Hello UU

[Paulee]

Hello everyone on UU.
I am an absolute beginner and at 54 hope I'm not too old to learn.
Yesterday I picked up an Islander MSC-4 to learn on.
I know I will need help and guidance along the way and look forward to chatting to you all on the journey.
Any tips

Welcome to the forums Paulee! That's a great ukulele to start with.

Welcome to UU, Paulee!
You're never too old to learn ukulele. Progress may be slower, but learn C and G7 and you'll be strumming along!

Thankyou. I tried a few but as soon as I tried this one it spoke to me and I knew it was the one for me

Welcome... I started even later than you, and I'm pretty good now (four years later!)

Lots of good advice in here... Welcome!

Welcome aboard! I was around sixty when I took up the uke so you have plenty of time to learn whatever you need!

Welcome to UU Paulee. I started learning to play ukulele at about age 60, so you're in good company.

Welcome Paulee and a big hello from Chicago. As it was said, never too late to start.

I was in my 60’s when I picked the ukulele, so it’s never too late, Paulee. Don’t worry too much about goals. Just enjoy the journey. If you’re having fun, everything else will follow.

Good for you Paulee. At 54 your a Uke youngster. All ages play Ukulele, but there's an "older crowd " that takes it up and you are on the younger end of the oldster set. Have fun.
