Playing a ukelele is basically like playing the top 4 strings (e,B,G,D) on a guitar with a capo on the 5th fret. I know. I play both.

guitars are overrated in my opinion. too many people buy them to look cool.

I didn't buy one to look cool. I bought one to learn how to play it, and I'm very proficient at it now. Got anything else you want to say?

Go ahead, get a guitar, and put a capo on the 5th fret, and play uke chords on the top (the bottom strings, e,B,G,D) 4 strings and tell me it doesn't sound very similar.
