From Eddie Vedder and Jack Johnson to Taylor Swift, the ukulele is a popular instrument among singer-songwriters. The Hawaiian-born, four-stringed ‘mini guitar’ is perfect for quick results — with just a few chords, you’ll be playing your favorite songs in no time. Whether you have some guitar experience or are starting from scratch, by the end of this evening you’ll have the basics down. And with a bit more practice — for example, as a fun short study break -- songs like Riptide will be a piece of cake.
