I got a ukulele!

my sis sent me one for my b-day.

Now I'm learning to play "Your are my sunshine" for when my grandchild is born.

It's super fun. There are lots of great instructional videos and lyrics with chord charts online.

Get a Snark ukulele tuner and Aquila strings and you'll be set!

Have fun!🎼🎸🎼!

most fun ever.

I recommend checking out Chordie [link:http://www.chordie.com/browsesong.php|. They diagram the chords and you can change it from guitar to ukulele tuning to see how to play the chords.
