Ukuleles are great music makers! More finger-friendly than guitar (soft nylon strings), and the small size makes them comfortable to play and carry around.
They’re also a great way to ease into guitar. Your strumming and picking skills will transfer straight over. Chord shapes, too- you’ll just need to learn new chord names.
This short video shows you how friendly this instrument can be. Learn a popular fingerstyle pattern -Travis picking- on ukulele. You’ll get lots of mileage from just that one pattern. Have fun!
