I was sitting at the computer. Your program came on without me doing anything about learning the Fretboard. I am a pianist, organist and play accordion and lastly ukulele. I am running out of time am 78 yrs of age but keep music ongoing. I have always wanted to know the names of the keys on the fretboard. After Listening for the first time ever your wonderful presentation sent the light bulb to my brain and I caught the things everything and I was on cloud nine for this info that for many years bothered me not knowing and this will stick the rest of the time God keeps me here. It all clicked and I am just ecstatic and am going to tune in on all your lessons I am a new follower. I just loved your presentation you use words that make concepts stick. THANK YOU FOR REACHING OUT TO THE WORLD ABOUT THE UKE I have never had formal lessons on like the other three instruments. All I have to say it is never to late.
Thank you Virginia!
I was in the same position and just could not get my head around notes on a fretboard. I a keyboard player to but this tutorial has really helped 🙏good luck with your playing
You have a gift of explaining complicated stuff to something interesting, fascinating, simple and logical. Thank you so much, Phil.
Great Video very helpful!🙂
could you explain me what he was talking about at 13:37 i am beginner with uku i didnt get that c chord part
@@anasahmad5415 Sorry, I didn't see this post until now! All I'm doing at that point is playing lots of different combinations of the notes C, E and G, because those three notes make a C chord wherever you play them.
Many, many thanks!
I agonized over memorizing the whole fingerboard several times
and finally just gave up on the whole business.
Now it suddenly makes sense.
This is one of the most useful youtube videos ever.
Thanks, I'm really glad it helped!
In a sea of RUclips content where a whole lot of stuff is click bait or a waste of time, every once in a while you come across a video that you watch the whole way through on the first go and it just plain makes things **click.** This video was that for me…! You are a very talented teacher with a knack for making things simple, but not oversimplifying them. Bravo! 👏 👏 👏
Thank you!
THANK YOU! I've been playing uke for over 20 years and not knowing the notes has always been my shame. This was extremely helpful.
The man's a wizard!
Also helps that the fifth fret and seventh fret are whole notes, so you can create a mnemonic for those starting with the letters. Like for eg "Cheer For A Deer" and "Don't Go Before Evening"
Yes, good one!
I'm gonna be watching this video several times because the whole video is very informative. And, you've answered many questions I've had about playing the Ukulele. I've often wondered if there was a pattern such as the one you have more or less "uncovered" and shown to us, here. TYSM for explaining all this to us. Hope you're still making videos. 👍
This is without doubt the most sense and easiest way to learn the fretboard imo,this is the first video ive seen breaking it down simply,it surprisingly made it so more interesting to learn this way,thanks.
Thank You ! I was getting frustrated with others complicated explanations
Coming late to the Uke (60) this was really informative.
Good video, I didn't want to be stressed and I was able to remain calm, breathing easily and keeping the heart rate down. I wondered what the noise was and I realized I was snoring.
Glad I helped you get some rest ;-)
Thank you Sir, I am a young student of 56. I am very much fascinated with your lesson. This is RUclips who helped me to get a great teacher like you. Thanks a lot.
Oh my !!! Ive been learning the uku for a couple of months and had never realised this before !! Thank you so much it was really enlightning ❤
Thank you sooooo much! My ears were starting to bleed from my x teaching me this!
You explained it beautifully.
Phil there are many excellent teachers around but personally I find your teachings the best
Thank you David!
Mr Doleman, you are a genius!
You have no idea how much help you’re giving me. So many lightbulbs lighting up at long, long last!
Learning basic piano theory makes this so much easier. But this video helped clarify stuff
OmG has a guitar teacher for 2 years never explained it to me all make sense penny drop mate you just changed music for me get on it
I love the CLARITY with which you present your tutorials, along with your personality. Thank you!
Thank you!
the best teachers are effective teachers… and you sir are effective… thank you!
You changed the way I aproach the ukulele in under 17minutes, well done
All of a sudden it makes sense. Thank you so much.
Well - for any guitarist there is a shortcut: the standard tuned uke has the same notes as the standard tuned guitar starting from fret five - the upper four strings. If you see it this way and already have an idea about how the guitar is tuned - this might help.
Oh my goodness! By George I got it!! Thank you😊
Beautiful job! Thank you. A few mnemonics to help find your way about: The 2 notes at the 4th fret are BEfour (B and E on the fourth fret). The notes at the 5th fret are Cats Fight All Dogs(CFAD) -and- at the 7th fret are DoGBonE (DGBE). This helped me.
I like those!
A couple more I came up with that at least work for me (though admittedly bizarre, but that tends to help memorizing mnemonics): All Dogs FisstBump twice (Fiss = F#; twice for 2nd fret); 10 FAissDoGs (Aiss = A#; 10th fret).
@@dorktwat Cool, often the more bizarre ones are the best, much easier to remember!
I’m truly a novice when it comes to the Uke…i picked it up last year as part of me “ trying to deal with the pandemic” . I can play tons of notes and tunes now but honestly, I haven’t a clue about the fret board or chords. After watching this…I feel like another world has been opened up for me. Truly a master class for dummies ( talking about myself here 😬✌️) . Thank you for providing the “ key” I was missing and for making “ music theory” so digestible. Looking forward to putting theory into practice! 👏👏👏👏🇨🇦
Thanks Phil for teaching so simply so us newbies can understand x
@@hazelmacgregor4355 Wondering why you attached your comment to Kathleen's comment...
A masterclass ! What a great teacher Phil is.
Been trying to understand my uke's fretboard for a while but all the diagrams I find online are overwhelming. This video is brilliant !! So well explained and fun to follow. You've got a new subscriber here, I'm off to watch more of your videos xx Thank you :)
Thanks!
Great lesson! Well done ☺️ thank you
Here's another trick that helps me know the notes at the dot markers on the fretboard. Ukuleles almost always have dots at frets 5, 7, 10, and 12. As Phil explained, the notes at fret 12 are the same names as the open string notes but an octave higher, so you don't need any mnemonic to remember them. If you know the arrangement of chord names on the Circle of Fifths around C, then you can easily remember the notes at dots 5, 7, and 10. The note to the left (counter-clockwise) of C is F and to the right of C is G. The Circle is constructed so that the note to the left of a root note is "a fourth" higher, which is musical lingo for 5 frets higher in pitch. The note to the right of a root note is "a fifth" higher, which is 7 frets higher in pitch. So starting with C on the open 3rd string, the note at fret 5 dot on the 3rd string is F and at fret 7 is G. Fret 10 is 2 times 5 frets higher than the root note C, so fret 10 on the C string is two places to the left of C on the Circle, which is Bb. Applying this to all 4 strings gives you the note names at each of these 3 dot markers. This may seem cumbersome at first, but if you have a mental image of the Circle of Fifths around the C note, it comes quickly to mind. If you don't know the Circle of Fifths, which has so many other uses in music, watch a video about it, such as the one by Phil ruclips.net/video/abVbEA0tRnI/видео.html .
