    I am an example of one who had printed off one of those visual aids that really didn't sink in until I completed your 5th lesson! 😁I was pleasantly surprised to learn how easy it was to learn the notes beyond the 5th fret... in theory! Now, the challenge will be to put the theory into the actual playing. I know that I've said it before, but I really do learn well with your teaching style. Perfect amount of information in palatable and digestible pieces. The play-alongs really do help to train the brain and build muscle memory.

    Thanks again for a great lesson to help me learn to use my new u-bass. I would like a visual view of the u-bass fretboard notes. As a scientist and engineer I thrive on visual aids as summaries, so it would help me greatly. Surprisingly, there are very few good examples out on the big bad internet, so I’d be keen to see what you have in mind.

    Another great lesson Rachel. You’re quite correct I’m very cocky about the notes on the E & A strings, but ask me about D&G and get that look on my face.
    I’m only playing “survival” bass (root and 5th) at the moment in our little 3 man Uke band but it makes a huge difference.
    Thanks again.

      It feels like the right time to progress a little further and I’m intrigued to learn about “survival bass (root and fifth).

    Hi Rachel, super lesson again! Thank you! Although I am a bit confused about the fingerin. I have not played with one finger, but with all four. Now in this video you play the first fret with the index finger and then you move and play the second fret with yout index, then middle finger and then ring and little finger together.I assume that that is the correct way of doing it? Right?

    • @UkuleleWales
      @UkuleleWales  Год назад +1

      Thanks. Yes I do try and encourage moving around the fretboard in a logical way (if that makes sense?), so will often move up with my first finger so my other fingers can reach high notes. I do intend to do some more lessons looking at both right and left had techniques soon and I try and talk about this more. 👍

    Rachel. A question about playing along with the Ukulaliens and other tunes; in many of the songs where there are CGF or ADG chords, I have been using a barre on the 3rd and 5th frets for what I take as simplicity. Is this OK when playing a bass uke, or is it de rigeur to move the middle or ring finger across the fretboard in turn? Apologies if I have not expressed my question lucidly.

    • @UkuleleWales
      @UkuleleWales  3 года назад +1

      Hi Alan, as long as the string is being pressed down enough to sound properly. It's someting I wouldn't do and you may find in the future it might hinder you "walking" around with your fingers but really, whatever works for you.

      Hi, there are a few basses that have the fret marker on the 10th. Basses do normally have it on the 9th but ukuleles normally have it on the 10th and I have a couple like that too. You just need to remember where it is.
