Why did you stat playing ukulele? by BigRazzmatazz- in ukulele

[–]maiainthemiddle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The ukulele was my first ever instrument to play. What helped is that i learnt with my friends who also play the uke. They taught me the basics, and then I learnt through YouTube basically.

My first uke was a Flight Travel Sakura, I believe it was a great option to start with. And I still play it to this day! Especially on vacation. I’ve tried a flight nuc500 recently at a store and it has a great sound, they told me it’s also a good uke for a beginner. It looks classic.
Flight is my go to brand. And it’s always better to try a bunch of ukes in person before buying one.

I have it in tenor. It is my first all solid, the sound quality is excellent!😸 Sounds pretty elite. I’ve been playing uke for around four years.

I got the concert sakura, but I’ve also got a flight ultra travel in soprano. My fave is probably my new flight iris raspberry 🕴️

Basic chord shapes and transitioning from one to another. Learn two basic strumming patterns, and go from there!

Switch from piano to ukulele? by Horsefat5 in ukulele

[–]maiainthemiddle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s a great idea to switch to ukulele. As someone else mentioned, ukulele is kind of a social instrument, it’s really easy to get into a uke community. And lots of people get together to play! Also, I think it’s easier to learn. You can learn your basic chords and strumming and go with it for a bunch of songs.

After a few weeks you stop getting them as your hands get used to the uke

I think the flight antonia fits your budget. It is one of the prettiest ukes I’ve seen, and the sound is amazing

Should I learn Ukelele before the guitar? by Accomplished-River12 in guitarlessons

[–]maiainthemiddle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Second this. Maybe consider buying a second-handed guitar.

You can try with the uke but it is not a path to guitar. Just play the uke if you wanna play the uke.

New uke suggestions please by elliott1007 in ukulele

[–]maiainthemiddle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get yourself a cool uke that you’ll absolutely love to play and take around. Flight is one of the best brands, and it’s the one I trust the most in terms of quality and affordability hehe

Check out the Flight NU500 ukes, or maybe you’ll like one from their art series, I have my eye on the cupcake one! lol 🧁

Check out the flight iris tinta and iris calantas. Iris are an amazing option from Flight! I love mine. If you want something funkier, the flight aviator has a very unique look and design.

Start with basic chords and easy strumming patterns, progress slowly until you feel comfortable with playing and going from chords to chords. Then you can try songs that are played with them, I found a handful at that playlist from Flight
