Most people involved
in contemporary music would think that if you want to “shred” you need at least
6 strings. This is why whenever someone claims they’re a musician, they’re
usually a guitarist. What most people don’t know, is that even an instrument of
simplistic nature has the potential to blow an unsuspecting listener’s mind,
and shatter all of our previously common misconceptions. A true musician
decides his own limitations and explores outside the ordinary methods of play.
This is how virtuosos are born.

Finger Position on the Uke
Contrary to what you might think by looking at a chord diagram, the best spot to place a left-hand finger on fretboard is NOT in the middle of the frets, but rather immediately beside a fret (i.e. just to the left of it). The reason for this is that it requires for less pressure to properly hold the string down in that location than exactly between two frets, or anywhere to the left of that. If you press down on a string without adequate pressure, the result is often a very annoying buzzing sound!

Now that you have purchased your first guitar, the first step is
learning how to tune it!!! Tuning your guitar may be the most important
thing you should do before beginning to play. Now, many people
just purchase a guitar tuner for around $20 , but it is important to
learn how to do it yourself first, in the event that your tuner is not
available. Plus, it is a great way to get introduced to your new
instrument.
