ii-V-I patterns easier on guitar and ukulele Learning and getting facile with the jazz patterns takes a lot of practice on the piano. Every key on the piano requires learning different fingering. They are much easier to make on the guitar because every pattern uses the exact same set of hand positions, they just move from place to place on the guitar neck. They are much easier to make and play on the ukulele. The small instrument offers very little resistance on the hand and fingers comapered to the guitar. You can have fun singing and playing standards pretty quickly on the little instrument and get an understanding of how they will sound when you conquor them on the piano. I offer books for both instruments should you ever be interested. (below)
