Using JustinGuitar.com to learn how to play the baritone ukulele. And so far, it seems to be working out okay.

Musically, over the years, I’ve tried various intruments like guitar, flute, recorder, and dulcimer - all trying to find one that “fits” me. Then, somehow, I discovered that there is a ukulele that sounds a lot like a guitar (and not the soprano ukulele that was made famous by Tiny Tim - oh that might give my age away). My younger brother is a musician who can play more instruments than I can count. I had hoped that some day I could play a couple of tunes with him. Maybe I’ll make it this time.

Other than that, I’m currently serving as a US Peace Corps volunteer in a small rural village (pop 1000) in the mountains of Armenia (basically Armenia is sandwiched between Russia, Turkey, and Iran). I’m an English teacher at the school and teach about 200 students. I’ll be here until 2025. So, hoping in that time to learn more about playing the bariton ukulele.
