Hello, fellow lemmy ukulelians,

I'm just getting into this cute little instrument. I have a bit of a background in playing guitar, so I figured I might have an easy time playing Ukulele as well. However a few introductory lessons might be useful to really get into it.

If you know of any online resources, that you can recommend for learning, please do post them here!

Basically but not really. The G-string on the Uke being an octave higher than the capoed guitar D-string makes a real difference, and timbre matters a lot as well. Fortunately, I do own a dedicated Ukulele. Harmony-wise it absolutely works though and I guess it's a good idea to think about it that way to easily translate chord shapes. So thank you for the input, I guess that will boost my progress sustantially.

Also, I don't think calling it cute is derogatory in any way. It can be cute and serious at the same time. Its cuteness just adds to the fun.
