Thanks for your input Do! I hope you had fun learning to play the ukulele. I tried out a ukulele a few months ago when I visited a guitar store. I think they are interesting and maybe easier to learn, but I still prefer the guitar over the ukulele. I think you are right about YouTube being a great resource to start. One could get a taste of what learning a particular instrument would involve before investing in traditional in-person lessons.Do Thi Huong wrote: ↑18 Feb 2024, 10:04 I tried to learn to play the ukulele from a Youtube channel before, and I think it's totally possible to learn from Youtube if you just play for fun. The guy I followed had this whole series of beginner lessons, starting from scratch. And there are tons of other resources like that on YouTube too. It's definitely a great place to start.

Thank you for your response! I, too, have had an interest in playing piano/keyboards for a long time. There are many videos online for piano lessons if you search for "learn to play piano free." Someday, I hope to purchase a small keyboard and give it a try with the free video lessons. I'm not wanting to be a professional pianist, so I think the free videos would be helpful and fun. I hope you are successful in your keyboard pursuits!Tobiloba Christiana wrote: ↑29 Feb 2024, 12:37 I've always had interest in playing keyboard. I wish I find someone who will teach me.

Thank you for sharing Ambar. I hope you will give the ukulele another chance someday and be successful with it! I am hoping to learn acoustic guitar and also piano. I don't have instruments yet, but hope to purchase in the near future.Ambar Gill wrote: ↑29 Feb 2024, 18:22 I tried learning to play the ukulele on YouTube. I have played several instruments prior, including the guitar and I thought it would be super easy to learn but I ended up giving it up after a few days. My motivation totally drained and I couldn't manage it. However, the internet is an incredible tool for learning so I think if you're dedicated, it would be easy. Especially with your previous music history.
Happy learning!

Thank you for sharing that Anna. I think your strategy of taking lessons first to get the basics down is a good one. I hope you have great success with the guitar!Anna Surdziel wrote: ↑11 Mar 2024, 07:12 I tried to learn guitar that way. It only partially worked for me. At the beginning I had no idea where to start. There are more videos teaching guitar than necessary, witch ultimately led to my confusion. Because of this I took lessons for about 2 months, after witch I learnt the basics and could continue learning by myself off of youtube
