Sit or stand up straight
Rest the ukulele against your body
Hold the neck with your fretting hand
Support the body with your strumming arm
Keep the instrument close to your torso
Angle the neck slightly upward
Place your forearm lightly over the top edge
Keep your wrist relaxed
Use your thumb and fingers to steady the neck
Avoid gripping too tightly
Keep your strumming hand free to move
Adjust the position for comfort and balance
