My hands are pretty small but I want to improve my finger dexterity for guitar. Which one do you think is better the, the blue or green?

They're the same size, the colors indicate tension level not size of product.

I am using the green one, seems to work well with me, as my fingers are weak. So if your fingers are week, then start with the green, but it is pretty easy. So it just depends how much you have been using your fingers. I was getting tendinitis and the green one seemed to have stopped that pain by strengthening my fingers. I just type a lot.

It's hard to say, because we don't really have our hand strength quantified in pounds very often. However, if you're a guitar player, I would recommend the blue (5lbs). If it's hard to squeeze, good! It'll get easier as you use it regularly.

You can use both either in the green or blue colored . I have both of each and never had a problem . Hope that helps and have a nice day

Probably typical for a solid body electric. Definitely much thinner than my Gibson J-50 acoustic. It should be okay for small hands.

It plays the same as an 8 string Mandolin. It's the way it sounds that makes it unique. I bought this to play the blues with. It a great compliment to my guitars. And the blues sound great. It also good for bluegrass music as well.

I have both. The soprano is easier to chord but I have large fingers so I like the tenor because there's more room between strings and frets. You're right though, the tenor does sound richer.

I really like the EXP 17's which are the same string as the 16 but in a medium gauge. The heavier gauge takes a little getting used to, and they are not recommended for all guitars (check with the manufacturer), but the increase in volume and authority of my sound I feel is well worth it. Btw- I just tried a set EXP19's and they are basically medium gauge tops with lights on the bottom. Not a bad idea really. A little easier on the fingers. By all means stick with the phosphor bronze for a mellow tone.

The Suzukin Manji can be purchased in all of the following keys: A B# C D E F G.I recommend you buy a C if you are a fairly new player, and A B#C and G if you are more experienced

Irv, that's a great question. If your hands are larger than average it actually will not make any difference which you choose. The neck width on the instruments is the same (both are 1-3/8th inches at the nut). The difference is in the size of the body. The tenor is made to resonate lower tones. Either one will be fine. The thing that you will need to make sure you tend to is a technique issue. When you fret a string with your left hand you should make sure that you are applying your fingertip only to the fret board, not the pad of your finger. That will allow the strings around the one you are fretting to ring properly and make your playing sound it's best. Good luck to you in your efforts to become more musical in this new year.

Hi M. Stewart, I own a G9126 and even that it is a small beautiful guitar the neck is almost as wide as a regular size guitar. I think the space between frets and strings will be to big for a small hands kid. The Cordoba guilele and Yamaha gitalele will be more suitable for your kid (because of the thinner neck they have), they are both cheaper on price and quality but not that much on sound. The Yamaha comes in different colors.....you can also check smallguitars.com

I am a guitar player and recently got the Kala Soprano Ukulele as an early Christmas present. I like that it is small and so easy to play. The sound is "happy" and the chords are easier than the guitar. No hurting fingers on the Kala. I would buy the soprano and have fun and invite everyone to sing along. There are lots of great websites with the chords and words to most of the favorite songs. Try this site http://www.boatpaddleukuleles.com/top50/

I have short, stubby fingers, and the bass is easier for me to play than the Yamaha tenor is. I can't play the basses that you blow into to the top because my arms just aren't long enough, but I have no problem with this one. I just measured my hand span with a ruler, from the tip of my thumb to the tip of my little finger, with my hand spread, and it's 8". It seems like a little bit shorter would be ok too. Hope that helps. Good luck!

Hi Bennison, I personally have finally settled on th EJ26-3d strings. They are a custom light .011-.052 and are a little easier onthe fingers while still giving you a full fat sound.

I got a right handed model but I think I have seen the left handed available also. Great guitar. My son loves it.

The strings do not hurt my fingers. You do have to practice and toughen up your fingers over time. It is so much fun and it doesn't matter what uke you pick...strings are Aquila and that is a separate brand from the uke!!!

Hello, not sure how short is short but I believe the neck is narrow enough where most people regardless of finger length should be able to play the guitar. I would take a chance because the acoustics are really nice.
