Get Started With Ukulele
Whether you've just unboxed your first ukulele or you're picking it back up after a break, this is the fastest path from "I just got a uke" to playing your first song. Six bite-sized guides, each building on the one before: start with beginner tips, learn the proper holding posture, get in tune, read your first chord diagrams, master a handful of basic chord shapes, and finish with the full strumming guide.
Each step is a short read on its own, but plan on 10 to 20 minutes per guide if you stop to try things on your uke (and you should — that's where it sticks). Work through all six and you'll have everything you need to play along to thousands of songs on UkuTabs.
