Learning The Ukulele - Seven Some Tips
For larger ukuleles - such as tenor and baritone ukuleles - you want to fret a little closer to the third fret bar. But be careful not to get too close. If you do get too close to the third fret bar you will start to hear the string buzzing which will distract from the tone significantly.
Most of the cheapest ukuleles that you will find for sale are sopranos (although not all sopranos are cheap by any means). This makes them perfect for beginners who just want to test out whether the ukulele is for them.
Costs beyond the instrument are also low. You generally will only need a few things in addition to the instrument itself. This includes a tuner, so you or your child can keep the ukulele in tune. A gig bag or case is useful for protecting the instrument when storing or transporting it. Tuners and gig bags can be purchased for around $20 each. You will also need to buy strings and replace them regularly. These are also reasonably priced, generally starting at $5 for a pack of strings.
The A7 chord is another standard Ukulele chord that can be played using just one finger. You need to place your index finger (or pointer if you prefer) on the first fret of the C string (the second string down). The A7 chord makes for a great substitute for the A chord in songs that are in the key of D.

Taylor was born in 1989 and grew up in Pennsylvania. At an early age she showed an interest in writing poems and songs, performing comedy acts, and singing country music. Like a lot of other musicians, her talent may have been inherited by her grandmother who was a professional opera singer. However, instead of singing opera, she would sing country music accompanied by karaoke backgrounds. She also plays instruments such as a regular guitar and a 12 string, ukulele, and the piano.
