    (This is concert/ soprano)
    *HOW TO TUNE:
    -Recommend a clip on tuner so you can tune it rly quick
    -There are built in tuners on some ukuleles
    -sopranos have same tuning but sometimes they tune the smaller ones up a tone from this
    -the tuning is:
    4th string = G (high sound) [the string closest to the ceiling]
    3rd string = C (lower sound)
    2nd string = E (medium sound)
    1st string = A (highest sound) [the string closest to the floor]
    -goes from ceiling to floor
    *HOW TO HOLD IT:
    -hold the uke w your forearm and press the uke against your body and hold the neck with your other hand for a little support
    ^^Balance the weight of it between the forearm (arm w the hand strumming) and the hand on the neck
    -OR you could rest the body of the uke on your lap and hold the neck w your other hand
    *HOW TO STRUM IT:
    -Usually strum with your 1st finger (there are techniques tho,, like finger styles and stuff but 1st finger is best for beginners)
    -usually you strum around where the neck meets the body
    -practice: do 4 down strokes w 1st finger then 4 up strokes to get used to it (make sure finger isn't getting caught on the strings)
    -practice 2: 1 down stoke, then 1 up stoke repeatedly
    -practice 3: (this is a common pattern) down, down, up, down, up, down
    -smth you should study is different kinds of strumming patterns and different ways of playing it
    -don't stress
    *4 SIMPLE CHORDS:
    *PROGRESSIONS TO PUT ON THOSE CHORDS:

      I'm probably late to this, but I bought a "Vorson ABS Concert Ukulele" and it's pretty sturdy, sounds great, and holds it's tuning well. It's only $25-29 on Amazon depending on what graphics you choose.
      The reason they're so inexpensive is because they're made of plastic, which is actually more durable than the wooden ones. It just doesn't look like wood.
      I'd definitely recommend upgrading if the one you own doesn't sound great and you don't want to spend a lot of money on a higher end one 🙂

      animeaddict My husband daniel taught me and easier way to play the G Cord. Put your first finger over the first threecords on the second fret and then put your Second finger over the second string on the third fret. It is so much easier to play it that way, hope it helps😄

    So here’s my story
    Earlier today my friend found a ukulele in her closet while she was cleaning it out
    She didn’t know what to do with it
    I gave her five bucks for it
    We were both happy
    Until I realized
    I have no clue how to play an instrument
    I figured out how to play twinkle twinkle little star
    somehow......
    Now I suck even more than when I started.
    Bye bye

    GREAT VIDEO! THANK YOU! Picked up my old Flying V ukulele that I got in exchange for a bag of doughnuts at Download about 10 years ago and has been sitting in my little girls bedroom for decoration. Given me a strum rhythm to practice to make it less boring, taught 4 chords and an easy sequence to put them into to make a song I recognise. And teaches you how to tune. 3 hours later and I already feel like I can play a song I sort of recognise. I can’t wait to show my little girl in the morning. She probably won’t be at all impressed by my new talent. Really handy video though.
