Maggie Matthews what angle do you put your fingers on the frets? mine also makes dead notes and i just wanna know what to do stop that. maybe it’s the way i’m positioning my fingers
I've only watched 10 minutes of this and I have learned so much more than all those other confusing videos this is really helpful (pandemic I can't go out for lessons) got a ukulele for Christmas. thank you for explaining it so I can understand it was having a problem trying to figure out were my fingers go and how to switch them hope to see more of your videos this is the best ukulele lesson on RUclips 😇
Great tutorial 👌 you actually know your stuff, first you pronounced ukulele correctly unlike a lot of so called masters and what is uke? Do you know what that means in Hawaiian? 😅 I see you play a kamaka , nice these other guys play walwart specials!keep going brah🤙
Finger tip instead of finder pad is going to change my world Only beed playing for a week and have been using the pad with less than inspiring results😅
I guess I have the wrong fingertips. I have been practicing for one year and I have legitimate calluses, and cut my nails as far back as possible, and I still can’t fingertip the cords, without leaving gaps. As for my reach, I have small hands and I have trouble getting the first and second string to ring clear because my handSqueezes the first string during most cards. I have trouble changing cards because I lose grip of the back of the neck when I press my thumb onto the middle of the back of the neck. Nothing holds onto the neck during chord changes when my fingers are all up in the air.
@@Ukelikethepros it’s small. The fretboard neck is 10.5 inches and the width at the neck where the head starts is 3/8”. I don’t have a strap or a place to hook one on. Thank you.
This guy takes his time to explain and walk right through with precision on each step explaining the cause of our flaws in finger placement and strumming 5 stars to this gentleman 👍
I get that you want to leave space between the neck and your hand butI don't use a strap and it helps to support the neck if I rest it on the hand between the thumb and first finger. How wrong is this?
Stephen, this is a great question. Even if you don't use a strap you want to use the forearm/elbow of your strumming arm to hold the ukulele. By resting the ukulele in between your thumb and first finger, at least for me limits the range and dexterity I have when playing chords or notes. It also limits my fluidity as I'm moving up and down the ukulele neck. Hope this helps.
Alright you are explaining the chord that are fairly easy I was looking forward to see how to transition between impossible chords like b major g major.
I was doing great until he introduced two and three finger chords 💀
same TvT
So true..
why do i keep getting dead notes???
SAME
I know your not press hard enough on it

Thank you so much. This is the first video where I have seen such in depth explanation of how to hold a chord. Brilliant! Subscribed.
You make learning fun !
Deborah, thank you for the nice comment and watching the video.
My uke is causing a buzzing sound for F and G chord, idk what's wrong. I feel kind I'm positioning the finger correctly but idk :/
I sincerely appreciate your teaching style. You have given me quite a good foundation. I’ll be following your lessons. Thank you so much!
Is there a specific way to press down the string? I feel like I'm pressing too hard and the string isnt vibrating.
Bro same here
Im 13 and a beginier uke player and i watched this but im still confused
Keep watching and keep practicing it will all make sense with more time.
Great tutorial 👌 you actually know your stuff, first you pronounced ukulele correctly unlike a lot of so called masters and what is uke? Do you know what that means in Hawaiian? 😅 I see you play a kamaka , nice these other guys play walwart specials!keep going brah🤙
I think it works but my nails are too short so its really hard for me to hold it-
Thank you so much i can actually hear the chords now because before they wouldnt make any noise
You have improved my fingers & chords positions. It sound so crisp. Thank you!!!

Confusing that you changed the first string to a base one and didn't mention that.
Your a hero
Thank you

I understand. What size ukulele are you playing and are you using a strap?

Awesome. Great job. Keep up the hard work
What should I do when I’m trying to place my finger for E but I can’t put even pressure for each finger because it’s so awkward hand placement?
