Maybe this has been mentioned previously on UU but no search I did can find it.
Strange... I took many years of acoustic guitar lessons in my youth (did 8 method books) and my teacher never told me to play near the fretwire. Always in the middle of the fret.
I now have a ukulele student who has played guitar for many years and is having a bit of difficulty learning to play in the middle of the fret. The student learned to play near the higher fretwire.
I googled this issue and it seems you want to play close to the higher fretwire to avoid buzzing (for beginners maybe?) Personally, a uke or guitar should be set-up properly and not require that of the player, no?
Curious what your views are on this issue?
