My hand joints are getting better finally and I wanna learn an instrument. The thing is, I'm dumb and have struggled really badly with reading music in the past.

The ukulele is pretty easy as far as guitar-like instruments go. The strings are nylon and there are only 4, so it's easier to manage. If you like it, you can eventually learn to play the full guitar. And you only need to learn chords, not sheet music.

Ukulele is easy, cheap and fun. Very great instrument to learn if you want to have fun without investing too much money and time!
