Comment on What are the best instruments for a beginner to pick up?

I’d recommend the ukulele! There are only four strings and, once you learn a few basic chords, you can play a lot of songs. Of course, the more advanced chords will require more practice. There are plenty of great YouTube channels that can guide you (One Music School, The Ukulele Teacher, Bernadette Teaches Music).

I think it’s worth it! The nice thing is that you don’t have to read sheet music in order to play. There are plenty of free chord charts that are available online. Also, purchasing a decent ukulele will cost $40-$60. I know this can be pricy for some folks (I say this as an extremely frugal person) but I think it’s more affordable than other instruments. Good luck and have fun!
