    please remember, if you get a new ukulele with nylon strings, the strings will have to stretch before they stay in tune. to do this, just tune it correctly once, and then strum it up and down for awhile. you will start to notice that the notes are going flat. just tune it back up correctly again, and keep playing. you will have to keep repeating this for about half an hour or so, but after that you should start to notice that they keep the correct note much longer. tune it slowly, new strings are fragile.

    How to know if a G string is out of tune:
    Step 1: Get an emo
    Step 2: Play the string. If they aren't crying in a matter of seconds, it's out of tune.

    IDK why, but this just doesn't work. my ukulele isn't tuned right, and it doesn't sound good at ALL. it sounds like Danielle Cohn trying to hit a high note, and you KNOW how bad that is.

    Great video. Of all the tuning videos I've seen on RUclips (when I can't find my tuner, and want to be spot on) for bass, guitar, ukulele, violin, etc. This one is the best. Right to it, no waiting, and gives a graphic showing how to tune from string to string. Thanks for being the most logical tune video creator on RUclips.

      Yes totally agree. I like how they keep playing the string so you can tune faster. Unlike other videos that take their sweet time.
