WHY IT WORKS FOR BEGINNERS Plain language and clear video. We skip the lecture-hall theory and show you the chord shape, the strum and the song. If you can hold a ukulele, you can play it. The ukulele is a forgiving first instrument, and easier to start on than a guitar: four nylon strings, easy on the fingers, and small enough to take anywhere. Take it to the beach, on a trip, or to the couch after work. Open the app, tune up, and play your first song today.
