And then I found this awesome lesson channel and learning these 3 chords tonight made me smile soo big and really want to learn. Thank you for putting these up.

    Been playing guitar for almost 20 years, got my first ukulele for Christmas a few days ago and this channel has been a great resource for learning the chord shapes. It's a lot of fun because it's similar but also totally different from playing a guitar. The G chord looking like a D really confused me at first, I kept trying to make a G shape like I would on the guitar and accidentally playing an F. Thanks for the free lessons!

    To everyone else: YOU'RE NOT UNTALENTED, YOU'RE JUST A BEGINNER! :D
    I too was surprised at how physically difficult playing the uke was... But I paced myself, only did what I was capable of doing, and I got better over time, and so will you. ^^
    If you're hurting and frustrating yourself, dial back the difficulty level and just strum open for a while, do some rhythm and singing playing around. Then try chords that only use one finger, and learn as many of those as you can, and string them together.
    I did that for YEARS and still made kickasss music. Only move on to multiple fingers once you're eager to.
    And remember to keep your goals in mind. What did you want ukulele skills for? I didn't start in order to become a master, or even to do plucking. I got a uke to use for backing chords. If I can do that, that's success for me, even if I'm in bottom 10% of ukulele skills.
    So think about it. Is there a specific goal you have in mind? If not, why not make one to start with? Maybe it's to master a specific song you really like, or to participate in a band, or practice for a certain amount of time every month, or to be able to do a specific technique. If you set a goal, it's a lot easier to appreciate your progress.
    Good luck!
    To Andy, Thank you for this! Now I can annoy my neighbors in tune! I got a uke because I do composition, lyrics and vocals, but I needed something to do with my hands to accompany myself, so I got the smallest instrument I thought would work... because I lived in a van and literally could not fit anything bigger than a ukulele in there... I'm basically greg universe.... Anyway, it was fun making up my own weird dissonant chords by messing around on the fret, but learning real chords is very nice! Thank you for uploading!

      I'd try swapping where your 1st and 2nd finger are - that's how I've always played G and found his way slightly more difficult. It's whatever feel most comfortable for your hands, I suppose :D

Using the sunshine song and then playing the chords only and trying to work on faster transition. And I can play the sunshine song and just tried happy birthday too and I can do it in acceptable form!! I have a long way to go but am so glad i can do it! Practice does make you the best. Phewwww.
