WHAT TO BUY TO GET STARTED

(IS THIS FUN, OR WHAT?)

The ukulele is one of the easiest instruments to learn to accompany one’s singing. Buy a uke (my recommendations for instruments in different price ranges are below) and a book, and just “do it yourself.” For guitarists of any ability, if you know a couple of chords, you can quickly progress to playing chords on the ukulele that you could only dream about on the guitar.


Here is an excellent ukulele buyer's guide from Sam Ash music stores, with a video introduction to playing by Steve and Amanda Boisen: BUYER'S GUIDE
