Being a completely music illiterate I remember someone telling me that the ukelele is the easiest instrument to play, being it so close to a guitar I doubt it.
Can anyone confirm or deny such statement ?
Thanks

The ukulele is pretty easy to play basic songs on. The finger positions for most common chords are not difficult, and a lot of songs only use three or four chords.

Playing like the girl in your original video is a lot harder. ;)

Dan, I've got a one or two of Rodrigo y Gabriella's songs on my iPhone...part of the regular playlist. :thumb: Not bad for a couple of thrash rock players, huh?

From Wikipedia:

The duo met in Mexico City while playing in a thrash metal band called "Tierra Ácida". Growing frustrated with the limited scope of the domestic music scene, they moved to Europe, where they met considerable acclaim.

They took up residence in Dublin, Ireland, after hearing it was particularly welcoming to travelling musicians. Playing live gigs in various pubs and busking on Grafton Street and Temple Bar allowed them to practice their sound. They received their break when Damien Rice approached them to provide the support for the Irish music festival Oxegen. In 2005 they toured extensively in festivals around the United Kingdom and beyond.
