Similar instruments
October 1, 2021Guitar and ukulele. They’re not the same instrument and they sound quite different and have different genres associated with them. But they’re very similar instruments.
They have strings.
They have frets.
They have a bridge and tuners and a head stock.
The strings are even made of the same material for some guitars; nylon.
They play chords and you strum them.
Learning the two of them isn’t like learning two completely different instruments. It’s like learning one instrument and then it’s relative or it’s sibling.
It’s why a lot of string and wind players will play many instruments or double. Once you learn the technique for one it’s not that difficult to learn the technique for another similar instrument.
