So lately i've been thinking on and off about how easy it is to go from guitar to the ukulele. My brother has played guitar for about 4 years now maybe more, and i was just messing around on my ukulele the other day playing the song "stand by me", this was a few weeks ago actually i've since learned a bit more difficult songs. But he was like hey how do you play that? and i showed him and he pretty much just started playing it after i showed him the chords and picking. Granted i did show him, but other than that, has anyone out there gone from guitar to ukulele? I'm sure dealing with a string instrument would help to some extent but im just wanting some comfort to sooth my mind and to rid the thoughts that i could be playing a "fall-back" instrument, because i've never been really interseted in the guitar, but when i got interested in the uke i got hooked because it was just smaller and seemed simpler. I mean logically there are a fewer number of frets and notes to be played in comparison, but i was just curious if anyone else has thought this before, or anything of the sort? I suppose as long as someone can make good sounding music it doesnt matter the size or reputation of the instrument, just throwing out my thoughts to talk about haha.
