Truth be told, he does play at least three other stringed instruments, but it was pretty amazing how fast he picked up the chords well enough to sound as if he had been playing for years. Not to mention playing the harmonica along with it and making up a song.
I could either be inspired or be discouraged about my progress after a year and a half of playing it. I will choose to be inspired. It is just such a fun instrument! It's really hard to play a sad song on a ukulele and even the sad songs sound happier.
Please enjoy this little video of him playing.
He and his wife are amazing musicians! Here is their website. https://www.mishkanim.com
Thanks for stopping by!
Wow!! That is really impressive that he picked it up so quickly! I guess it does help that he plays other instruments! Sounds like a really cool song he came up with. Thanks for sharing!

He was like a kid with a new toy. He played all afternoon. I'm sure he's going to go out and buy one now.

We are trying to get our 5-year old son to play the ukulele. Any tips?

I use Pinterest to find songs. At first I looked for simple songs that I knew that had only two or three simple chords. I would practice those easy songs over and over until I could do it smoothly. Then I would add another chord or two and a couple of new songs. To start simply builds confidence. I wouldn't start a 5 year old out with a teacher who would want to teach scales and music theory or how to read music. That can come later after they have become hooked on playing music. YouTube is also great for learning strumming and the can play along. Look up something like easy beginner ukulele songs for kids. Good luck!
