Back - I like my ukulele for the kind of people it attracts.

I encourage my students to singalong with me.

The relationship of the top four strings of a guitar: e B G D is the same as the four strings on a ukulele: A E C G. So, if you already play guitar chords then you will soon adapt to the ukulele. You will recognise the chord shapes albeit with their different names. Should you require to transpose the names of chords then my Transposer is a good place to start.

A ukulele is tuned exactly as a guitar with a capo at the 5th fret if you look at the first four strings only, except that the fourth string (the G) of the ukulele is tuned one octave up. In other words, a guitar player can get a feel for it by capoing the 5th fret and stick to the first four strings.
