Getting to Know You

The biggest problem with teaching myself an instrument is, if I don't have a drive to play or something to draw inspiration from, I fizzle out and may not pick up my ukulele for between a day to a month. The past few weeks I haven't so much as seen my ukulele, much less play it. I ended my stint today with an 3 hour practice session. While I was at school, I felt a sudden, strong urge to figure stuff out on my ukulele, so when I finally returned home after the long day at school, I tore it out of its cloth case. I learned, practiced, and sang various songs. Some I already new the chords for and not the lyrics, other I new the lyrics for and not the chords. It does not matter what exactly I did in the span of my playing session, rather what mattered was it was what I desired to do at the time and I played my heart out during it. I made no recording of my practice session, as it was just that, practice. I was not performing music. I was organically moving from one piece to the next in no particular order, playing half of one song and then starting another. There isn't any specific technique I practiced, I simply experimented with the instrument and got to know it a little more personally than before.
