There is no doubt about the ukulele’s appeal. Its happy sound has helped it make a comeback in recent years, and you’ve probably heard it on the radio in songs by popular artists. The ukulele is a great instrument to learn, whether you already know how to play the guitar or have never played anything before. See the following reasons you should play the ukelele. 

It’s in your budget. 

When you buy a ukulele, you won’t have to spend as much as you would on other instruments. You can get a nice new ukulele for about $100, and there are different body sizes (soprano, concert, tenor, and baritone), so you don’t have to worry about it getting broken.

It’s portable. 

It’s the best tool for traveling. You can pretty much take it anywhere. Go to the beach with it. You can take it on a plane. The drummers and tuba players should be so lucky.

It’s fun and friendly. 

The ukulele is a great instrument for getting people together because it’s not scary and anyone can play it, whether they’re a musician or not. Its happy, joyful sound makes it fun to play and easy for anyone to learn.

Songs are easy to change to fit the ukulele. 

The ukulele can be used to play most popular songs in many different styles (yes, even metal). Even songs with complicated chords can be simplified to make them easier to play on the ukulele, which has four strings.

The skills and knowledge you have with the guitar apply to the uke. 

Guitarists can easily switch from playing the guitar to playing the ukulele. All of the scales and chord shapes you learned on the guitar can be used on the ukulele. They just have different names.
