Ukeleles?
I have an invite to join a ukelele group, starting next year. Socialising, music together - all good stuff. I have never touched a uke, much less tried to play one, and my knowledge gets as far as "sort of like a baby guitar, so fretted strings, right?" I've never played fretted strings.
So, musician friends, please Eddicate me? The lady who invited me seems to think I'll be able to pick up enough to join in in five minutes or so, and borrow one of hers, but I'm less confident. What do I need to know? Also, if I buy one myself, what should I look out for and what should I avoid? Any recommended teach-yourself books?
