Diatonic scales are major scale and it’s relative natural minor and other moods like dorian etc. I keep things simple as possible and talk only in terms C/Am in here. What is also most natural one to ukulele players, thinking in C. The chords are in C/Am: C, Dm, Em, F, G, Am and Bdim triad. I...

Sometimes a song if your voice is a bit range limited like mine, does not seem suited to a key of a song, playing with ukulele. If uke makes me feel like its too low, I can take my classical guitar made baritone with stripping the bass E and A strings and sing a tune with using same chord...

If we think of our ukuleles and many times they are laminate tops and not so good quality. The standard movable 4442, what ever played can't really produce much strong E note on these. Now I don’t like blues and don’t think our ukuleles can really perform that well, except in home situations...

I used to find Martin M600 fluorocarbon strings in my home city. Not anymore. I also searched Thomann huge internet store and could only find Martin baritone uke strings M630. It makes me think/suspect that the production, at least fluorocarbon strings, has been ceased?

I have been putting off learning it, but I should really start. Just as an interesting comparison, I compare it's range to ukulele. As an accompaniment. And common ranges in general. Standard re-entrant GCEA ukulele with 15 frets covers a range of C4 to C6. It is the range of a human soprano...

I missed the metal file I used as a 16-25 year old when I played classical guitar as an amateur. I was not that bad, but I never got any education of a nail care. Playing these days mainly ukulele and I have used those cheap sandpaper files. They suck in feel, compared to this glass file I...

This is quite late for this winter, but anyways the humidity is still quite low and my ukulele buzzed because of a low action. Especially when soloing harder, but also strumming. It buzzed also in summer, but less. Kala Ka-Cem has a saddle bone width of about 2.9 mm and length of 53 mm. Before...

I as a daily practice use these chord sequences and transpose them to all 12 signatures. C/Am: C G Am F C Em Dm G C Em Dm7 G7 C F G7 Am Dm E7 C Am F G This is a nice tool. https://www.chordchanger.com/ It will give you the ukulele chords also in traditional diagrams, though one can use...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OEog_2dyKw This guy is playing a $50 Makala and $5000 Martin as a comparison. That Martin is vintage and we do know that guitar type instruments don't get better with age, but rather age. Also I think he has added some reverb maybe to the recordings, so it I...

And about fretboard scales too. The purpose was to check at first the low G tuning. I have a classical guitar Shubb capo, which I put on my 5th fret. I noticed that it was somewhat lacking in high notes like maybe too mellow and a somewhat booming when strumming, but totally nice if...

Google, Youtube, whatever search I don't like see his over spirited act and I know there are other people whose teaching videos I would like to see much more. I had my limit today sigh :(

Now that I have got my chords down in all 12 (24 with minors) keys, it was time to try this gadget, without fear of it becoming a crutch to my playing. https://ortegaguitars.com/product-finder/accessory/accessory-item/show/Product/oushk-br/oushk-br/ I don't like to hold my uke low. I am a...

I noticed now that we have summer in Finland, one of the northmost countries, my ukulele though being all laminated sounds without any buzz even when I play single notes hard. Being laminate I certainly didn't bother at winter time with humidifiers. But it has nice low action and was buzzing...

Myself and I know it not as popular, but from my guitar pick time, I have always kept my fingers straight. I am quite basic to tell the truth, but anyways for something like muting strings etc. to me always this approach just feels natural. I have wondered if there are any disadvantages, like...

For me it is the darn Dm. Time and time again I find playing relaxed and not all notes sounding out, unless I concentrate. The 2210 fingering. Time and time again I find out that either I'm not pressing the D root before the fret or if I do then the 3rd, F does not get pressed enough, or not...

In my country we have a lots moll songs, Dm6 is often in song chords. Now I can't get the 2212 chord without some thumb to put under neck, that is changing the usual left hand uke hold. It it is quite difficult. Easier and ok is 4210, also the same Dm6 chord. But what I have found sometimes...
