  • Опубликовано: 12 авг 2024
  • New Ukulele Tutorials every Wednesday and Saturday, susbcribe and learn!
    Today my friends we are starting our journey passed Ukulele players and moving towards becoming more complete musicians. We are going to examine how to read sheet music and convert them into Ukulele tabs. This series will be a four part series that will cover the entire month of March.
    In this first lesson we will learn what the notes on the staff are, the time divisions, whole, half, quarter and eighth, for both our notes and our rests, what 4/4 time signature is and at the end we will play a little melody together in the key of C to see if we learned how to read sheet music. Learning and developing these skills will also help you in the area of music theory as well. So, it is a win win, learning sheet music for the Ukulele is also a study in music theory for the Ukulele!
    Ever week we are going to add a skill so make sure to tune in every Wednesday for the month so we can build our musical skills together!

    Maybe I just need to watch more to find out, but are your finger placements for each note (eg. For C Scale) have to be like that? Like, let's say the chord D need your fingers to be placed on the 2nd fret of G, 2nd fret of C, and 2nd fret of E (in the strings).
    If it is, does that mean I can just take note of the finger placements and then baam, I can read sheet music?

  • @kx160

    Can you tell me which video of the series tells me how to read sheet music for chords?
    I see that there are four notes on one spot for a chord, but how do I know which note applies to which string? Or do I have to try and figure out that myself somehow? How would I translate those four notes to tabs?

    • @TenThumbsProductions
      @TenThumbsProductions  4 года назад

      You would start with the lowest note. So let's say the notes are C E G making a C chord and the C is the lowest frequency on the sheet music, that would be the lowest note in your chord and you would work your way up from there.

    Question: Why is G always played on the third fret of E string instead of plucking the individual first string (GCEA) as in the case of C?

    • @Cybrtronlazr
      @Cybrtronlazr 4 года назад

      because it's in the same octave. octaves are a set of eight notes occupying the interval between two of the same notes. So you know how you started and ended with a "C." Well, both of those are in the same octave. However, the "G" string would be in a separate octave written in sheet music than the G you play on third fret "E." You can also test this and see that both sound different, (i believe the G string is higher pitched than the third fret E). I hope this helped a bit. I know basic music theory, if you have more questions you can ask.

      @NeetoleMitra 4 года назад

      @@Cybrtronlazr thanks for taking the time to reply. It made sense till I played the instrument to realize that both Gs - third fret one and 4th string one - are the same pitch (hence octave). Your explanation could be true for a low g stringed ukulele maybe.

    Hey, thanks for making the music theory vids. I totally forgot everything I ever knew about music theory from decades ago. Recently I've decided to get a ukulele and just practice it every day before work and maybe also before I go to bed. I did not want to set a strict goal or stress myself out by being overly ambitious, so my only goal right now is to casually practice the uke whenever I have some spare time and upload a progress video every month for a year.
    I have been studying a lot of your music theory vids as I have been waiting for my uke in the mail. I am pleased to say that I now have my very first ukulele and my very first ukulele video. At the following link is my ukulele starter kit unboxing vid:

    That’s not how to read in the key of C! Only the C scale is possibly the key of C. The last sunshine song is just plain old sight reading of the notes!

    • @TenThumbsProductions
      @TenThumbsProductions  Год назад

      There seems to be a lot of confusion on your part as to how this works, hopefully this will help to clear up your doubts.
      1. "That’s not how to read in the key of C!"
      - Actually, that is exactly how you read music in the key of C
      2. "Only the C scale is possibly the key of C"
      - I am assuming you meant to say "Only the C scale is possible to use when the key signature is C" but I am not quite sure as your grammar is jumbled. I think you meant to write "possible" instead of the adverb "possibly", are referring to the key signature of C?
      For argument sake we will say you were intending to say "You can only use the C scale when the key signature is C" and if that is what you were trying to say, that is also wrong.
      After C major you can use the key signature for D Dorian, E Phrygian, F Lydian, G Mixolydian, A Aeolian (the relative minor and by far the most common after C Major a.k.a. C Ionian) and lastly, the super dissonant, B Locrian.
      Still, let's say that isn't even what you were trying to say, let's assume you were literally saying that if the key signature is C then I am limited to C D E F G A and B notes, that is also incorrect. With accidentals I can use any of the 12 notes that exist in western music in all 12 major and minor key signatures as well as their respective modal harmony.
      3. "The last sunshine song is just plain old sight reading of the notes!" Sight READING is simply reading music on the fly. So to say that isn't how you read music, then to say that is just site reading, contradicts your already vague idea..
      I hope that helped any confusion that you had, have a nice day.
