Twiggy, I am a large man with large hands,and my choice of size/scale is Soprano! Try other sizes if you can, but if you persevere you will be amazed at what you can achieve!
Aldine has a teaching video for Classical Gas
Not difficult chording, per se, but a lot fingering within those chords
I use it as a finger exercise
Some days my fingers are spot on
Some days my fingers aren’t
C. F. G7
F. Bb. C7
A. D. E7
Practice going to and from within each chord triple
Some days it will come easy, some days, not so much..
Good luck, and welcome
I tabbed arough outline of this. Shoot me your email and I can send it to you.
Do not use the size of your ukulele as an excuse. Or that you have the wrong strings or anything else. Many people with large hands play soprano ukuleles. Unless you have some cheap rubbish for a ukulele, you can learn to play it. Don't give up. I am not particularly talented, intelligent, athletic, good looking or coordinated, but I am determined. When you get discouraged, tell yourself, if Rllink can learn to play the ukulele anyone can, and forge on.Peter,
I do have hands on the larger side, I mean I do wear large or sometimes even XL gloves. My Uke is a Soprano too, so maybe that could be an issue, maybe not, at this stage I'm not sure.
I guess try a little more, and if there's still no progress, maybe consider a larger Uke?
