I'm a beginner at both lol, so if anybody has any tips, or if you just wanna talk about, yeet yourself in here lmao

_{v(I just wanna say I want to learn but hw and stress so I can't, for now)}

Well, it's good that you want to learn ^.^ I understand being under too much stress, though. I haven't practiced my uke in a week because I haven't had the time.

Good job, I might learn in the summer

Uke or guitar?

I am learning uke
(well i have a uke that i haven't played in weeks because reasons)

Same lmaooo

Uke or guitar?

Either one or both, idk

Both are pretty fun. I hate to say this but ukulele is easier, so if you like the uke, I'd start with that

I probably would

slides in nyello, I play guitar

ayyyyy
I'm starting to learn guitar and some chords are absolute hell to attempt but I also love it

yeah chords are the Fucking Worst on guitar so I alter like everything to make it easier lol

lol I thought ukulele chords were bad
I was so, so wrong
it's really satisfying when I play one right though, so it's worth it to me

oh one thing I hate though is when my joints lock up when trying to switch chords

I play both, they're so much fun.

ukulele right here! i hate the a flat minor chord with all of my heart

oh god yeah that one's the worst

E major sucked at first, but I finally got the hang of it.

yeah

oof I still need to get back into the hang of chords properly, I used to be able to do 50 chord changes a minute on my guitar but I got too busy and couldn't play it for like months rip

What was the thing you used to practice chord changes btw?

oh I just set a timer for a minute and tried to change between two chords as fast as I could. it works really well if you sit and do it for like 5-10 minutes before one sitting

Lol I wouldn't be able to do that for 10 whole minutes with the same two chords, I'd probably start switching between like 15 different chords bc I'd get bored

yeah usually what I do is I pick a song and then take like five minutes practicing switching between that song's chords before trying to play it, and sometimes if I'm not fast enough I'll do it again. honestly I've always had to do it two or three times in one sitting, especially with trying to do the intro to my smile is extinct (the original version), or 505
