Getting frustrated w/guitar, is this really that much easier? Can you find tabs easily online?

There are only four strings and the neck is a lot thinner. There is a collection of books showing cords for the beginner and also a separate little cord book that is very handy. I think you will like it a lot. I had trouble with a guitar because my hands are small and I found this a lot easier to play. This one is made out of the good and proper wood for the instrument and has a nice mellow tone. I guess you can send it back if you don't like it. But I think it is a good instrument.

Uke tabs are everywhere!! Just google the song name plus "uke tab," 'twill be easy. I've been playing every day for the last four and a half months (I bought an Hola! soprano ukulele before my stunning Oscar Schmidt), and I'm officially obsessed! WAY easier than guitar, only four strings, and a fun vibe all its own. By the by, this one takes a little while to open up (about a month), and it doesn't yet hold tune perfectly (matter of time?), but the sound is INSANE, I love her! Take the leap!

Sounds like you've just tuned them super closely to each other already. Start at the G string, get it tuned right, and work from there. To get everything roughly tuned, even if you're not good at tuning by ear yet, just get that G string tuned in, then use fret tuning to get the rest. GCEAThis might kind of help.... but the directions are a little weird.http://liveukulele.com/lessons/tuning-your-ukulele/

It's fun to play in standard tuning but there are lots of variations of open tuning. Look up tuning for slide and try some

I'm not saying it's difficult, but you have to put in the time and effort to learn what you're doing. YouTube and MPC-Forums.com will be our friend. Cheers.

Yes it is. Unfortunately the tuning keys are pretty cheap. Try tuning up, it locks the keys. Mine did improve with time as the strings stretched, but still needs tuning each time I play.

I've done it but its really glitchy and unnatural sounding. Helicon makes a good, inexpensive harmonizer. I picked one up used for 60 bucks at Guitar Center.

Actually this is the only program I've seen that works as well as this. It does have its quirks but it suits my needs, I have been able to keep my version working But I have heard about chordpickout.com I think its a new program but have never checked it out. Good luck John K.

I've tried standard, open D & G tunings with slide technique on the Honey Dipper. You should be very pleased with the guitar. As others have commented it is a heavy metal object, but that's where the sound you're looking for originates. Go for it.

The more you play the easier they get. Make sure your thumb is in the middle part of the neck and flatten out your first finger on all of the strings. Like everything else, it just takes some practice.

No, everything comes set up for you, even the strings. The only thing you wouldn't consider "set up" is the guitar tuning. You can use your electronic tuner they provide with the guitar and tune it yourself. E, A, D, G, B E, from lowest to highest.

If you enter the traveler guitar website there is a video which shows you how to change the strings. I didn't change my strings yet but it doesn't seen to take very long and the manual recomends which string to use if I'm not wrong.

Yes you can , I did not but I know it can be done. Kinda expensive though unless you do it yourself. By the way I love this guitar , the fretboard is really nice and the guitar has a really low growl to it.The neck is nice an thick. On the flip side - hard to get higher octaves out of it cleanly , it seems geared for really heavy music. Hope that helps a bit.

It comes with instructions but if you are the least bit unsure about doing it yourself, hire a guitar-tech do it for you. I don't think that it's an expensive proposition.

Hi Tina, if I remember correctly there was no writing on box with the guitar. I did have a problem with the first guitar as it had lots of fret buzz, I had a replacement guitar which also had some fret buzz but not as bad so I decided to keep it. Just an FYI.

It gives you the four main cords to play just about any song as you go through the lesson it will have you remove a cord tab you will learn that cord while you use the other three cord buddy tabs then you will remove another tab a d play til your ready to Remove the third the tab and the same thing til all tabs are gone it makes it easier to learn the four cords once you Learn them the rest will be easier.

If you already play a stringed instrument, it shouldn't be a problem. If you don't, like all new endeavors, it is best to take at least a few introductory lessons rather than guess, become frustrated, and let the instrument collect dust in the closet. That being said, it is a fun instrument and the learning curve is not very steep...there are many fun songs that use only C and G7 chords (pretty easy). Have fun!!!
