Fender has expanded its Fender Play guitar learning platform with the addition of ukulele lessons.
As with the app’s guitar lessons, the ukulele lessons are bite-sized, song-driven and delivered in videos by experienced instructors.
Players can sign up to a 30-day free trial at play.fender.com, after which it costs £9.99/€9.99 per month. A year of unlimited lessons costs £89.99/€89.99.
Fender Play is available now on iPhone, iPad, Android devices and desktop.
