    Thank you, Kevin. My beautiful mom just passed at the age of 91. She left me her Baritone Ukulele. I remember playing this as a child. I love the sound. I am looking forward to watching more of your beginners videos.

      CMeaganMichael, I recently read that good wood Ukes will last an average of 2 generations.

    An excellent, very easy to follow ( appropriate speed) intro to this instrument. Might take me a little time to adjust from GCEA to bari but has excited me - even at age 80!!

    This is perfect for someone like me, who has never played any musical instruments. It’s exactly what I was looking for, everything from how to hold it properly, to some chords where you feel like you got this. Looking forward to the next lessons.

      @@oOcitizenOo I bought cheap ukulele for my kids in general store 3 months ago (soprano version). Kids got bored with it fast so I started to play on it. When was looking for yt tutorials I realised that something like Baritone ukulele exists. I loved the warm sound of this instrument since the first moment I heard it. A month a go I bought one. I also considered buying tenor for a while but the tuning of baritone is better for what I like to play.
      I'm curious, have you bought anything?

    My Handcrafted Baritone Ukulele is being made right now by a Luthier in Central Luzon in the Philippines 🇵🇭. 2nd generation Luthier with over 30 years experience. Kently Morales. Awesome, man, beautiful instrument. Made of Acacia, dried for 5 years before creating. Acacia is what Koa is. 120 hours to make. 😊

    Excellent video. I am actually coming from the other direction. I have been a basic guitar strummer all my life. Nothing fancy just something to accompany me when I sing. Being 71 now, arthritis has made it a little harder to play the guitar. SO, I thought I would try uke. I went to a music store and tried a few out. Normal uke(Soprano, Tenor, Concert), not with these fat fingers, So I bought a baritone.. The good news is that I don't have to worry about tuning, in fact it is easy with two less strings to worry about, With good news, there is always bad news. I know how to play those chords with 6 strings, but, there are those pesky two less strings getting even, teaching this old dog new tricks with my left hand and trying to do it with only 4, is fun. Watching you work thru this and following you will be a big help. Thanks for the video.

    At 13:30 - Play along chord progressions

    • @BirdWhisperer46
      @BirdWhisperer46 4 года назад

      @@AllForUke Kevin, I watch uke sites most of every day, or is that "I watch uke sites every day for most of each day"? The first thing I noticed in most of them are all the ukes arrayed behind the OP. They all seem to have several, some, a dozen or more, so I guess I won't be too ashamed to tell you all that after only 0ne month, I now have 5 ukes, 3 tenors and 2 baritones. HAHAHA The Baritone I mentioned last week, my first, is a Kmise Baritone. And do not blow off Kmise and say "who". From what my untrained ear can detect, the Kmise sound better than brands like Kala and Oscar Schmidt. I own all 3. The real difference is playability. The other Baritone, a Zirikote Kala, has more finger room on the neck and is now my go to baby. It makes learning the chords fun and easy.
      BTW, if you check your websites hits, you'll probably notice I am here for hours every day. I have checked out everyone else's sites too, but, yours is most informative and I learn more here. I wish I could afford lessons.

I am a slow learner so would be nice if you could put a print out of the chords and strumming pattern, that way I could just look at the sheet and practice , practice till I get it, and go over and over each lesson with out having to use the computer all the time,, I can learn but because of mental problems it takes me much longer than most.

    I'm excited to learn how to play the baritone ukulele that a friend gifted to me. I love the vibe of your video. As someone who is 100% unfamiliar with its cords and strings though, I would find it really helpful if your camera shot showed an upclose shot of the finger positions you're talking about. I'm not really sure what you're doing up top there. Is your finger pad on just one string or is your finger laying across all the strings, etc? Hopefully I'll get the hang of this.

    Hey wait a minute, got a low G tenor, just tune it down 4 tones and I'm away, when the pennies add up I will be able to play that new baritone as soon as I get it

    Thank you!!! I am so excited to finally learn to play my father's ukulele...I am 52 years old and I finally decided to learn to play this amazing baritone ukulele. He gave it to me a few years ago but it wasn't until today that I pulled it from it's case and sat down in front of your youtube lessons and learned to tune it and play it. I remember it sitting in my father's closet when I was a little girl and I would get it out and strum it. I was so little that I thought it was a guitar (it seemed big to me). But I have since learned what it really is. (And it's a C.F. Martin and Co). And now, you have brought life to the memories of a ukulele I remember as a child, in the bottom of my father's closet, and given me power to create beautiful music! Once again, thank you!!!

    Recommend using a strap, right from the start. Posture and instrument orientation is key

    My aunt just sent me her bari uke due to arthritis messing up her ability to play. This has been very helpful for someone with zero experience.
    Now I just need to stop trying to thumb strum... :)
