ENJOY YOUR TIME WITH EASY TO PLAY UKULELE INSTRUMENT
during corona period, with lots of free time in hand, i started having an inclination of playing some light musical instrument as a hobby which would become a stress buster as well.
guitar was on my list but since it is not cost effective and the complexity of learning required, i gave up the idea
after going through many videos of how to play guitar, i suddenly came upon a video showing a small version of guitar which felt like easy to play and sing along.
it’s name being uKULELE
i heard the name for the first time though many may be familiar with it
it is a very economical instrument, easy to learn, easy to carry and easy on the pocket as well
UKULELE also called uKE, is a member of lute family of instruments of portuguese origin and popularized in hawaii

it’s a four string instrument from guitar family and is quiet smaller in size as compared to the regular acoustic guitar
the learning curve for learning ukulele is fairly easy as well.
there are plenty of online guides that can help teach yourself
