I got myself a concert-sized Ukulele by Luna ($100 came with bag), with geared tuners and I'm not sure what kind of strings because I bought it in a music store. I guess synthetic. I have not played a string instrument before, besides trying to play on a falling apart violin (used to play the drums in high school), so I figured a four string instrument would be easy and cheap to pick up and play. I am having a lot of fun with it. I got a First 50 Songs book which is pretty helpful, and I've been using some websites about ukuleles to learn some tricks about chord finger placement and such. So far my fingertips hurt a lot less after a few days and a few hours of play each day, though I'm having a challenge of switching from one chord to another, but I assume that will come with time. A few days of tuning every day is helping it stay more in tune. GreenBuckanneer fucked around with this message at 02:08 on Nov 9, 2018 |

I knew what that link was before I clicked on it, and I'm glad I saw it again.

 What chord can I do instead of Bm in this chart? I find it really hard to do without completely wretching my hand placement and isn't at all natural feeling.

bees everywhere posted:Here is a great beginner song to learn: http://ukuleletab.net/i/iz/white-sandy-beach/ Don't worry about the fancy picking, you can strum like this: D, D U, U D U over and over Thanks! I don't play as often as I should, but I started learning about picking and tabs and incorporating picking is definitely next after learning the major chords better. The hardest part is still switching between the less common ones. The book I have for this stuff often has like....E♭maj7 or B♭, or F7 and my fingers are just like "what the gently caress are you trying to do? pick simpler chords"
