      Thanks for your comments. Glad you enjoyed the video. I have also done one about playing the notorious Bflat major chord and found a way which helps me and hopefully others also! Best wishes Timothy

    Thanks for all your comments. It just came to me in a flash of inspiration. I love playing the ukulele and am also learning to play keyboards and learning the rudiments of music theory. I want to write my own songs. Best wishes Timothy

    I kinda feel like watching a vhs in the 90s... hahaha but it's a good video, good explanation

    You are adorable! Thank you so much for these great tips. I just started playing and it seems a lot of youtube beginner ukulele tutorials assume that the watcher has some knowledge of the instrument they are playing and I have NO experience playing a string instrument or what the basic chords are. Thank you for your enthusiasm and instruction.

    The idea to make a film about how to play the soprano ukulele from scratch just came to me in a flash of inspiration and I am so glad I did. Its such a convenient instrument to carry around, and with only 4 strings is somewhat easier than playing the guitar.

    You do an excellent job of communicating your expertise to the viewer. Can I tune a soprano ukelele in the
    chicago style? If so, what would be the advantage?

    • @icingonthetapeok

      Hi thanks for your comment, Chicago style, I wonder, I'll try and find out.

    I'm curious are you holding the ukulele in the left hand like me and playing it with the right hand?
    Because my sound is there.
    But the notes aren't playing smooth.
    I wonder if it's the tuning or my stroking?

    • @icingonthetapeok
      @icingonthetapeok  3 года назад +2

      Hi, I am holding it in my left hand and strumming with my right! Best wishes Timothy

    Is there a certain way to hold the hand with the F chord? My middle keeps silencing the C string.

    • @MrFrampo56
      @MrFrampo56 3 года назад +1

      Try to fret the strings with your fingers perpendicular, not at an angle. That is to say, the finger should be at right angles to the fretboard, just behind the fret. It’s easier if you have slim, dainty fingers. I haven’t , but it can still be done. Play each note in the chord separately to make sure you’re not accidentally muting any of the strings.

    The tuner doesn't even look on...

    • @MrFrampo56
      @MrFrampo56 3 года назад

      Yes, it’s slightly out of tune too. He is a beginner himself but trying to help others. Pretty basic stuff for an absolute beginner
