help i have fat short fingers and find it hard to form some chords is there another way to form some chords ?or is there some exercises i can do
Super Ukulele
I think you might just need a different type of Ukulele. I have a soprano and it has less frets and less space in between frets. My Tenor Uke is much easier to play because it has more space in between frets.

Super Ukulele
Trick is just to keep practicing. Hang in there Fred. I plan on posting a lesson on how to strum the ukulele soon.
Fred W
ok could do with some help with that and do you have some exercises i can do to get my fretting fingers to do some chords
Super Ukulele
What kind of Ukulele are you playing? A Tenor has more room between frets than a Soprano for example. You might just need a Uke with a bigger fretboard. I have to use a Tenor myself. Plus you get more frets with a Tenor.
