  • Ok there's really no 'right' way but I never really see people get into this kind of thing when talking about playing a ukulele. It's incredibly easy to do will help you musically in any instrument you may pick up. Check out the Ryders here:

    A little about me:
    Sean Daniel is a man. A man of simple needs and desires. And the one desire, no, the one NEED, that stands above all is to spread the challenges, joy and intellectual stimulus of music to people of Earth and beyond.
    Born on the mean streets of upper middle class suburban Chicago, Sean learned the ways of the world through the dizzying heights of success to the lonesome depths of failure and emerged with the promise of a better tomorrow reflecting in his eyes and fiery passion in his belly.
    He plays and teaches guitar on his RUclips channel where he regularly releases original music and projects to the adulation of legions of fans, who often compare him to Chris Pratt and one time Ryan Reynolds. He’s currently in the market for a nice leather jacket.

    Ukelele is a great and probably the most relaxing of the stringed instruments! Just simple and not really hard to get into, and I think is something every guitarist should give a shot.

    I still struggle with the guitar after nearly 45 years so I purchased a Uke about 4 years ago thinking it would be easier. I checked a number of Uke web sites but didn't find any with a similar "short cut". You are really the prince of sharing secrets of guitar & Uke. I love your sense of humor, and your "stretch" is just impressive! Thanks for all the tips.

    This is great. I'm just starting, and it's all technical lessons, which is good if you want to be professional I guess, but the lessons forget we want to have fun - right away. The uke is a "fun" instrument, and I believe many (most?) people "just" want to pick it up and play something. I love your way of thinking, it's more feeling and creativity. Of course it's technical, but this feels different than that, and would help people like me whose brain shuts down memorizing theory. I found this very useful, thank you!

    Co-worker gave me an old Oscar Schmidt OU-2 last week. Said, "Could never get it to play." Maybe because the bridge had come un-glued and was attached with a single screw in the middle. Or, because the strings were wrapped under the bridge and laying on the uke. Well after a stripping and re-surfacing the soundboard, I put on a new bringe with bone nut & saddle and a set of nylgut strings. Just a little music theory for uke was what I needed and got it in a "short cut." Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

    The greatest thing about the ukulele is the filter it gives you. If you meet someone who insists on calling it oo-ka-leh-leh then you can guarantee that you have met a someone to avoid. If you don't it will only be a matter of days before they ask you over for fondue and within a month you'll go to their house and clang!! keys in a bowl.
