Aguado study for uke (Craig Brandau)

Ruukie · Jul 10, 2010

Found this Aguado study at Craig Brandau's website (through a facebook link from a video answer) which reminds me on my old guitar times. So I put 2 versions of it on youtube as well:

Thanks for watching right away. Have fun with classical uke

Tell him we want more!

Classical on the uke is just so perfect and charming sounding.

Wow, I love both! Very relaxing

Actually, I have plenty that I've yet to learn... They can take some time to get underneath one's fingers. The classical arrangements that are most precious to me are his originals that he composes for the ukulele.

Wow! So much response on UU, never expected that ... thanks all.
I'm really excited what Howard finally says to it all.

Hey Turtle

... good joke! Your version is fine as well. It's timed for allegro, so you're right and I'm presto or something. But UKE is free, no reglementations, simply free. That's so wonderful!

Floyd Blue · Jul 11, 2010

Here's my humble attempt, declared as practising. It's not half as good as all your version, but my cat's nice... :cheers:

And it's in high G.

You guys should try Howard's, "Summer's End" that I have posted. It's got a ton of pretty and cool chords one can use later on.

Yes, pretty nice chords. I took a look at them and decided to do it the next weeks.
Thank Craig,
Jens (ruukie)

I gave it a try and it sounds very sweet on a reentrant tuned uke.

I will learn it properly at summer's end...

Thanks for sharing, Craig!

Anyone have tabs for the Aguado study? Love to learn it. Tried tabbing it from your youtube videos but you guys are too fast for an oldie like me.

it might take a few seconds to download. http://ukulelecraig.com/aguado.pdf

Ruukie · Jul 20, 2010

Yes, I used the tabs from Craig's website mentioned above (http://ukulelecraig.com/aguado.pdf). The only thing I changed was the final chord which I reduced to a single A tone in the middle sections and to a triplet-arpeggio at the end, but this was only to suit my taste.

zdiver7 · Jul 20, 2010

Craig, I loved Summer's End... looked for tabs on your site but only found tabs for Aguado(thanks for posting btw!)... are the tabs for Summer's End still up? Perhaps I am looking in the wrong areas?

zdiver7 · Jul 20, 2010

Nevermind Craig! Just found it on your Media page... sorry, it's late!

Thanks!

Oh and after watching all of your videos, I think I am convinced that I need to restring in Low G! I am about a month away from being able to play my mahogany tenor that I am building, so that will be my High G uke

I'm trying to memorize another one of Howard's classical-like arrangements for the low G uke so I can post it before I return to school. I hope you enjoy, "Summer's End."
