So I bought a concert ukelele. I own a guitar and play it irregularly but pined for a regular form of music other than my stereo or Pandora or even the halfhearted singing on Sunday mornings. It has become a delightful addition to my evenings thanks to online lessons with sound cloud representations of chord and song sounds. I can now play a C, F, and G7 chord for songs like "When the Saints Go Marching In." I have a chord chart, too, so (with this cheat sheet), I can play most chords (perhaps not very well).
But I also discovered I need to tune my ukelele every time I take it out of its case. I need to keep my nails short. I also need to toughen up my fingers--even grow callouses for better sound.
More to come! Maybe next I can play songs people even will enjoy.
