Hello, just registered. Good luck to all new ukulele players, I started almost 7 years ago but I wasn't a guitar player and it has taken me ages to get my right hand doing what it should. When I started I thought I was a bit of a freak but getting on the interweb I've been amazed how many freaks we are. You Tube has lots of good and not so good clips of people playing, plus fantastic lessons called 'Uke minutes' by Aldine something????? Also check out myspace for uke players (including little old ukemonkey). I started on a cheap uke and really made myself earn a better one by getting good enough to feel I deserved it, I now play an Applause acoustic (lovely sound and in tune up the neck) and I also got an E-Bay bargain Oscar Schmidt electroacoustic which I use for recording.
I also teach ukulele to children in my school (i'm a primary teacher) and they love the fact that they can be playing a song after one lesson and their fingers can reach frets easily. Keep at it!
