Well, i already play a few instruments, notably the guitar and the Mandolin, and decided to take up the Ukulele for a challenge of some sort.
It was after i brought my Mahalo Flying V Shaped Ukulele that i searched on youtube and found Jody Kamisato's lessons where he demonstrates how to play his favourite song, and, so i just learned from that.
The only strange thing is that the strumming pattern is weird on the Ukulele as it is of course down down up up down which is different from the standard used by most instruments.
Of course the Uke is an easy instrument to learn and due to the unusual strumming pattern we have an easy time changing chords as it is played slower than a guitar which is one i found tiresome to learn actually.
