and we spent the evening jamming, rather than taking turns. The host for the last 4-5 years was a blues/rock fanatic, but by the time the open mike was terminated, my folk/country leanings were invading his playing and even his song writing. One other participant was a harmonica-playing jazz fan. He got us listening to, and playing, stuff by such as Miles Davis. Jam with whomever, always keep an open mind to other styles of music. Those around you who truly love music will listen and embrace what you bring to the mix. It may not become a main focus of their playing, but it may open their mind to other styles, and help remind folks of the music they have chosen not to follow, but have heard all their lives.
