    Interesting that Justin started these lessons just as I got my first Uke. There are a couple of good playalong practice apps which cost a couple of bucks but show you how to play a few basic songs with different strumming patterns etc. I think Learn Ukulele in 7 days is one to investigate.

    Hi. I really appreciate your lessons. I bought a uke several years ago and after a few days i put it away. Today i picked it up and found your instructions here and i feel like ive got some hope again. thank you for all your hard work getting these videos made.

    @APS129 11 лет назад +4

    A uke is essentially placing a capo on the 5th fret of the guitar and playing the thinnest 4 strings (although the top string of a uke is an octave higher than the note that's on a cappoed guitar)

    I always found the G-chord most interesting because even the minor and dominant open chords are the same shapes as the D-chord on guitar. Not just G-major. This is a good memory tip for beginners transitioning from guitar

  • @RedJester93
    @RedJester93 9 лет назад +1

    Got my first uke today, i got a tenor which feels like the perfect size coming from guitar. Your videos are so helpful! You seem to be everywhere, this morning I was watching your video on how to play sunny afternoon on guitar, when was buying the uke I saw one of your books on the shelf, and now im watching your uke tutorials!

    • @SolarMumuns
      @SolarMumuns 2 года назад

      As a guitarist, I would say using the 4th finger wouldn't be great as you would be trapping your 3rd finger unnecessarily. Much more comfortable with the 3rd. That said, fingerings are sometimes a matter of preference.

  • @shadowseeker789
    @shadowseeker789 7 лет назад

    So question on ukulele strings which are a generally excepted gauge I've been playing guitar for awhile now and even extended range and other things and i use pretty heavy strings (mainly on the seven because i tune to Drop G) so is there any "For Beginners" pack or is it just a preference thing with no real difference?

    Honestly, he was moving to fast for me. So, I saw an add, on this video, for an app called yousician. It's awesome. I already know how to play a song, and I just started today. It's for ukulele, guitar, bass, and piano. Sorry Justin, Yousician stole your thunder.

    • @aurelijarazanauskaite5083
      @aurelijarazanauskaite5083 8 лет назад +2

      HappyHopie Honestly,Yousician is way better than any RUclips lessons since it explains everything more clearly(for me).Ive had guitars,ukuleles,pianos, accordions,clarinets,trumpets and violins in my life.It helps so much better than this
