“I am sparcutus”! - lol this is a snippet from the movie I mentioned before “That Thing You Do” directed by Tom Hanks. All of the cast didn’t know how to play their instruments until they were coached, including this guy playing the drums......

How to learn violin the easy way.
All you need is an ukulele (or any other small four-string instrument). Ideally the distance between nut and bridge should be about 32,5 cm, if you are going to use violin strings. Then you tune your ukulele as if it were a violin (E, A, D, G - from bottom to top). If you already play the guitar, you can learn the violin by yourself. After you get familiar with violin fingering, then you can buy a violin and start to learn how to use the bow and other things. This was how I learned the violin and the viola.
Even after you are proficient in violin/viola the ukulele will be useful to practice new tunes. I still use my ukulele because it is much handier than a bow instrument -- I can play it even while lying in bed.

This is so true! 
One of the reasons why I was drawn to playing guitar is because of how expressive music was, and watching the guitarist, you could SEE a lot of emotion going into their playing, and relate on a level that totally transcended the need for any words.
