    This is the best version I’ve found of this song so far!!! It’s hard finding rock and metal songs for the uku that also have a pretty accurate strumming pattern to go with it so thank you!!! Definitely subbed and looking forward to more videos from your channel! 🤗

    • @ukecando
      @ukecando  4 года назад +1

      thanks coasterfreak729! yeah, bar chords are tricky. some tips:
      (1) turn your left-hand index finger (when holding down the bar) a little towards the left (towards the tuning pegs) as this uses more of the side of your finger which can be a bit straighter
      (2) make sure your thumb is directly behind your index finger to allow a good squeeze
      (3) practice playing along to the original with the youtube speed set to 50% or 75% and aim for a good sound, this will build a 'muscle memory' so that after a few days you can play at full speed with your eyes closed!

    Is there any trick to the c minor? I just for the life of mine can’t get a grip on it, literally; it‘s just too hard to keep pressing on all the strings and using the third finger on the last one at the same time, I always let loose on the bar part :(

    • @ukecando
      @ukecando  4 года назад

      thanks that's a very good question, I find bars tricky too (always getting thrown out of them ;) heh, seriously my tips are 1. support the bar by squeezing the neck with your thumb directly behind the bar. 2. relax the wrist down 3. practice bars every day to improve your grip, hope this helps!

    • @ukecando
      @ukecando  7 лет назад +1

      RaLe1617 thanks! To find chords I normally go to Google and search for the 'song name' chords e.g. SOAD toxicity chords. Can also search for tab instead of chords if it's a guitar song. For the strumming pattern its normally trial and error after listening to the rhythm, I'm curious - what's the name of a song you'd like to learn?

    How come the notes you play on this with ukulele is different from the notation from the guitar? From what I am aware of with the guitar it is tuned to a D standard with Drop C. So when I tried to play it on the Ukulele I followed the same notation that is with guitar. But this one it seems like you are playing a step down and out of key.

    • @ukecando
      @ukecando  3 года назад

      Hi Mike, the way I think of it is that the highest 4 guitar strings (E,B,G,D) at fret 5 are the same as the ukulele (A,E,C,G). So you can play uke songs on guitar if you add 5 frets. For example, if you see uke tab for the first string fret 3, this is the same as the guitar first string fret 3+5 = 8. If you whack a capo on the 5th fret of your guitar (or improvise with a pencil and some rubber bands) you can easily play uke tab on your guitar! Hope this helps.

      Hey Antonio, it's never too late to learn! Is the challenge with the bar chords? (They are tricky) if so maybe try starting with barring the top two strings only with your first finger, turning your wrist a little to the left (to help use the side of your finger) and squeeze with the thumb behind the neck of the uke. Hope this helps :)
