Way to go, I just got my first Uke two weeks ago. Heck I would be impressed if someone played Sponge Pants Bob in the store. Congratulations on the new Uke. My daughter just picked up a Kala and loves it.

I am a very beginner uke player and find myself struggling to find the correct angle for my short and fat fingers to be placed on the neck and fret so that i get a clean sound. There are many videos available that detail which fret and string to use for various chords, but I have seen noting on methods of placing your fingers on the frets and neck to help a beginner advance.

It seems that many sites just think that everyone can work the neck correctly, but it just is not true. My finger often hit the corresponding strings or do not hold the string down tight enough on the neck to get a clean and clear note.

A video or 30 second piece on how to place your fingers on the neck and frets would be greatly appreciated for us beginners.

Thanks,

Chipkk
