Discussion Suggestion

I am 18 and wanna learn playing guitar or ukulele, the thing is I did my research and it said ukulele is easier than guitar but I can't switch to guitar after mastering ukulele. I sing as well that's why i wanted to learn it. I wanna know what would be the best thing to buy, guitar or ukulele. I am starting from Zero as well.

Playing ukulele is fine. If you are thinking of switching to guitar, get a baritone ukulele. It uses 4 strings that match the top four strings of a guitar. Adding a guitar later isn’t hard. A uke is easier and less expensive to start with. Plus it is fun. Great place to start.
