Is it easier to learn to play the ukulele than learning to play a guitar?

Question

Can you play? What were your first impressions of the instrument?

Answer 1

Yes...

Answer 2

Lili,

Yes, far easier.  It only has four strings, so much easier for chording b/c you don't have to stretch your fingers as far for barred chords.  Get yourself an inexpensive Lanakai and try it.  http://www.musiciansfriend.com/navigatio...

And if you want it to sound more like a guitar you can buy yourself a tenor (The bigger Lanakai for about $100.  A soprano will run you about $50.) and change the fourth string (high G) to a low G.
