    It would be fantastic to hear how you come up with your arrangements, James. Man, it must be like solving puzzles. Also, probably very addictive :-)

    so if you change your strings to fatter shall your wife change to upright bass? pheew, just asking...........................oh lord....
    off course its James Hill who hipsters with only the -string wound: for jazz: ha ha, for ultimate jazz hipsterism, sounds more correctomo! Im aging, so just ordered 2 cheapo Stagg Baritones, and tenor strings( I hope theyre long enough!) Im a guitarist and remember my tenors sounding awsome n being sensitive to climate change, but I heard Marco Cirillo playin baritone ukes, and the romance in me took place, love ya James, love!

  • @qianque1798
    @qianque1798 2 года назад +2

    Hello James, I'd like to ask you something about the course "Baritone Ukulele Jazz". As the tone is DGBE, I'd like to know that in the teaching videos, what is the sound of your fourth string? Do you usually use low D or high D?

    • @jameshillmusiq
      @jameshillmusiq  2 года назад +2

      Good question. In the course I tune high-D, G, B, E because I’m focusing on chords, singing and a bit of improvisation. The high-D tuning really gives a sweet, jazzy sound (which is why uke jazz legends Lyle Ritz and Benny Chong were drawn to it). But you can still take the course in low-D tuning, no worries. There’s a 30-day guarantee so try it and see if it works for you! www.Uketropolis.com/baritonejazz

      @@jameshillmusiq Thank you for replying me James! Wow I really love your course and also I've attended the class yesterday. Now I'm one of the official members of the ukulele community! Actually I was a guitar lover, who just played some pieces of fingerstyle songs but didn't know much about the music theory. As I really like Jazz and you also provide the systematic and great way of learning ukulele as well as the fact that it is such a pretty instrument..., I feel very happy to join you. Now I just bought a baritone ukulele online with the tuning of GCEA (I think it is really special to own a baritone and I love the gentleness and versatility, but it's hard to find the way to learn it from the beginning as the learning resources for it are quite limited, so I changed the strings into GCEA). I will receive it after Christmas and New year I think, which will be shipped from UK. Can't wait to see it! Though I don't actually hold one ukulele yet, I managed to see all the videos of "BOOSTER UKE" today, which is absolutely fantastic!! I really like your teaching style, and the method differentiating from a traditional way, they are very useful! I've looked at the catalog of all the courses, and listened to some of the broadcasts, we can really learn a lot. Here I have 2 questions~~ is the "Ukulele X" focusing more on ukulele fingerstyles? (I found that you've shown how to play ukulele percusson in Billie Jean, it's so cool!) Also, will there be any possibilities that you will open the course about Jazz Standard songs in Ukulele fingerstyle in the future? (Like some from Lyle Ritz's version, for example, how to play "Fly me to the moon", or "Lulu's back in town" with more bonus! ~ ) Ooooh I also want to thank you! Fooor leading me to the doorway of exploring this beautiful instrument~~!
