Tuning

Everything has to start at the beginning. For this project, Brett McQueen's Ukelele Tricks will be the online tutor.  He makes it look easy!  Being left-handed, the first question is how to hold the instrument so the dominant hand [left] can strum and the fine-motor-skills hand [right] can do the fingering...should this be done?

Brett says no. Both hands have to be used anyway and playing right-handed avoids the time-consuming thinking/conversions necessary to read instructional materials since those tools are not prepared with left-handedness in mind.  However, in my case, there is a 25-year history of using the right hand to perform a delicate, precision motor-skill - papercutting [see the 5" example where four papercuttings are tangled together]. Figuring out which hand to use will be a challenge but hopefully, one that becomes negligible as time goes on.
