Youtube has a ton of reviews and lessons. Justin Guitar is a good starting point.

I got one of these a few years ago and really like it. I still can't play a song, but I really like the uke!

I got a fender ukelele to learn on. I like it.

My daughter bought this one I was very impressed for the price.

I started playing a few years ago and started with the Luna- concert size - Ukes come in different sizes and concert seemed the easiest for me to get learn on. Progressed to a hand made Koa Peleke from Hawaii - move over IZ.. :-)


Good luck and it is a super easy instrument to learn and play - some keys only involve 1 finger.


Enjoy :-)

My seven-year old has (and therefore I have) a plastic one. It's not terrible. Her classroom has 30 of them, so I can't imagine they cost more than $20 or so. My daughter has let slip that I won't need to use hers any longer after Christmas, so I've got that going for me. ;-)

I've heard it said that the best way to learn is to try and cover songs. Thus far, it's worked quite well for me. I decided that I'd learn this one song down pat and I've done so, and it forced me to learn the most common chords, as well as forced me to learn different strumming techniques.

As to chords, I'd suggest mastering C, G7, and F. learn to change seamlessly from one to the next (it's just practice and developing muscle memory). Expand from there.

I'd suggest using the standard (at least I think it's standard) GCEA tuning. Just remember the mnemonic Good Cows Eat Apples.

Buy an inexpensive tuner, or maybe explore a tuner app on your phone (assuming you're a smart phone user). I haven't used a tuner app so I don't know how effective they are.

War is god

I have a $120 one from Amazon and a $75 one. I notice a difference in quality. The $120 one has a better sound, and a thicker neck, and for my hand feels better. Both need good quality strings regardless.

this is the better of the two IMO
