I dont really understand how this ties together, so would appreciate any and all input here ...
If I am playing a song in the key of C, that's on a uke tuned to C right and no capo used... as far as I understand it that means I should be singing in C as well. That's troubling, because how the heck is one supposed to know in what key you are singing ? Up until now I havnt worried and just sung as "sounded right". So how do I identify which key that I sing in, and is it only possible to sing in C? What happens if I sing in B or D? Can I lower the C to an octave lower?
Lots of questions here, but I have zero musical background and most videos and texts online seem to presume a certain level of knowledge and thus they fly right over my head.
Another question, related to the tunings of ukes, can one play a song in D with a ukulele tuned to C without the use of a capo?
Does this post make any sense? I am not sure, but then again I am confused over this matter ...
Thanks!
