Should I get a tenor or concert ukulele? – Ukulele Tuning

Will a beginner’s guitar really take me anywhere?

Most beginner’s instruments are not great, but you always get an education here. Some players don’t need to break the neck. Some players use their guitar as a “real body” instrument and will need to do some work to get used to the neck. You may need to do some “practice” with the guitar with a strap. Some players think it is really awesome to use a strap on a guitar, but you’ll know by feel. I like to take my guitar to a shop and have them set up my strap with the tuner and the strings, and give me a thorough tune up.

The harder you strum the more you feel comfortable on the fretboard. This is a big part of the learning process!

So be patient and don’t let you be discouraged when you don’t feel like you “have a groove” in a few weeks. You don’t have a “right” rhythm, you will find your right rhythm and find a way to get up there.
