Mandolin, Guitar, Ukulele. Time to get some lessons.

Tweet

In the past I have taken basic guitar lessons. I don't have the guitar anymore and recently started playing around with Ebay. I found musical instruments on Ebay were affordable where I could not afford to get a really nice guitar at this time. What I ended up getting were a mandolin, an Hawaiian backpack guitar, and a ukulele. The ukulele has not arrived yet, but I can't wait to get it. I found great instructional lessons on YouTube for each of the instruments. Now I am waiting new strings for the mandolin because I broke two of them during tuning. The guitar is great although much different than any I have ever seen before. Once I get the ukulele I want my older grandkids to try it and the other instruments to see how well they can handle them. I believe in giving children music lessons and introducint them to as much in the music world as possible. They already love playing my electronic keyboard. If they like the ukulele, I plan on getting several ukuleles for Christmas. I found out there are at least three basic types of ukuleles for different sounds. They have soprano, tenor, and baritone ukuleles. If they like my ukulele, I will get at least one of each kind for them to learn on. Their dad, my son, plays guitar and percussion instruments. Their mom plays piano. I play piano, guitar (a little), French horn, and trumpet. Between us and YouTube, as well as other music websites, we can teach them to read and play music. Do you play any instruments, what kind, and is it for fun or profession? Where did you get your instruments? When did you first start learning how to play music?
