Ukulele - The ultimate guide for the absolute starter - Part 1

Ukulele is known as one of the easiest musical string instruments to learn. Now, this sentence raised my eyesbrow. I would agree this is easy to pick up but definitely takes tons of practice to complete the beginner stage; learning the chords to strum, finger plucking and chunking.

1. Learn C then F and G major
2. Try switching between these three chords
3. Try to strum on a children's nursary rhyme; twinkle twinkle little star is my favourite
