As someone who is musically inept, I'm contemplating learning an instrument in the near-ish future. I tried to teach myself guitar several years back, but it didn't work (per Mitch Hedberg[0]).
This next time around, I'll likely hire a teacher to make sure I get the basics, and a friend recommended starting with a ukulele before moving to guitar. I'm curious if there's a good app/website that can help newbies learn. Anyone have experience here and any recommendations?

- bmelton 4y agoMarty Schwartz on Youtube is pretty decent for beginners. Having a visual reference is nice, and he goes at it super slow-paced. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNSaXAe8tyg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNSaXAe8tyg

- jemmyw 4y agoPaul Davids: https://learnpracticeplay.com/ https://learnpracticeplay.com/ Don't start with a Ukulele unless that's the instrument you want to play. It's fun but a guitar much more versatile. If you want to learn music theory then it's easier to grasp the concepts with a piano / keyboard. I can't play piano very well, but if I want to think about a scale on a guitar then having the piano there is helpful.
