Question

can someone help me. i want to learn ukulele

Answer 1

A Uke is MUCH easier to learn than guitar. the trick is finding a quality instrument. there is a lot of infereior product out there. you might check out the Tribute concert for George Harrison DVD. You will want to play NOW.

Answer 2

Any ukelele sounds good. The tuning is the reverse of a guitar.  So, its not complicated to learn.

Probably one of the easiest instument on the market. It has nylong strings so their is no need for added pressure to make a note sound.

Answer 3

A ukulele is tuned exactly like the first four strings of a guitar.

     Soprano and concert sized ukes are tuned a 4th above guitars, but the relationship between the strings is exactly the same as guitar.

     A "D" chord shape on guitar is a "G" chord on uke, but the fingerings are the same.

     Basically, any thing you learn to play on a ukulele can be immediately transferred to a guitar's first 4 strings, remembering that if will be a different key.

Answer 4

Um_Player93,

Ukes are much easier than a regular guitar.  But basically the same.  You chord, you strum, you pick.   Get yourself a cheap, but good one, for starters.  (Try a lanikai.)  Then check out Youtube and you'll find lessons....or see if there isn't a local uke club around your area.  Lots of fun playing with others.
