I agree with Badger about the motivation to "Rock" driving young players to play....BUT I just returned from Hawaii and witnessed 3 people (including my wife) learn a series of very useful chords & strumming patterns on the ukulele in less than 30 minutes. I can also see how learning "complete" songs on the ukulele can be motivating and a natural progression to the guitar.

Maybe I'm just filled with the aloha spirit, but I'm going to start teaching my son on it as soon as I get back home.
