    For all the guitarist who want the ukulele experience without purchasing a ukulele just put a capo on the 5th fret of your guitar and do not play the E or A string, bam, you have a ukulele

    I have been a guitarist for many years but just got a uke a couple of months ago. Loving it! Much easier to play finger-picked melodies with chords but it takes a while to get the fact that D and A shapes on uke are actually G and D into your brain!

  • @hopefulhyena3400
    @hopefulhyena3400 3 года назад +7

    One thing that's important for guitarists to know coming to ukulele is that while the less strings means a lot of chords are simpler, it also means that playing melodies takes a lot more movement up and down the neck as opposed to across it. Because of the high g string, you are working with 3 strings for melody instead of the 6 you have on guitar.

    I switched from guitar and bass to focusing more and more on ukulele about 5 years ago and I love it. I really enjoy the challenge of doing something interesting on an instrument with a much more limited range and after a few decades of wrestling with heavy solidbodies, I have to admit it's nice to play something small and light. If you're used to linear tuning, reentrant can be a little hard to get your head around so for guitarists looking to try uke, I think it might be best to either start on one that has a low G string or on a baritone uke, which is tuned the same as the four highest strings on a guitar and if you want to hear what the instrument is really capable of, I'd recommend listening to Jake Shimabukuro, Taimane and Kalei Gamiao.

    Hey cool! I actually graduated from uke to a six string back in high school. I recall tuning to be same as the top four strings on a guitar but maybe I learned something!? I remember on the chord chart for my new guitar I was amazed that in most cases all I had to do was add the bass notes in my guitar shapes vs uke shapes.
    One hit recording I remember that featured a uke was BJ Thomas hit Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head. Was a Burt Bacharach song featured in the movie Butch Cassidy/Sundance Kid, backed by The Wrecking Crew on uke I believe.

    Hi! Can you recommend a uke around $150-200 that doesn’t have a blunt edge? I am a beginner with a concert sized uke, and the uke I have is literally digging into my right forearm while strumming causing painful marks/bruises. I’ve experimented with various positioning, but I’ve concluded that it’s not the positioning that’s my problem, but the instrument’s design and the blunt edge where the side meets the top - no matter how I position, my forearm hits a corner one way or another. I am thinking that something with a more rounded edge would resolve the issue. Can you recommend some options? I’d really like a concert size, preferably an acoustic-electric. Thanks in advance!

    If you want a Ukelele but can't afford one you can actually tune your guitar high enough (I think, it works for me) so that its justice one the tuning is
    A D G C E A and you'll notice the last 4 strings are just like a Ukelele and the last two are also from the standard guitar tuning, the best part about this tuning is its just like a guitar so you can play all those chords you already knew! I just discovered this myself like a few hours ago and I've never seen anyone ever mention it before which is wierd, probably cause their strings break? Like I said my guitar is doing fine but id say he careful as I think I almost broke my strings trying to yune it lol

    A baritone uke plays exactly like a guitar without the two bass strings - same chord shapes, same keys. So everything you learn on a baritone translates directly to guitar skills. But it's way easier on the fingers and easier to form chords.

      Coleman Sines kinda like asking to hear Louis Armstrong play a trombone.
