It doesn’t matter.
I started with ukulele then switched to guitar, and now play both. Ukulele is easier but that’s because of the size. The two instruments are different once you get past how they look.
James,
Piece of cake. You already know how to strum and finger placement. Now you’re going to switch to only four strings.
Check out http://www.kunisan.jp/ukulele/eindex.html for chords.
http://www.doctoruke.com/ for simple lessons and songs.
Both sites have tuning.
http://ukulelehunt.com/ has anything you want to know about the ukulele and links to sites to help you.
Another piece of advice. Get either a concert or tenor ukulele. They’re bigger than the standard size and will be easier for you to chord b/c, since you play guitar, your accustomed to begger frets like on a guitar.
Have fun,
