Is it just me that finds this hard to do?

I bought myself a ukulele and im determined to learn to play some basic chords etc but im finding it rock hard to get my fingers over the fret board and press the strings do you have to be double jointed or something its very frustrating to say the least, :x

Try basic chord scales to help the movement o fingers.

I play guitar and learnt lead and chords by starting and mastering these

I've been playing guitar for years, when I first started it was bloomin' difficult!

I've got really slim fingers though (great when you've dropped a bolt in your engine) which must help, if your fingers are… erm… full of muscle then it might make reaching across the neck more difficult.

stick at it - we want a seranade at AGM '13!

It's does come mate but it's bloody frustrating until it does… keep practising and building up those calluses on your fingers!  :mrgreen:

cheers I will stick at it but fat fingers dont help and cheers Bert I will never be as good as the god of the uke thats for sure.

yes i been playing the uke for about 2 years its somthing that will come in time. only reason i got it was that its smaller than a guitar but just as fun. oh and easier to put in the car than the guitar. its quite easy to play though just stick at it.
