I'm clearly biased, but when I pick up a guitar it's like puting on a pair of pants that is way to big for me.
Agreed. When I pick up my small concert sized guitar, it feels like I'm trying to steer the Queen Mary.
As for uke to guitar; I made up my mind to learn the chords on the baritone uke and then transition up to a guitar. It was incredibly smooth and easy, and I never bothered learning the bass strings' place in chords because I fingerpick with alternating bass. So I just find which bass notes sound right for the tune I'm working on and I pick them with my thumb. I found that to be much more enjoyable than trying to barre six strings on every chord and I rarely if ever find myself doing monster six-string chords. I like picking out what sounds right and leaving the rest off.
I owe my guitar style to the uke. But - then again - lately I play a lot more uke than guitar.
