Umm, well, if all the strings you've got are on a ukelele, you'd best get used to just playing chords, and, umm, the progression for the chorus of the Beach Boys' "Fun, fun, fun" is Eb, Gm, Ab, Bb, E

I would generally concur with that assessment, since this sort of thing is not rocket science. The degree of difficulty only depends upon how much of the stud is left. If it's broken off flush with t

The guy's mechanics are as atrocious as the writing. :) The carburetors don't sit on top of the manifold--they're on the end of it. None of the Spits came with dual Strombergs. The damper knobs don't
