I can pretty much recommend a brand in regards to how much money you want to spend....Learning to play the ukulele is pretty easy compared to learning the guitar!! Aloha!!

I was thinking of buying an uke, but i have no experience with guitars at all... I was born in Hawaii and i want to get back to my roots. Does anyone have any ideas on what uke is good for a beginner? I don't want a really cheap one either... I was hoping to buy one, and keep that one for a long time. Any suggestions?

Um, not really.....I just used this video to teach a basic pattern on how to strum. It may work with some songs.... Happy Playing!!

So you mute the strings with your chord holding hand and follow the beat of the song or follow the lead rhythm guitar/keyboard player with your strumming hand.

Yeah, I guess there's a pause between there. I never did think of that! Good ears! Yup, the chords are C, Am, F and G7. If you're learning that style of chord progressions and if it works, go with it! You can play all different kinds of strumming patterns. It all depends on the style of music you're trying to play!! The easiest way I found out to figure out a strumming pattern was to mute the strings with your chord holding hand and to follow the beat of the song or the lead guitar.

One more quick question with the DDU pause UD how often do you change chords, is it at the end of each cycle, in otherwords are you holding a "C" strumming DDU pause UD then changing to an "A" strumming DDU-UD chang to an "F" DDU-UD changing to your "G" DDU-UD and back to "C" or is there another count for your chord changes.
